An internal investigation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found its founder, Klaus Schwab, engaged in workplace misconduct, including bullying, inappropriate behavior toward female employees, and unauthorized luxury spending.
The probe also alleges that Schwab manipulated WEF research data to serve political interests, notably to discredit Brexit. Schwab has denied all allegations, claiming the board breached confidentiality agreements and that the accusations are unfounded. The scandal has sparked a crisis of credibility for the WEF, raising concerns about its governance and the legitimacy of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks.
The controversy has fueled broader criticism of elite influence and transparency at global institutions.
