Agility Logistics Park in Ghana Awarded EDGE Advanced Green Building Status

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.”
