About LQ’s Third-Party Sustainability Study and Awards 2012:
The recognition of one winner and the finalist firms will be predicated on the score each firm has obtained in its written submission, which represents 60 percent of the total score used to determine the grade of each of the finalists, and the remaining 40 percent of the score of each finalist will be predicated on their 30-minute presentation at LQ’s Symposium.
LQ’s program is designed to recognize that some of the best sustainability practices are achieved through collaboration between 3PLs and their key customers. Demonstrating this collaboration is an important part of the Finalists’ presentations. To register and attend LQ’s July 17th Symposium, visit: http://www.LQsummit.com
