Accra, Ghana – 20 May 2026 – Agility, a multi-business operator and long-term investor in
global and regional businesses, announced that the Agility Logistics Park (ALP) in Tema,
Ghana has received EDGE Advanced certification for its energy- and resource-efficient green
buildings. This brings the total number of EDGE Advanced-certified warehouses across the ALP
network to 17, with certified facilities now present in every country where Agility Logistics Parks
operates.
EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is the global standard for energy-efficient
buildings, a certification system overseen by the International Finance Corp. (IFC), the private
sector arm of the World Bank Group. Advanced EDGE certification requires a building to deliver
a significant reduction in energy use, water use and embodied carbon in materials when
benchmarked against standard local buildings.
ALP Ghana, a 160,000 SQM warehouse park, is located in the Tema Free Zone, adjacent to
Tema port and the Ghana country capital Accra. The park provides international standard
warehouse space to multinationals and local businesses. All five warehouses within the Ghana
ALP have been certified as EDGE Advanced.
ALP’s EDGE Advanced warehouses in Accra provide average energy savings of 68%, water
savings of 38%, and utilise construction materials containing 63% less embodied carbon in
materials, when compared with others in the market.
Charles Gassoub, Vice President – Agility Africa, said: “Achieving the EDGE Certificate
demonstrates our commitment to developing energy- and resource-efficient facilities in line with
global sustainability standards. This brings direct benefits to our customers, including reduced
utility costs, improved operational efficiency, and alignment with their own ESG and
sustainability objectives.”
Nathalie Kouassi Akon, IFC’s Ghana Division Director, also remarked on the achievement,
stating: “The EDGE Advanced certification of Agility Logistics Park in Tema demonstrates the
strong momentum for green buildings in Ghana and the critical role the private sector plays in
driving this transition. By significantly reducing energy and resource use, projects like this not
only lower operating costs for businesses but also contribute to Ghana’s smart development
Official Use Onlygoals and long-term economic resilience. IFC is proud to support partners like Agility in setting
new standards for sustainable, high-quality industrial infrastructure in the region.”
Agility Logistics Parks are secure, connected, 24/7 complexes with international-standard, high-
quality warehouses, designed with advanced engineering and sustainability features. In
addition to the 160,000 SQM park in Ghana, Agility Logistics Parks has a 470,000 SQM park in
Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire; a 320,000 SQM facility in Maputo, Mozambique; a 270,000 SQM park in
Lagos, Nigeria (under development); as well as the 270,000 SQM Yanmu East logistics park in
Cairo, Egypt, part of a joint venture with Hassan Allam Utilities.
Agility Africa CEO Geoffrey White said: “Having each of our warehouse parks in Africa certified
as EDGE Advanced is an integral part of our strategy to develop a network of secure and
efficient warehouse parks across the Continent. The growing portfolio of Agility warehouse
parks delivers an essential part of the fundamental infrastructure required for growth by both
global and local businesses.
Providing international standard ready-built warehouses for companies to lease for storage,
distribution, e-commerce, packaging, processing and light manufacturing makes it easier for
businesses to expand or enter new markets, reducing their capital requirements and time it
takes to market. Agility warehouse parks make African markets more bankable, attractive and
competitive.”
