Primary: LED lighting rollout across portfolio Goal: 100% LED lighting installed across entire portfolio by 2025. Reached 42% of portfolio by area (330 MSF) by end of 2020, expanding LED coverage by nearly 50% in 2020. 90% of top ten customers participate via Prologis Essentials LED program (no upfront capital, $0.01/sq ft monthly fee for 5 years). LED cuts warehouse lighting consumption 60–80%.

Primary: Carbon-neutral construction (embodied carbon) New 2025 goal to achieve 100% carbon-neutral construction globally, addressing ~11% of global emissions tied to embodied carbon. Uses smart design, low-carbon materials, recycled content, construction waste reduction, and certified offsets for remainder. UK life-cycle assessments completed on 57 buildings since 2008. Circular building design and digital materials passports piloted in Netherlands.

Dependent: Customer downstream leased-asset emissions (CarbonZero program) Downstream leased assets are by far the largest Scope 3 category and 99.9% of total footprint. Scope 3 fell 28% YoY in 2020 driven by 38% drop in downstream leased asset emissions, despite 10% square-footage growth. CarbonZero program offers customers turnkey carbon-neutral building operations via vetted offsets + RECs alongside efficiency and onsite solar.
