A holistic approach to ESG

As one of the world’s largest logistics real estate companies, Prologis understands its responsibility to customers, the environment, and local communities. A drive to meet ambitious environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals comes both from teams of dedicated professionals running its operations around the world, as well as from customers, for whom ESG targets are a vital consideration. Its refusal to rest on its laurels has seen Prologis set new ESG goals this year which will bring benefits to customers, employees and communities alike.

Warehouse & industrial

The industrial market has been transforming at a tremendous rate. Although development activity appears to have slowed down somewhat, occupier demand remains strong. All this is set against a background of very low vacancy rates, which are likely to result in a temporary undersupply for some regions. Meanwhile, some developers are ready to take the plunge and build speculatively – according to Jakub Kurek, the industrial and warehouse head of Newmark Polska.

A carbon-zero plant? It’s possible!

A strong push for energy efficiency, modern heat recovery systems and the use of renewable energy sources, plus a partner that shares Panattoni’s environmental principles and has equally ambitious goals in terms of sustainable development and climate neutrality. And the result of such cooperation could only be the first zero-emission factory for Danfoss Poland, built by Panattoni in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. It is also Danfoss’ first such facility in the world.
