The legal department of chemical and consumer goods company Henkel, is fully equipped to provide outstanding support and counsel to the business, boasting excellent knowledge in applicable laws and regulatory risk matters. Thomas-Gerd Kühn serves as the general counsel and chief compliance officer, and was initially responsible for overseeing the global chemicals business, but eventually moved over to the corporate matters department, which he took over in 2002. The legal function has assisted the company in spearheading environmentally friendly initiatives. One of which being Henkel’s collaboration with social enterprise “Plastic Bank”, which has the stated goal of collecting plastic waste before going into the ocean, and as part of the partnership three plastic collection centres in Haiti were opened last year. This project has enabled the collected plastic to be sorted, processed and then integrated into recycling value chains, demonstrating a remarkable success for Henkel and its legal department.
