The social joint venture between ARES and GXO promotes workplace inclusion
PARIS, France, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Log'ins, the social joint venture between global logistics leader GXO and the nonprofit group ARES, has announced the renewal of its long-term contract with Recyclivre, a committed player in the online second-hand book market.
For nearly 15 years, Log’ins has been responsible for storing and preparing orders for e-commerce customers in France. A logistics team of 70 people, trained by Log’ins, operates the 6,500-square-meter warehouse in Villabé, near Paris, helping to give a second life to nearly 2 million books each year while maintaining high quality standards.
Sylvain Joly, Co-director, Recyclivre, said: "For 15 years now, we’ve been working hand in hand with Log’ins. We’ve doubled our activity over the past five years, and our collaboration has allowed us to manage this growth smoothly. This partnership embodies inclusive and sustainable logistics, serving the circular economy and professional integration, perfectly aligned with the values we uphold."
GXO and ARES created Log’ins in 2011 to help people with disabilities and those facing social exclusion transition smoothly back into the workforce. Leveraging GXO’s industry expertise, the program trains participants in logistics roles such as forklift operation and order preparation, enabling them to acquire practical skills that enhance their employability and attractiveness in the job market. In parallel, using the social methodology of Groupe ARES, participants benefit from individualized social support to address personal challenges and build a solid professional project. Over the past five years, Log’ins has supported more than 500 individuals, 70% of whom have found employment or joined a qualifying training program.
“We are proud that Log’ins provides tailored logistics solutions for Recyclivre in France,” said Vincent Ricci, Managing Director, France, GXO. “This is exactly why GXO and ARES created Log’ins in the first place – to show that social solidarity is a real opportunity for businesses of all kinds."
Guillaume Hérisson, co-Managing Director, ARES, said: "Every story illustrates the impact of Log’ins: pathways to employment, regained autonomy, and renewed confidence for people often excluded due to disability. Alongside GXO and Recyclivre, we create value with our values and continue our ambition to help businesses evolve toward greater inclusion."
