The “For All Leader” awards recognize company leaders for long-term dedication and commitment to the development of every employee, for connecting diverse people to a common purpose, practicing humility and empathy, adapting to uncertainty, and for fostering trusting relationships across the organization. The CEO recipients were selected from companies that appear on Fortune’s annual lists of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, the 100 Best Workplaces for Women, the 100 Best Workplaces for Diversity, and the 150 Best Small and Medium Companies to Work For.
Logistics Plus has been certified as a Great Place to Work each of the past two years, and last year the company was recognized as the 54th best medium-sized workplace in the Fortune annual rankings.
“Thank you to Michael Bush and everyone here at Great Place to Work for the work you do to inspire companies and leaders to create the best workplaces in the world, and to recognize them when they do,” said Berlin. “My formula at Logistics Plus has been pretty simple. Surround yourself with good people. Treat them well. Communicate. Make work fun. If you do those things and you hire the right people, they’ll stay forever.”
In recognizing the honorees, Great Place to Work CEO Michael C. Bush said “The financial performance of these organizations and the industry leading commitment to corporate responsibility provide strong evidence that when you create a great place to work for all, it is better for business, better for people and better for the world.”
Mr. Berlin joins a 2020 awards list that includes fewer than 50 CEOs from some of the most admired companies in the world, such as American Express, Delta, DHL, Marriott, Salesforce, and Wegmans. The complete list of honorees is available here (Jim’s profile is on page 11).

Logistics Plus Partners With RIO to Restore Integrity to World’s Oceans
Restoring Integrity To The Oceans, Inc. is dedicated to making the oceans safe for all life above and below the water for generations to come.
ERIE, PA (February 11, 2020) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with Restoring Integrity To The Oceans, Inc. (RIO) to support ocean cleanup initiatives.
Logistics Plus, a SmartWay Transport® Partner, aspires to be a leader in environmental sustainability practices. Through its partnership with RIO, Logistics Plus will assist with all aspects of supply chain management. This includes transportation of the plastic debris collected, international regulation assistance, cross-border trading, and navigation of customs and global trade compliance. Logistics Plus is committed to using its global network of customers and partners to connect RIO with people who support its mission of restoring integrity to the World’s oceans.
“Removing plastic waste from the oceans for recycling requires solid logistics and transportation management, and Logistics Plus is proud to be doing its part to help with this commendable initiative,” said Yuriy Ostapyak, Director of Global Operations for Logistics Plus.
RIO has been collecting plastic waste from Earth’s oceans since 2019 at locations around the world. The majority of materials collected can be recycled in some fashion. Some material is recycled directly into new products, such as tennis shoes, while some may be recycled into high value petrochemical products. The largest ocean cleanup to date hosted by RIO was on February 7th and 8th, 2020 in Jakarta, Indonesia. An astonishing total of 11,000 people signed up and participated.
“While we talk about different oceans and assign them various names, we really only have one ocean. After decades on the water I could not continue to take from the ocean without giving back and working to protect the oceans for future generations,” said Kieran Kelly, CEO and Co-Founder of RIO.
“Our partnership with RIO is just one of the many important initiatives we are undertaking to support our sustainable development goals,” added Ostapyak.
About Restoring Integrity To The Oceans, Inc.
Restoring Integrity To The Oceans (RIO) primary objective is to mitigate the amount of plastic that is going into the World’s oceans and work to significantly reduce and remove the plastic waste in the major waste collection areas in the World’s oceans. The primary effort for RIO is preventing the introduction of and reclaiming plastic materials from the ocean, which is accomplished through innovative techniques that vary based on the size and concentration of the plastic waste material encountered. Furthermore, RIO has long term plans to develop products directly to help recycle plastic waste material and promote recognition and education for reducing plastic waste in the oceans.
