- Charities and Local Communities
We want to have a positive impact on the people and environment in our local areas and create long-term social value through our business and individual actions.
Our impact on wider society is important to us and our employees. Through our business-wide Charities and Local Communities programme we support charitable organisations through employee participation, sponsorship and donations across all the regions where we operate, focusing on youth and sustainability.
We hold an annual Logicor Environmental Volunteers’ day where our employees across all of our offices spend a day working to improve the local environment. In previous years, we have partnered with Trees for Cities to help to clear woodlands, plant trees and improve biodiversity in local community based green spaces. We continue to partner with local environmental organisations across our business, and this year our employees are volunteering on local community farms, and are cleaning beaches and river canals.
In addition every year, employees in each of our regions take part in raising money for local charitable causes, through sporting and other events and initiatives. From running marathons in Luxembourg to cycling 300km in Poland, our teams enjoy the annual charity days.
We are continuing to advance our programme as we recognise that our large portfolio of well-connected assets through Europe provides further opportunities to create social value in local communities.

European community spaces rejuvenated
All teams across Logicor rejuvenated local community spaces during Logicor Environmental Day.
Thanks to initiatives such as Race'n'Raise powered by Logicor, non-profit organizations cooperating with businesses can support important charity initiatives.
“Using the experience of the Horizons Scholarship Program, we have also launched scholar-ships for young people from other countries and underprivileged backgrounds.
Thanks to the involvement of the Logicor team and their business partners who participated, the funds collected will allow us to support specific young persons - to cover the costs of their annu-al scholarship that will enable them to study and develop in a high school in Poland.”

Netherlands Environmental Day
During the Dutch annual Environmental Day, the team came together in 2025 to clean up the beaches in Zandvoort. Working side by side, we collected a significant amount of waste and helped protect the local environment. In total, we gathered 12 plastic PET bottles, 13 cans and 11 pieces of glass. We also filled two garbage bags with general waste and two with other plastics. A small action, but a meaningful contribution to cleaner shores and seas.

Nordics Environmental day
Members of the Finnish and Swedish teams have focused on maintaining biodiversity in collaboration with the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation.
Acting as one in Espoo, Finland, the team cleared a pollinator meadow in this beautiful cultural and historical landscape. Clearing a pollinator meadow is one of the best ways to contribute to nature because pollinators play an extremely important role in our ecosystem. Protecting their habitat is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and clearing helps to create and maintain pollinator friendly wildflower meadows.
Joona Suomela, Country Manager of Finland, said, “Our teams truly enjoyed doing good for nature and spending time together. Finnish nature has a dedicated festive flag-flying day on the last Saturday of August, and our participation in mowing a pollinator field was a great way to celebrate Finnish nature. I would like to give my warmest thanks to the Finnish Association for nature Conservation for smooth collaboration.”
France
"Terre Terre" an urban farm at the gates of Paris!
Our French teams visited an urban farm in Aubervilliers, just north of Paris.
La SAUGE, an association promoting urban agriculture, was founded in 2015. Its mission is to develop urban farming across France by building urban farms that are replicable, dismantlable, productive, educational, and recreational! The goal: to accelerate urban greening and challenge our consumption habits.
For La SAUGE, the value of urban agriculture lies not only in its productive aspect but also in the impact that production has on the surrounding communities. By offering the public the opportunity to learn gardening skills every week, the association helps spread a culture of ecological transition and plants the seeds of new gardeners around it.
In small groups, the teams spent the entire day engaged in various activities: weeding and maintaining the plant nursery; harvesting fruits and vegetables from the open-field garden; clearing, compost maintenance, and preparing the soil for upcoming plants. Finally, the teams built two wooden worktables that the association can use to continue maintaining the farm.
Analyst Jihane Loutfi said: "It was a bonding experience for the team and enriching to help in a farm located in a department we know well. We have assets in this area, including Garonor and Le Blanc-Mesnil."
This day allowed us to reconnect with nature, learn about agroecology principles, and, most importantly, volunteer in our local community, helping La SAUGE progress with its social and environmental project and supporting our strategy of acting responsibly.

Spending time with our community neighbours in Warsaw
As part of our work to positively impact the communities in which we operate, we have spent time at one of Warsaw’s nursing homes, “U Matysiaków,” where we took care of the garden and lawns. The home, which accommodates around 100 elderly residents, is dedicated to the care and well-being of those who live there.
Through planting 1,700 bushes and bulbs right in front of the entrance, the residents, many of whom rarely get the chance to go outside, will be able to enjoy the sight of beautiful greenery right from their windows!
This initiative is part of the “Time for the Forest” programme, aimed at neutralising CO2 emissions and protecting the natural environment. By participating, we’re supporting sustainable development and contributing to the well-being of our planet.
The organisers from the Aeris Futuro Foundation were impressed with our efforts, and we couldn’t have done it without their support.
A big thank you to everyone involved!

How we supported Inspiring Girls Espania through partnership and sport
When logistics real estate meets sport - and charity wins every time.
On March 26th, our 9,200 sqm unit in Alcalá la Garena, Madrid turned into something unexpected: an arena.
For the 2nd edition of the Logicor Volleyball Tournament, we welcomed over 70 professionals ready to compete, connect, and make an impact.
Here's how the day unfolded:
Logistics Showcase - Because before the games began, business came first.
The Tournament - 8 teams, zero mercy, maximum energy. Coached by professional volleyball trainers.
Champions crowned - Huge congratulations to Colliers, who took home the first-place trophy.
The real win of the day - A €5,000 donation to Inspiring Girls España, an association dedicated to empowering young girls through female role models. Because what we build should go beyond square metres.
Networking & buffet - The perfect ending to a day that proved: the best deals start with the right relationships.
Thank you to every broker and team player who made this possible. See you at the next edition!!

Logicor España and the Azuqueca de Henares City Council at the Municipal Bird Sanctuary
Taking our commitment to the environment a step further, we’ve joined forces with the City Council of Azuqueca de Henares (province of Guadalajara, Spain) on a lake restoration project at the Azuqueca de Henares Municipal Bird Sanctuary, supporting local biodiversity and improving the quality of the ecosystem.
The Sanctuary is located in an area close to Miralcampo 2, our 37,000 sqm logistic asset.
With the collaboration of a selected group of brokers we sponsored and helped to create 10 artificial islands in the El Chorlitejo lake, within the Azuqueca de Henares Bird Sanctuary, to provide a refuge for a variety of bird species and play a key role in purifying the water and improving the quality of the ecosystem in the area.
Miguel Óscar Aparicio, Mayor of Azuqueca de Henares; Rodrigo Vasco Blas, Councilor for Sustainable Development and Logicor team in Spain, presented this partnership.
This project underscores Logicor's commitment to the environment and reflects its ongoing efforts to create a more sustainable environment and more engagement, support to the local community and strength the relationship with brokers.

Launch of charity project for Unoentrecienmil
In early 2023, Logicor’s Spanish team was invited to the launch of a charity project that we have been sponsoring since 2019.
The NGO Unoentrecienmil (one in one hundred thousand) finances research projects which look for a cure for childhood leukaemia, the most common cancer in children.
One of the research projects they financed proved that physical exercise can help children with cancer get better, faster. The project is called “Aceleradora” which means Accelerator, as it aims to accelerate the cure of cancer through exercise.
We are proud to have contributed to this project by sponsoring the development of a unit for physical exercise in the oncology department at La Paz Hospital in Madrid. This is the first non-pharmacological therapy unit for children with cancer that combines scientific research with precision physical exercise. This model can also be replicated in any hospital.
The event itself began with speeches by senior members of staff in the hospital, researchers, and the founder of Unoentrecienmil, José Carnero. During the conference, they explained what the project was, and the health benefits it would bring. The event was also attended by personalities from the world of sport and Spanish cinema.
After the conference, some children from the hospital took us to visit the Accelerator, which was inspiring to see.
Italy
Continuing our charity and community work in Milan
The team in Italy sponsored a project at a local school in Milan to help raise awareness of social withdrawal in teenagers. As part of our community and charity work, which focuses on supporting youth in our local communities, we worked with The Onlus Hikikomori Social Cooperative who introduced us to the project and helped us create this fantastic partnership.
The Onlus Hikikomori Social Cooperative studies, analyses, and works on therapy treatments of new pathological addictions (like the internet, gambling, video games, online trading, and compulsive shopping).
The name of the organisation derives from Hikikomori, a Japanese term describing people considered recluses who withdraw from all social contact and often don’t leave their houses for years at a time. The internet can become their only form of communication and they can be at high-risk of having one of these new addictions. This subject is something the students and families at the school had shown concerns about, especially after the pandemic, and were eager to find out more.
The project was made up of awareness sessions run by psychologists and counsellors and overall, approximately 200 students took part. The aim was to bring attention to these new addictions; show how video game companies and social media use strategies to get people to stay on their platform; improve wellbeing; and recognise the signs of social withdrawal. The teachers and parents of the school were also invited to attend their own session so they could learn how to recognise withdrawal in their children/students; be aware of the potential issues with technology and give advice on how to help the teenagers (for example, by setting limits on the amount of time they spend on the internet).
Overall, there was positive feedback from the students as well as the teachers and parents who took part. They commented that they felt they now had the tools to recognise when spending too much time alone on the internet or playing video games could turn into a problem and that the sessions had enabled them to notice signs of addiction.
The Italian team continue their ongoing relationship with The Onlus Hikikomori Social Cooperative to discuss other potential projects in the future.
Spending time on the internet can be an escape from reality that can become an addiction, so it is essential that students have a support network that starts with family, friends, and school.
We are proud to have supported the Gadda Rosselli Comprehensive school, so thank you to everyone who has been involved.

A smile. A conversation. A pancake. And a lot of heart.
What started as an ordinary Tuesday turned into a day of genuine connection.
Our Logicor team spent the day at a senior residence, not just to support, but to truly engage. Together with the residents, we created a shared experience built on small moments that added up to something much bigger.
We prepared food side by side – peeling asparagus and potatoes, setting up a pancake and ice cream station, and organizing a large buffet filled with fresh dishes. We grilled together, went grocery shopping, and took walks. But beyond the activities, it was the conversations that defined the day: listening to life stories, sharing perspectives, and simply being present.
Everything – from the ingredients to the time and effort invested – was contributed by our team. Yet what we received in return far exceeded anything we gave. There was warmth, openness, and a level of human connection that rarely fits into a schedule.
For us, social engagement is not about ticking a box. It is about showing up with intention, creating space for real interaction, and reminding people that they are seen, heard, and not alone.
This day was a powerful reminder of how meaningful even the simplest gestures can be. It reinforced what matters most: empathy, attention, and the willingness to connect.
Our sincere thanks go to everyone involved – for your time, your trust, and for making this day truly special.
