Policy and Our Approach

Logistics facilities generally do not consume much water compared to other types of buildings. Even so, we recognize the environmental and business gains that can be realized for our customers by adopting an integrated approach for how we use and manage resources. Where possible, we design landscaping that captures and recycles runoff or doesn't require high volumes of water. Many of our buildings are equipped with water-saving features, such as low-flow toilets, motion-activated faucets and systems to capture rainwater for irrigation. We also continue to explore sustainable technologies, including a water-saving technology that improves the efficiency of water systems in the building, resulting in lower utility bills for our customers.

Initiatives towards Water Conservation

Rainwater Recycling

At Prologis Park Narita 1, rainwater is collected and kept for general service water in the event of water or power outages by connecting to the emergency generator.

Contribution to Water Efficiency

In collaboration with building management companies, Prologis installs irrigation timers, significantly reducing water usage. Also, when renewing sanitary fixtures in the portfolio, Prologis replaces them with efficient or water-saving fixtures that automatically adjusts the water quantity.

For example, at Prologis Park Kyotanabe, the water-saving sanitary fixtures resulted in water usage reduction as below.

Toilet stool	8.0L/flush → 5.0L/flush
Urinal	1.6L/flush → 0.8L/flush

Also, we procure “Maintenance Free” materials such as non-wax vinyl tile sheets for floors, dust control carpet for floors, and laminated sheets for walls and toilet bowls coated by the latest protective technology enabling us to reduce operating expenses as well as repair costs.
