Key Goals of the Conference

to create action in order that business, the public sector and the environment can all benefit from the anticipated changes ahead
to bring together the supply chain and environment sectors in order that the bottom line of business and the impact on the environment may be addressed in a cohesive, harmonized manner.
to create awareness, a sense of urgency, and to build resilliency and the capacity of Canadians to adapt to climate change and environmental pressures by more completely understanding the supply chains that affect them either as individuals or as organizations.
to create a community of interest for those who wish to continue to work together towards some identified common goals relating to supply chain and the environment
to seed relevant research projects from conference profits which would support the conference goals and continue to move the conference agenda forward
