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.
The probe also alleges that Schwab manipulated WEF research data to politically undermine Brexit, raising concerns about the organization's credibility and impartiality. Schwab and his wife reportedly benefited from over $1 million in questionable travel expenses, while Schwab himself has denied all allegations and criticized the WEF board's handling of the investigation. The scandal has sparked debate over elite influence, transparency, and the legitimacy of the WEF's global rankings and ESG frameworks.
The controversy threatens to damage the reputation of the WEF and its role in international policy and business circles.
