ENERGY RESOURCE-19 December 2007-ProLogis Wins UK's 'Best Green Business of the Year' Award(C)2007 JeraOne - http://www.jeraone.com

ProLogis, the world's largest owner, manager and developer of distribution facilities, has been named the United Kingdom's "Best Overall Green Business of the Year" for 2007 by World Business Magazine. The company also received the "Most Efficient Green Business" award.

Both awards were presented to ProLogis during the annual World Business Green Business Awards ceremony held at the Dorchester Hotel in London November 29.

The event was hosted by the Haymarket Group, Britain's largest privately owned publisher, in association with INSEAD, a European business school.

The winners of the Green Business Awards are selected by a panel of judges who evaluate entries based on key benchmarks, including innovation, planning and execution, long-term effectiveness, cost benefits and level of team work.

ProLogis was selected among entrants for the "Most Efficient Green Business" award, which recognizes the most effective company actively improving the efficiency of its energy, water and waste management.

The "Best Overall Green Business of the Year" award, which recognizes the most outstanding company actively reducing the impact of its business operations on the environment, was determined by the judges during a closed vote.

"One of the greatest challenges for companies in the property sector today is how to react to the escalating pressure of climate change," said Ken R. Hall, managing director for ProLogis in the UK. "We are very proud of the proactive approach we have taken toward socially and environmentally responsible development and are pleased to have been recognized for our efforts with these awards.

"Looking ahead, we remain committed to continuing to improve the environmental performance of our global portfolio and to providing a practical framework that enables both ProLogis and its customers to achieve their sustainability goals. Sustainability is a top priority for ProLogis and a core competency we are building upon in all of our regions around the world."

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, ProLogis employs more than 1,300 people worldwide. For additional information, visit www.prologis.com.
