It is a resignation that came as a complete surprise: Bernard Looney has resigned from his position as head of the British energy company BP – with immediate effect. Looney informed the company that he had not been completely transparent with his employer, according to a company statement on Tuesday evening. Looney did not fully disclose previous “personal relationships” with employees. According to reports, it is probably about sexual affairs with colleagues. Until Looney’s successor is determined, the previous finance chief, Murray Auchincloss, will lead the group on an interim basis. BP’s share price temporarily fell by more than one percent on Wednesday.
