Albert Manifold has publicly criticized the 'false narrative' following his recent dismissal as chairman of BP. The company's board cited 'serious concerns' regarding his conduct, oversight, and governance as the reasons for his immediate removal. Manifold contends that he was dismissed without prior warning or explanation, stating, 'During my time as chairman I worked to drive genuine change at BP.' He highlights his initiatives to cut costs and raise standards within the organization. Despite the board's acknowledgment of his focus and pace, he firmly disputes the claims about his conduct and is determined to counter the narrative surrounding his exit from the company.
