Which recent political, economic, or regulatory changes have impacted the company and the team the most?

The past two years have been incredibly challenging with the pandemic. The team has been resilient and adjusted well to the new virtual environment and our company has been quick and consistent when implementing decisions. Communication with the team and management was key during uncertain times and even though we suffered a lack of proximity, as a team and as a company we were able to deliver and meet our customers’ expectations.

In what ways do you see the in-house legal role evolving in your region over the next few years?

Our focus will be on digitalisation and becoming a more strategic partner for our internal customers, by facilitating contract negotiations and implementing legal digital tools that can be accessed and used by our internal customers. Our role as advisers will focus more on governance, high risks issues and significant opportunities and understanding how we as lawyers can add more value to the business. We will also continue to educate our lawyers to be experts in the logistics industry.

How has the increasing consciousness of climate change and sustainability affected the company and the team’s priorities?

Our company has a clear and solid sustainability roadmap. As a team, we are proud of the Group’s strategy. It has impacted the team positively to be part of a company whose main purpose is: “Connecting People and Improving Lives.” As a legal team, we clearly understand how much we can contribute to our company’s priorities. We are part of a company with extraordinarily strong values and that sets an example in our industry as a sustainability leader.
