LLamasoft's Ability to Help Customers Operate Sustainable Supply Chains Recognized by SDCE
LLamasoft has once again been selected as a winner of the Supply & Demand Chain Executive's Green Supply Chain Award for the third year in a row.

Corporate efforts to achieve sustainability goals include an annual user conference with sustainability focus and metrics, company-wide recycling commitments and promoting and incentivizing alternate commuting methods employees can use to travel to and from work.
