Partnerships are key to our business. An effective supply chain helps ensure we are flowing in the right direction. That is why we were excited to sponsor Supply Chain Canada's West Fall Conference. Not only did our team learn a lot about leveraging the power of relationships, but our own Laralyn Klesken, VP of Procurement Canada and Craig Dicken, Canada Supply Chain Manager, helped lead these thought-provoking conversations as part of a panel and as a guest speaker. We hope attendees got just as much value out of the conference as we did!

Most Dedicated. Most Team Spirit. Most Improved. Since 1981, the Esso Medals program has helped coaches recognize young players for their commitment on the ice.
