Agility has strengthened its sustainability credentials after its logistics park in Tema, Ghana received EDGE Advanced certification, recognising high standards in energy- and resource-efficient building design.
The certification, awarded under the global EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) system overseen by the International Finance Corporation, confirms that the facility meets strict benchmarks for reducing energy use, water consumption and carbon emissions in construction materials.
The Ghana site, operated under Agility Logistics Parks, is a 160,000 square metre warehouse complex located in the Tema Free Zone near the port and capital Accra. All five warehouses within the site have now achieved EDGE Advanced status.
According to certification data, the facility delivers average energy savings of 68%, water savings of 38%, and uses construction materials with 63% lower embodied carbon compared with conventional buildings.
Agility said the recognition reflects its strategy of developing environmentally efficient industrial infrastructure across Africa. The Ghana certification becomes the 17th EDGE Advanced facility within its global logistics park portfolio.
The company operates large-scale logistics infrastructure across multiple African markets, including facilities in Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Nigeria and Egypt, aimed at supporting warehousing, distribution, e-commerce and light manufacturing activities.
Agility Africa leadership said the development of certified green warehouses is intended to reduce operating costs for tenants while helping businesses meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets.
The company added that its logistics parks are designed as secure, modern industrial hubs that reduce barriers to entry for companies expanding into African markets by lowering upfront capital investment needs.
The IFC said the Ghana project highlights growing momentum for sustainable industrial development in West Africa and the role of private investment in improving infrastructure efficiency.
