Future-Proofing Warehouses: Resilient Energy and Smart Infrastructure (Webinar)

In this webinar moderated by Sarah Golden (VP of Climate Tech and Executive Director at Trellis Group's Verge), logistics and real estate leaders discuss how warehouses and logistics hubs are being transformed by the energy transition. John Hoekstra (SVP of Global Sustainability, Prologis) joins Jessica Himmelreich (Vice President and Head of Sustainability, Geodis America) and Anneli Tostar (CEO and Co-founder, Tangible) to explore practical ways to improve energy resilience, deploy smarter infrastructure and scale low-carbon building practices across portfolios. The conversation covers how intelligent energy systems are showing up in real facilities today, why energy efficiency and solar are often first steps, and how technologies such as battery storage, on-site power generation and microgrids can support reliability when grid availability is constrained. Speakers also discuss data transparency for embodied carbon, challenges in leased facilities, green lease strategies and how customer Scope 3 goals are influencing logistics decisions. Topics discussed • Warehouse resilience and the energy transition • Energy efficiency, smart systems and electrification inside the warehouse • Low-carbon materials and embodied carbon measurement • Solar, battery storage, microgrids and on-site generation • Fleet electrification and charging infrastructure planning • Site selection strategies that reduce transportation emissions • Cost, ROI and approaches to scaling sustainable infrastructure • Retrofit strategies for existing buildings • Tenant-owner collaboration and green leases • Community solar and grid-connected solutions • AI and digital tools for sustainability decision-making Questions this webcast helps answer • What makes a warehouse “future-ready” for the energy transition? • Which technologies deliver the fastest operational and emissions benefits? • When do microgrids and storage make sense for logistics facilities? • How can companies reduce embodied carbon at scale? • How can tenants influence sustainability upgrades in leased facilities? • How do customer sustainability goals affect logistics and real estate decisions?
