London/New York | BCG’s chief executive said its involvement with a postwar plan for Gaza that envisioned relocating a quarter of the population had been “reputationally very damaging”, as the Save the Children charity halted a two-decade partnership with the firm.
As he tried to limit the fallout, Christoph Schweizer said the “profoundly disappointing” episode was the result of “deliberate individual misconduct, and it was enabled by unwarranted process exceptions, missed warning signs and misplaced trust”. He promised a “firm-wide remediation effort” in a letter to alumni.
