Every year in May, Prologis organizes IMPACT Day, a day for charitable work and social commitment globally. This year, our team in Germany worked with three organizations that serve local communities.
For the fourth year in a row, the Düsseldorf team helped at the children’s aid center, where, together with colleagues from the Munich and Frankfurt locations, they assisted with gardening and cleanup. The children’s aid center supports children and young people whose parents are in need. In the presence of Düsseldorf's mayor, Josef Hinkel, the team also presented the children’s aid center with a donation check.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to make a positive contribution to our communities and dedicate our time and labor to a good cause,” says Björn Thiemann, senior vice president, regional head Northern Europe. “In addition, IMPACT Day promotes our team spirit by working together on a project that has nothing to do with our day-to-day real estate business.”
Our team in Berlin helped at the Tausendfühler daycare center in the district of Spandau, where approximately 100 children are cared for, encouraged and supported from the age of 1 until they start school. Thanks to various cleaning, tidying and gardening jobs, as well as skilled carpentry, the outdoor area now shines in new splendor. The daycare center also received a donation check.
For the second year in a row, our team in Hamburg donated to and supported CaFée mit Herz e.V. The association offers homeless and socially disadvantaged people a safe and comfortable place to stay. Following the recently completed refurbishment of the sanitary facilities, our team helped clean up, dispose of washing machines and dryers, and connect new machines. The Hamburg team also organized a temporary soft ice cream machine, set up seating and served around 350 ice creams to visitors.
IMPACT Day is important for Prologis because it gives the company an opportunity to give back to society. By supporting various charitable organizations, Prologis sets a positive example and inspires other companies to become more socially involved.
