What Is the Logistics Sector Warning Registry (WLS)? Everything Employers Need to Know

Every year, logistics companies suffer tens of millions of euros in losses due to fraud and theft. And in most cases, the perpetrator isn’t an outsider but someone within the organization itself. For this reason, ACN, TLN, and FENEX have jointly established the Logistics Sector Warning Registry (WLS): an industry-wide tool that enables logistics companies to prevent individuals with a proven track record of fraud or theft from slipping unnoticed into another company in the supply chain. More and more employers are searching online for terms such as “warning registry,” “fraud registry,” and “employee blacklist.” This is a clear sign that the topic is a major concern within the sector. In this article, we explain exactly what the WLS is, how the screening process works, and why joining the registry is relevant for virtually every logistics entrepreneur.

In this article, we explain exactly what pre-employment screening (PES) entails and how you can systematically implement it as a logistics company.
