The Logistics Hall of Fame documents the major milestones in the logistics industry. The decisive factor for admission is that a performance has significantly and sustainably advanced logistics beyond the boundaries of the company itself. So far, 34 men and women have been inducted into the World Hall of Fame.

With the "Logistics Leader of the Year", the organization aims to identify the key pacemakers and future trendsetters in logistics as of 2019. It honours entrepreneurs and managers who have made a particularly successful contribution to their companies or initiated a trend-setting impulse. The focus is on actuality and the benefit for the own company.

Both awards will be presented at the annual gala reception in early December in the Erich Klausener Hall of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), Berlin.
