Can you briefly explain how the legal team is structured, highlighting key individuals and their role within the department? 

The legal team is a multinational team, structured with having a country lead in the following countries: Norway, Sweden, GB, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. CCEP further has a corporate, compliance, commercial and strategy, and operations, and technology department. The head of our team is Clare Wardle who holds the position as general counsel and company secretary.

As a country lead, I hold the position as the legal lead for Norway. See further description below

What are the most significant cases or transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in?

In Norway, we are proud to say that we drive the sustainability agenda with our 100 percent recircled bottle (100 % rPET). The legal team played an important part of this move while working together with other stakeholders to set up other DRS processes worldwide building on best practices for Norway. Participating in this large tender for legal services for the whole CCEP in 2020/2021, I was in the committee that designed the criteria for the tender. As part of the equality, inclusion, and diversity policy, we asked the participating companies to describe how this was handled and complied with internally, and we also asked for three initiatives that had been introduced recently. We received positive feedback from the participants, and a lot of attention from the Norwegian industry.

What will be the main focus for the company in the next 12 months and how do you intend to assist with this?

The main objective is to continue being a successful bottler for our brands while managing to reduce our carbon footprint. The legal team will work to ensure that we grab the opportunities in the market, while conducting the right risk assessment to protect our license to operate. Digitalisation is a key area, where we work together with the commercial team to facilitate collaborations at an early stage to drive innovation and create new ways of working while liaising with the commercial team to take the next step. We also sit in the negotiation tables with our clients to drive profit and reduce risks.

How does the team contribute constructively to the growth and expansion of the company?

As the lead for legal activities in Norway, I develop and drive the implementation of CCEP’s legal strategy by designing service delivery model and governance to support commercial and corporate initiatives. Advising the business one risk while anticipating and addressing internal and external factors, I direct other legal colleagues in the execution of our legal approach.
