World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab has recently faced allegations of manipulating the organization’s research to gain favor with governments. These claims have led to his resignation as chair of the organization over the Easter weekend. A whistleblower letter sent to the WEF board of trustees last week prompted an investigation into the accusations made against Schwab.

In response to the allegations, Schwab has denied all claims against him, including accusations of misusing WEF funds and requesting staff to promote him for a Nobel Peace Prize. One of the key claims made in the whistleblower letter is that Schwab manipulated the organization’s “global competitiveness report,” which plays a significant role in discussions at the annual Davos meeting for world leaders and chief executives.

Schwab has refuted claims that he altered the methodology of the competitiveness report at the behest of governments unhappy with their rankings. He maintains that he has been the intellectual leader behind the report’s methodology since its inception in 1979 and has always sought to uphold its credibility.

These new whistleblower allegations come in the wake of previous claims of a toxic workplace culture at the WEF under Schwab’s leadership, including allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination. An investigation conducted earlier this year did not find any legal violations by the forum or substantiate the misconduct allegations against Schwab.

Despite previously announcing his intention to step down as chair of the board of trustees by January 2027, Schwab’s plans have been disrupted by the recent accusations. The WEF has refrained from commenting on the new allegations against Schwab until the investigation is completed, emphasizing that the claims remain unproven.

Schwab has vehemently denied allegations of misusing WEF resources for personal gain, including using organization properties for personal use and having junior staff withdraw money from ATMs on his behalf. He has taken legal action against his accusers for defamation.

In light of the claim that he used WEF staff to lobby for a Nobel Peace Prize, Schwab has clarified that he has, in fact, discouraged individuals from pursuing such actions on his behalf. Despite the mounting allegations, Schwab has not provided further comment on the situation.

As the investigation into these allegations unfolds, the future of Klaus Schwab and his role within the World Economic Forum remains uncertain. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
