BP Interim CEO in Long-Term Relationship With Colleague, Unlike Predecessor Who Resigned Over Undisclosed Relationships

BP's interim CEO Murray Auchincloss is in a long-term relationship with a BP coworker, which was properly disclosed to the company. This is unlike former CEO Bernard Looney, who failed to disclose details of past relationships with colleagues.
Looney resigned earlier this week after 3 years as CEO for not fully disclosing personal relationships with coworkers. The board previously investigated rumors in 2022 but was assured there were no issues.
Auchincloss was hired in 2020 as CFO. He has worked at BP since the 1990s and held various roles. The board is searching for a permanent new CEO.
In 2007, former BP CEO John Browne resigned after being outed as gay by a tabloid and lying about how he met his partner.
BP's code of conduct advises properly disclosing conflicts of interest like relationships between employees, but does not outright ban them.
