The logistics industry is facing a critical labor and driver shortage and Women in Logistics (WIL) offers a powerful solution. By promoting gender balance in the chemical logistics sector, WIL helps address workforce gaps, improve competitiveness, and create more resilient, innovative organizations.

Founded by Dow and H.Essers, WIL unites industry leaders, including chemical producers, logistics providers, and European trade associations, in a groundbreaking collaboration.
Together, they’re working to break down historic barriers, challenge outdated job structures, and champion inclusive hiring practices that attract and retain top talent—regardless of gender.

With women representing just 6% of truck drivers in Europe, the potential impact is enormous. A more balanced workforce doesn’t just improve equity—it drives performance, safety, sustainability, and long-term business success.

WIL is more than an initiative; it’s a catalyst for change. By bridging the gender gap, we secure the future of logistics.
