About

With a global network in 220 countries and regions worldwide, DHL is a perfect example of an international company. Consequently, the legal team has a breadth of responsibility of which it must stay abreast, and this is no exception for the legal team at DHL Express Sweden. Spearheaded by Per Westerberg, vice president and head of legal Nordic and Baltic region, the legal team in Sweden regularly find themselves in contention with a range of commercial agreements and issues faced by the business which include intellectual property challenges, claims and litigation and regulation. The Swedish team is anchoring DHL’s global drive for stronger corporate responsibility into the Swedish branch of the company, with a view to make corporate responsibility an even more central aspect of the corporate strategy. With “Living Responsibility” as their motto, there is a concerted focus on environmental protection (GoGreen), disaster management (GoHelp), education (GoTeach) and support employee volunteerism (Global Volunteer Day, Living Responsibility Fund). The legal team has proven itself instrumental in the implementation and communication of these initiatives.
