LQ is pleased to announce that David Guernsey, the former Senior Sustainability Program Manager and the acknowledged “father of sustainability” at UPS, will be helping to guide our discussions at LQ’s September 26th Symposium at the Toronto Board of Trade's Country Club during the program's roundtable Executive Exchange.

LQ’s September 26th Symposium will focus on the theme of Developing New Strategies to Create Supply Chain Engagement from two perspectives: Leveraging Sustainability to Create More Meaningful Customer Relationships as well as Engagement, and New Ways to Create Powerful Internal Collaboration - reaching your firm’s executive management team with a clear supply chain strategy to deliver results to all stakeholders and enhance profitability.
 
A few of the Supply Chain Engagement Topics LQ’s Symposium will cover include:
 
• Making chain sustainability a priority for senior level executives and middle management across your firm – through to procurement practices
 
• Working with your suppliers to build cost effective programs to spread your standards up and down your supply chain
 
• Communicating and reporting on your supply chain sustainability efforts: leverage your sustainability efforts and reports, and engaging consumers to better inform them on your work in this area

In addition to featuring luncheon speaker Dr. Yossi Sheffi, MIT, LQ’s Symposium will provide its delegates with a unique workshop learning environment – to learn from some of the finest supply chain educators and leading executives in North America – logisticians and 3PLs alike.
