Uniting for Impact: How We Aim to Amplify Our Strength in the Logistics Industry
Our goal is to harness the collective strength of industry members to continue driving positive change. By collaborating on sustainability efforts, we contribute not only to a healthier planet and a better society but also forge a path toward a more responsible and resilient industry.
This commitment to sustainability is not just about mitigating environmental impacts and advancing social initiatives; it’s about creating a legacy of positive influence on society and the earth for generations to come.

Partnership with Delivering Better Lives Foundation
Renovation of ‘His House Children’s Home’
In September of 2023, we managed to bring together 40 volunteers to renovate a cottage at ‘His House Children’s Home,’ a haven for foster children. Our aim was to create a positive change for the kids supported by this Foundation and to encourage our logistics community to help us in the effort to improve the lives of children in foster care. GLT donated $18,000 to this initiative.
Supply Donations for His House Beneficiaries
We have encouraged industry members to contribute donations for the children of the foundation. On one hand, we received over 50 donations of supplies such as baby wipes, diapers, and toys during the house renovation project. On the other hand, in December, we gathered gift donations, making Christmas brighter for more than 50 foster care children.
Logistics Sessions
These free educational events attract industry professionals and guests from leading companies, serving as a marketing strategy for brand awareness. With 19 events, we have invited at least 60 high-profile figures in the industry. This series have reached more than 2,000,000 people since their inception.
Logistics Sessions Every Action Matters Edition
In 2023, we hosted a special event focused on encouraging organizations to generate social and environmental impacts. This event featured prominent individuals like Daniel Grimes, CEO of Delivering Better Lives, and Denise Kearns, Environmental Protection Specialist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Logistics Industry United Against COVID-19:
Throughout the pandemic, Logistics Sessions supported the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) through sponsorships and revenue generated from our virtual summit, ‘Logistics Industry United Against COVID-19.’ Our aim was to continue supporting ALAN’s initiatives, helping them address supply challenges for non-profit organizations.

Partnership with “Casa De La Chinca” in Medellin:
In collaboration with Delivering Better Lives, we contribute to this foundation dedicated to providing shelter and education to girls, adolescents, and young women in vulnerable situations.
Our support helps create a safe and empowering environment where they can transform their realities and become integral, empowered individuals.
Partnership with EAFIT University
This alliance aims to raise funds to support the education of students who, due to economic hardships, are at risk of dropping out of university.
We believe that ensuring the right to education can create change, not only in the lives of those who receive this right but also has a global impact.
Computer Donations
Every month, GLT donates computers to children and schools lacking access to the necessary tools for skill development. Through this initiative, we have donated more than 400 computers to kids and schools, helping them pursue their goals and contribute to building a better future.

We join their quest to promote social inclusion for individuals with spina bifida. As part of this initiative, in March 2024, 32 members of our team participated in the “Corre por Amor” marathon in Medellin with the registration fees going to benefit the organization.
