ProLogis Green Path

[EN7] In 2008, ProLogis' U.S. Sustainability Champions identified at least one action item each of their offices could take to reduce their environmental impact. The solutions included installing motion sensors for office lighting, unplugging office equipment on the weekend, establishing recycling programs and even mandating double-sided printing. They also assisted our sustainability team on several other corporate initiatives, including calculating the company’s carbon footprint and providing information about electronics management to support a comprehensive corporate recycling policy.

The Sustainability Champions also helped create the "ProLogis Green Path." This initiative is a culmination of the solutions implemented by each office during 2008, compiled and expanded into set of guidelines that address four specific Environmental Impact Areas — Energy, Waste, Procurement and Water—and the various steps each office can take to reduce its impact in each of them.

In early 2009, ProLogis rolled out the Sustainability Champion initiative and Green Path in Europe, and plan to engage Japan and Korea mid-year.
