Our October guest presenter, Ruth, is currently working with PHSA Supply Chain department to look at how they can weave sustainability into their purchasing practices. By factoring the social, economic and ecological aspects of a product into the purchasing decision, we can work with our suppliers to encourage sustainable practices, such as minimizing packing, or recycling electronics. PHSA has taken a leadership role in environmental sustainability. They build their new buildings to LEED® Gold standards and were the first health-care organization in Canada to use LED lights in one of their parking lots. These are just two examples of the types of practices that will help meet the provincial government's requirement to be carbon neutral by 2010.

Enjoy dinner and mingle with your fellow Logistics/Supply Chain minded colleagues for the cost of $38.00 including taxes and gratuities.
