SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc., (NYSE: PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate, today hosted a thought leadership event and launched a new e-magazine, both of which address the issues facing today's supply chain: transportation innovation, renewable energy initiatives, and workforce scarcity.

Prologis' new digital publication, GROUNDBREAKERS, features some of today’s most influential thought leaders in its inaugural issue who share groundbreaking approaches to redefine global logistics.

Groundbreakers 2021: Breaking New Ground
The event was headlined by a conversation between UPS CEO Carol Tomé and Prologis CEO Hamid Moghadam and moderated by Susie Gharib, Anchor and Senior Special Correspondent, Fortune. Bestselling author Michael Lewis delivered closing remarks.

"The pandemic changed everything," said Prologis CEO Hamid Moghadam. "Not only did it accelerate trends at work, but it also exposed the fragility of the global supply chain, which was optimized for efficiency, not resilience. The old ways worked -- until they didn't. The leaders we heard from today are at the cutting edge of this exciting new world."
