Launch day has arrived – our 2023-2024 ESG Report is live! Last year, we reached 500MW of installed solar and energy storage capacity and electrified over 2 million miles of clean transportation for our customers. We also stayed ahead of what’s next by piloting a range of innovative sustainability solutions – you’ll need to read through the report to learn more about those because we never stop innovating: https://prolo.gs/3VEyJoQ We also created social and community value through programs and partnerships, such as the Morehouse College Real Estate Institute, PARKlife and Space for Good. Our teams spent significant time and effort fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging, which we believe helps us attract and retain the talent we need to implement our business plan. And speaking of those incredible employees, they gave more than 16,400 hours of their time to local community organizations.

Proud full-circle moment for us: a few months ago we shared about creating an endowed fund for the new Morehouse Real Estate Institute that will expand opportunities for students of color to study real estate and prepare for lucrative careers with top firms in the industry. Last Friday at our San Francisco office, we had the immense pleasure of hosting Dr. Thomas, President of Morehouse College, along with Hodan Hassan, its esteemed Chief Advancement Officer and Vice President of Institutional Advancement. Their discussions with Hamid Moghadam and Nathaalie Carey centered around one key theme - diversifying the pipeline of top-tier talent in commercial real estate. Across the country in Atlanta, future leaders from Morehouse College participated in their first Prologis site visit, led by our East Region leadership team...at the exact same time.
A colossal round of applause for the 15 remarkable individuals who won the annual CRE Scholarship for Women and Underrepresented Professionals from NAIOP and Prologis! Our team enjoyed getting to know some of you this week at #ICONWest! “Supporting and encouraging this rising group of commercial real estate professionals not only benefits their futures but also our companies’ futures as we seek to attract and retain top talent,” said Kim Snyder, executive director with Prologis and immediate past NAIOP chair. As part of the program, each recipient will have the opportunity to earn the NAIOP Certificate of Advanced Study in Commercial Real Estate Development, delivered through courses in NAIOP’s The Center for Education, at no cost.
Shout out to the ladies on our Phoenix team who volunteered with St. Mary's Food Bank in honor of Women’s History Month! They were able to pack 3,168 Emergency Food Boxes for families in need, creating a positive impact on the lives of neighbors across Arizona.
The Tracy office celebrated #BlackHistoryMonth by joining Claims Manager (and culinary maestro) Promise Flowers to learn how to make collard greens! Promise taught her teammates how to properly clean, cut and cook this healthy comfort food, pairing it with iron-skillet cornbread and a spread of BBQ ribs, mac n' cheese and chili beans sourced from Jesse, a local minority-owned pit master. The team came together to finish their meal by enjoying sweet potato pie and soul food.
We have brought on some very talented landscapers to work on our Moissy Chevrons park – and they are the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time). They’re also actual goats and sheep. Eco-grazing is a technique that involves leveraging herbivores to maintain outdoor areas. This natural method eliminates noise and air pollution, minimizes green waste, benefits soil quality and enhances biodiversity. And kudos to the RECX Manager and Facilities Manager, who brought this project to life!
Our Houston team rang in the Lunar New Year with a delicious lunch at Asian-owned Kim Son Restaurant. In the heart of local Chinatown, the team enjoyed an array of Asian street foods, soups, dim sum and desserts, while sharing fun facts and memories about the holiday. The team wore red for good luck and also discussed which zodiac animals they see themselves as, based on traits and personalities. Thank you to our Asian Leadership Network for fostering opportunities for our teams to learn about Asian cultures.
