At ProLogis, ethics & governance means working with integrity and ensuring effective oversight and accountability. Without mechanisms to provide corporate oversight and strong programs to promote an ethical culture, the company cannot support growth over the long term.
Descriptions of associations, memberships and indices that help us account for our corporate responsibility are described below.
Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are the first global indexes tracking the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide and providing asset managers with reliable and objective benchmarks to manage sustainability portfolios. ProLogis was added to the North American and World indexes in September 2008, placing it among a select group of firms recognized for their commitment to corporate responsibility.
The FTSE4Good Index, established jointly by The Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange, measures the performance of companies that meet globally recognized corporate responsibility standards. It was launched in response to demand from investors for more information about companies focused on corporate social responsibility. FTSE4Good intends to support the evolution and improvement of corporate practice in the areas of environmental and social responsibility. ProLogis has been a member of this index since 2005.
Launched in 1990, the Domini 400 is one of seventeen indexes developed by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc., the leading provider of environmental, social and governance research for institutional investors. KLD indexes are used by investment managers to integrate environmental, social and governance criteria into their investment decisions.
