Sustainable development

Among the world’s leading industrial developers, Prologis was an early advocate and promoter of sustainable design and construction, and as such remains committed to remaining the global leader in sustainable development. The company adheres to time-tested design standards, developing creative solutions that minimize environmental impact and maximize energy efficiency.

The commitment to sustainable development provides customers with a triple-bottom-line benefit: employee well-being, environmental stewardship and significant operating cost reduction. Prologis develops highly efficient facilities utilizing the following strategies:

• Employing project management personnel and consultants that are accredited professionals in green and sustainable site and building development
• Using recycled and locally sourced construction materials, which reduce environmental impact and carbon footprint
• Installing high-efficiency lighting systems that integrate T5 and T8 fluorescent fixtures with photoelectric cells and motion sensors to significantly reduce electricity consumption
• Installing low-usage water systems that utilize treated “gray” water (if locally available), recycled rainwater (where practical) and low-volume plumbing fixtures, resulting in lower water consumption at the facilities
