September 30 2020 - 4:15PM
La-Z-Boy today announced it is the recipient of the 2020 Award of
Excellence – Making an Impact from the Association for Supply Chain
Management (ASCM), the global leader in supply chain learning,
transformation, innovation and leadership. Darrell Edwards, SVP and
Chief Operating Officer, will be featured in a LinkedIn Live
interview on Tuesday, October 20, at 1:00 p.m. Central.
La-Z-Boy received the award for its commitment
to record-breaking safety performance, sustainability through
environmental health and stewardship, and numerous philanthropic
and volunteer initiatives within its communities. The company
currently has eight zero-waste-to-landfill-endorsed facilities, 97%
of its manufacturing waste is reused or recycled, and water
conservation efforts have reduced usage by more than 25,000,000
gallons a year.
Edwards said, “We are honored to have received
this prestigious award from the ASCM. While our commitment to
crafting products that meet or exceed industry standards for
quality and safety is of supreme significance, we are equally
committed to the environment and integrating sustainable business
practices throughout our operations. With our employees among our
greatest assets, their safety and wellness are paramount to our
culture as we go to work each day. And, we are proud to follow the
example set by our company’s founders more than 90 years ago to
enhance the quality of life in the communities in which we live and
serve through leadership, financial contributions and volunteer
efforts.”
The ASCM Award of Excellence — Making an
Impact recognizes an initiative that creates a better world
through supply chain as a result of pioneering corporate social
responsibility, proven business integrity and an unwavering focus
on sustainability.
