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, employees from our Tokyo office and the asset management company collaborated with the Forest Lifestyle Institute, a specified nonprofit corporation, to plant approximately 1,000 trees—including cherry, cedar, and maple species—in the forest near a facility for people with intellectual disabilities operated by Komyokai Social Welfare Corporation. The forest had suffered damage from typhoons and pests. In 2025, as a follow-up, we carried out undergrowth clearing activities in the planted area to support the trees’ growth. In addition, we also helped plant sweet potato seedlings, harvest garlic sprouts and pack broad beans at the same facility.

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.

Community Workforce Initiative

Prologis is implementing the Community Workforce Initiative (CWI). We partner with local workforce organizations to provide training, skills development, and job placement to meet the growing demand for more skilled warehouse and logistics workers. CWI assists our customers in building a talent pipeline, and at the same time, both revitalizes career pathways and creates economic opportunity to enrich the communities in which we operate. Our mission is to equip 25,000 individuals with the skills necessary for jobs in transportation, distribution, and logistics by the end of 2025.

CWI in Japan

In Japan, we provide free forklift operation training. The program is available for those who meet the following requirements: (1) work at Prologis Parks in the Kanto and Kansai regions, and (2) have been recommended by customer companies. The objective of this program is to improve the skills of the participants.

Prologis Foundation

The Prologis Foundation was established in the United States in 2001, and additionally established in Japan in 2019. Our grant-making focuses on education, the environment and human welfare. The Prologis Japan Foundation provides the following:

Grants to NPOs

In addition to volunteer activities, the Prologis Foundation actively donates to NPOs and other organizations to address urgent social needs. Every fall, in coordination with our internal wellness program, the Healthy Steps Challenges, we make donations to multiple organizations, and we also operate a program that enables employees to participate in individual giving.

Scholarships for University Students from Children’s Homes

Since 2019, we have awarded scholarships to help university students from children’s homes who must reduce part-time work hours during their job search.
The program helps ease financial concerns so they can focus on securing employment.
Each year we support around ten scholars, and for those who are interested, we also offer business-etiquette training and opportunities to connect with past recipients.

Community Workforce Initiative (CWI)

The Prologis group operates the Community Workforce Initiative (CWI) to help address labor shortages in the logistics sector by partnering with local workforce development programs to provide job placement services, mentorship, skills training, internships, and more. Since its launch in 2018, approximately 36,000 people worldwide have participated in CWI.
In Japan, the Prologis Foundation runs CWI and offers forklift operator training at no cost. Eligible participants are individuals employed at Prologis Parks in the Kanto or Kansai regions who are recommended by our customer companies. Through this program, we aim to help participants enhance their skills and broaden future employment opportunities.
