石油巨头英国石油（BP）周二罢免了董事长阿尔伯特·曼尼福德，原因是公司认定其存在严重的治理与行为问题。该公司在任命曼尼福德担任董事会领导职位还不到一年的时间里，就突然将其解职。
该公司在一份声明中表示，董事会一致认为曼尼福德不应再担任董事长和董事职务，其免职即刻生效。
英国石油高级独立董事阿曼达·布兰克表示，公司董事会“对发现其认为不可接受的治理失当与行为问题感到意外和失望，并已采取果断行动”。
英国石油称，建筑材料分销商格拉夫顿集团董事长、自2025年4月起担任英国石油董事会成员的伊恩·泰勒将出任临时董事长。
英国石油表示，将启动寻找永久董事长的工作。
曼尼福德于去年获任现职，此前曾领导总部位于都柏林的全球建材企业CRH。近年来英国石油面临需求下滑的困境，公司当时曾寻求一位能够带领公司转型的新任董事长。
受国际基准布伦特原油价格下跌近17%影响，英国石油2025年收益较上年下降16%，至74.9亿美元。
周二，英国石油在纽约证券交易所的股价下跌5%。

Oil giant BP on Tuesday removed Chair Albert Manifold after identifying what it called serious governance and conduct concerns, abruptly ousting the executive less than a year after appointing him to lead the board.
The board unanimously decided that Manifold should no longer serve as chair and a director, with his removal effective immediately, the company said in a statement.
Amanda Blanc, senior independent director at BP, said the company’s board was “surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action.”
Ian Tyler, chair of construction materials distributor Grafton Group and a BP board member since April 2025, will serve as interim chair, BP said.
BP said it will begin a search for a permanent chair.
Manifold, who was appointed to his position last year, had previously led Dublin-based global building materials company CRH. BP had sought a new chair who could redirect the company as BP struggled with falling demand in recent years.
BP’s 2025 earnings dropped 16% from a year earlier to $7.49 billion, as the price of Brent crude, the international benchmark, dropped by nearly 17%.
Shares of BP slid 5% on the NYSE on Tuesday.
