APPLETON, WI – May 20, 2025 – Material Logistics & Services, LLC, a division of WSI (Warehouse Specialists, LLC), has been named one of the American Chemistry Council’s three 2025 Responsible Care® Partner of the Year Award recipients. This prestigious recognition highlights the 3PL’s ongoing commitment to safety and operational excellence.
The award recognizes companies that have completed all Responsible Care obligations and maintained an excellent safety record in the past calendar year. “We handle large volumes of essential and often extremely hazardous materials,” says Scott Buber, Director of WSI’s Chemical Division Operations and Regulatory Compliance. “This recognition reflects our team’s unwavering commitment to the highest standards in chemical logistics. Safety is a foundational element of our business, not just a compliance checkbox.”
As a Responsible Care® Partner since 2013, WSI consistently exceeds regulatory requirements through voluntary initiatives that promote safe, ethical chemical handling. WSI’s practices have shown significant results across its national warehouse network, including saving over 14,600 trees, preventing more than 3,600 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and preserving over 3,300 cubic yards of landfill space. These achievements result from coordinated efforts across facilities, such as reducing hazardous waste output and optimizing resource usage. WSI has also consistently outperformed warehouse safety standards, with a reportable incident rate well below the industry average.
“There is nothing more important than safety for both our customers and employees,” says Robert Schroeder, CEO of WSI’s family of companies. “Our commitment to responsible logistics is fundamental to who we are as an organization.”
