APPLETON, WI – 12/08/2025– WSI (Warehouse Specialists, LLC), a leading North American third-party logistics provider, has been recognized by EcoVadis among the top 15% of organizations assessed globally for corporate responsibility performance.
The achievement marks significant year-over-year progress for WSI, which improved its overall score and advanced from a Bronze rating in 2024 to a Silver rating in 2025. The improvement demonstrates the company’s commitment to steady, measurable advancement in corporate social responsibility.
EcoVadis assesses companies on environmental impact, labor practices, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Rankings are calculated across all companies and industries evaluated by the platform, making WSI’s top 15% placement a significant achievement.
The recognition reflects WSI’s focus on continuous improvement across its operations. Rather than pursuing dramatic one-time initiatives, the company has chosen consistent, systematic, and impactful enhancements.
“We’ve continued to improve procurement policies, employee training, and operational safety protocols,” said Paul Simmons, President of WSI. “They are small but consistent steps that represent a fundamental commitment to doing things right. When you’re handling chemicals and industrial materials for customers who trust you with their products, that attention to detail matters.”
WSI’s progress in sustainable logistics was reinforced by other notable achievements in 2025, which included winning Responsible Care Partner of the Year and becoming one of the first logistics companies to complete the Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) logistics audit, which WSI passed with zero deficiencies.
