About LQ’s SC Study and Awards Program:

LQ’s 3PL Sustainability Study and Awards Program, which now contains two sections; a Supply Chain Benchmarking Study included in the First Section of LQ's 3PL Sustainability Study, as well as the traditional Second Section that is comprised of case-study oriented questions. Participants must complete both sections to be candidates for placement in LQ's 3PL Sustainability Study and Awards Program (2015).

LQ’s Study is designed to offer participants (logisticians and 3PLs alike) data-driven insights to reduce your costs, enhance performance and reduce waste.

An estimated 10 minutes are required to complete the Supply Chain Benchmarking section of LQ’s survey, which has been developed in consultation with thought leaders from Michigan State University, The Ohio State University and LQ’s Board. Completion of the Second Section of LQ’s Study, in addition to the new Maturity Matrix, will enable your firm to become a candidate for recognition in LQ’s Best Performer in Supply Chain Sustainability Awards Symposium, which will be held in Toronto on October 9, 2015.
