BP has removed Chair Albert Manifold with immediate effect. The company cited serious concerns regarding governance, oversight, and conduct as the primary reasons for the sudden leadership change. This move comes as BP continues a broader strategy reset. The company has recently faced pressure from activist investors and has reconsidered its 2030 oil and gas output targets to balance investor returns with its long term climate goals.

Another leadership shakeup at BP. They are clearly struggling to find a balance between keeping shareholders happy and actually hitting decarbonization targets.
The governance issues are the real story here. If the oversight is broken, any climate pledge they make is just a PR exercise. Incentives need to be tied to actual emissions cuts, not just stock price.
Strategy resets are fine, but what does this mean for their actual renewable CAPEX? I want to see the updated investment schedule for wind and storage, not just a change in the boardroom.
Exactly. They already scrapped the 2030 oil output target. This chair removal suggests the internal fight over the transition is getting messier.
