IMPACT Day

IMPACT Day has evolved into a signature event. Every May, the entire Prologis Group employees leave the office and spend a full day volunteering with charities in our local communities in cooperation with various NPO organizations related to education, welfare, the environment, etc.

In 2024, the employees of the Tokyo collaborated with the Forest Lifestyle Institute, a specified nonprofit corporation, to plant trees and work in the fields at a facility supporting the intellectually disabled person. We planted a total of approximately 1,000 trees, such as cherry, cedar, maple, etc. in the forest adjacent to the facility, which had been damaged by typhoons and pests. In addition, we helped plant sweet potato seedlings and sow peanut seeds in the fields cultivated by the facility’s users.

The employees in Osaka spent the day conducting a survey of creatures that live in the Osaka Bay area. Prologis has been working with marine biologists and researchers from an NPO that focuses on environmental conservation since 2015.
