How do you manage legal matters during periods of instability or crisis, and how does your legal strategy align with the overall business strategy to ensure the organisation’s resilience? 

During periods of instability or crisis, the management of legal matters must focus on proactive risk identification, legal compliance matrices, and the implementation of mitigation strategies. This requires close collaboration with all business units to ensure that legal responses are swift and effective. Therefore, any legal strategy must be aligned through constant communication with senior management, ensuring that legal decisions support the company’s long-term objectives and contribute to its organisational resilience. 

At all times, the legal strategy must be flexible and adaptable, adjusting legal priorities in response to environmental changes while remaining grounded in the organisation’s mission, values, and commercial and operational objectives. 

What measures has your company taken to incorporate sustainability practices into its core business operations, and how does the role of the General Counsel contribute to driving and ensuring sustainable practices within the company?
