The event takes place on October 4th and is for executives that want to highlight their work with key contributions to their company’s success. The nomination period closed on the 15th of August.
The top 5 winners will be able to pick up a trophy designed by Romanian artist Albert Sofian.
“The Leaders in Supply Chain Awards trophies are true works of art, created and executed by the Romanian artist Albert Sofian, as symbols of a supply chain-connected globe. A trajectory surrounding the globe represents the characteristics of supply chain leadership, including strength, resilience and the ability to overcome obstacles, ending with gold at the top – the pinnacle of a successful leadership journey,” say organisers Alcott Global.
During the submission period for candidates, potential award winners were asked to submit evidence of the following on a confidential basis:
- how they created a quantifiably more diverse and engaged workforce
- how they had a quantifiable impact through the use of digital technologies
- how they had a quantifiable impact in terms of innovation in sustainability
In addition, a clear set of objectives had to be presented explaining the economic, geo-political context. Another requirement was to present the overall impact a candidate’s decisions had over their business.
