The Chief Executive Officer from Primark, Paul Marchant, leaves the company after it has shown a behavior that does not correspond to the corporate standards, says Primark in a statement. The incident is not announced.

“Paul Marchant’s resignation follows an independent examination of a person’s complaint about his behavior in a social environment,” says the statement. The CEO had granted his “misjudgment” and agreed that his actions were not compatible with the company standards. Marchant apologized to the person concerned and his colleagues. He was the second CEO of Primark and followed the founder Arthur Ryan in 2009.

Primark states to continue to be in contact with the person who has expressed their concerns (rightly). The company says that they have offered their support. The fashion chain also welcomes the message of inappropriate behavior: “We continue to encourage all people with concerns to share them with us.”
