BP is tightening its rules on intimate relationships between staff after a scandal involving its now-ex-CEO.
  • BP is tightening its rules around office romances for all staff. 
  • Workers must now declare any intimate relationship with a colleague, even if there is no conflict of interest.
  • In September, now-ex-CEO Bernard Looney was found to have committed "serious misconduct" over an employee relationship.

Last year, BP faced an embarrassing episode when former CEO Bernard Looney resigned after the company's board said he hadn't been fully transparent about his personal relationships with colleagues.

Now the oil giant is making sure that doesn't happen again.
