An internal investigation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found that its founder, Klaus Schwab, engaged in unauthorized spending, workplace misconduct, and inappropriate behavior toward female employees.
Schwab and his wife reportedly benefited from over $1 million in questionable travel expenses, and he is accused of manipulating WEF research data to serve political interests, including allegedly rigging reports to discredit Brexit. The scandal has raised serious concerns about the WEF's credibility, its governance, and the legitimacy of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework. Schwab has denied all allegations, claiming the accusations are false and criticizing the WEF board for their handling of the probe.
The controversy has sparked a wider debate about elite influence, transparency, and accountability at global institutions.
