Past Events : Strategy Institute’s "Lean & Green Supply Chain Strategies Summit"

(Toronto, ON. November 17-18, 2009)
The Strategy Institute’s “Lean & Green Supply Chain Strategies Summit” had for an objective to demonstrate, through presentations by industry leaders, how moving towards a greener supply chain could strengthen your bottom line. Enhanced efficiencies lead to lower operating costs, making operation more economically and environmentally sustainable.

This summit featured over a dozen presentations from supply chain professionals who touched on strategies to increase supply chain efficiencies. Following this summit, ecofreight collaborated with 3 of the presenting companies in order to share their experience in greening their supply chain.

Here are the links and brief summaries of the 3 success stories mentioned above which are featured in Industry Focus on the Shippers section of this website.
