Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis is sounding the alarm after the World Economic Forum tapped BlackRock CEO Larry Fink as an interim co-chair of its board of directors.
Fink, who is a key proponent of stakeholder capitalism will co-chair the globalist organization alongside Roche Holding’s vice-chair Andre Hoffman.
The globalist elite forum announced Friday that an investigation into alleged mismanagement of funds from the WEF’s founder Klaus Schwab yielded no evidence, clearing Schwab and his wife Hilde of accusations of wrongdoing.
“Minor irregularities, stemming from blurred lines between personal contributions and Forum operations, reflect deep commitment rather than intent of misconduct,” the WEF said in a statement. “The Board has taken action to address all issues identified throughout the investigation, including strengthening the governance in general.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney is a regular speaker at the elite Davos conference, which champions environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. ESG promotes ranking private companies on social and environmental responsibility, often charging significant fees for assessments.
At the time the investigation was launched Schwab resigned as the chair of the WEF Board of Trustees and the vice chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, the former CEO of Nestlé, was appointed chairman in the interim.
Following the WEF’s findings, Brabeck-Letmathe will no longer serve as the interim chairman. The WEF instead appointed Fink and Hoffman as interim co-chairs.
Fink is the CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management organization, which manages assets for governments, central banks, and the private sector.
“This moment marks a pivotal transition for the World Economic Forum. The board will now focus its attention on institutionalizing the forum as a resilient international organization for public-private cooperation,” the WEF statement said. “This next chapter will be guided by the original mission developed by Klaus Schwab: Bringing together government, business and civil society to improve the state of the world.”
In a co-authored statement, Fink and Hoffman said the world needs the WEF now more than ever.
“We remain optimistic. The forum has an opportunity to help drive international collaboration in a way that not only generates prosperity but distributes it more broadly,” the statement read. “This renewed vision can promote open markets and national priorities side by side, while advancing the interests of workers and stakeholders globally.”
Lewis, who has a history of targeting global entities such as the WEF and World Health Organization, criticized the new appointees, raising concerns about what their involvement could mean for the global economy.
In a post on X, Lewis said the WEF’s announcement that it will blend finance, sustainability, and digital innovation more than ever before was cause for alarm.
“BlackRock manages trillions in global assets, so there are strong financial assets steering WEF’s agenda,” Lewis said in the post. “Fink is a champion of Environmental Social Governance & climate finance, which aligns with WEF’s stated world goals. “
Lewis also noted BlackRock has pushed for crypto and digital assets. She predicted blockchain and tokenization would become more prominent on the “Davos agenda.”
