You just need to change the word "solution" to "solutions".

Neither is correct:

Our mission is to provide our customers with a reliable, flexible and cost effective solution to all their logistics needs. We take great pride and responsibility in being able to deliver their goods on time and in ensuring they are not damamged in transit.

I have also been a business studies teacher all my life. I assumed that because you have various customers, they might each require a different solution for their individual needs. Therefore I used the plural tense for solutions to match the plural word "customers" - but not knowing exactly what your business is, and the number and variety of solutions you have, I used the plural. You can say: "We take great pride and responsibility in delivering your goods", if you are directing this remark towards the goods which are being provided for this individual firm.

Quite a tricky piece of English. Having said all this, I hope your customers will be very happy with the goods, the services and your letter. Best wishes
