Prologis recognizes that as a company who works closely with general contractors and other suppliers, it has the opportunity promote healthy and safe working environments when their activities support Prologis.
Prologis general contractors in the United States are required to provide accident and incident data along with their business information when proposing to work with ProLogis. This data will be collected on an annual basis and taken into full consideration—along with factors such as cost and prior project experience—to assess contractor performance in procurement and contracting decisions.
In an effort to spread economic value to the economies in which we operate, Prologis utilizes local construction materials and suppliers when possible. The two largest components of Prologis buildings, concrete and steel, are procured from local suppliers. In addition, Prologis uses local or regional contracting for the construction of its buildings 90 to 95 percent of the time. This effort supports local businesses, providing employment and business development opportunities. In addition to supporting communities in a financial sense, utilizing local suppliers also often reduces shipping and transportation of goods and people, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving fossil fuels.
