Agility has announced that the Agility Logistics Park 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.
ALP Ghana, a 160,000sqm 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.

“This recognition brings direct benefits to our customers, including reduced utility costs, improved operational efficiency, and alignment with their own ESG and sustainability objectives,” stated Charles Gassoub, Vice President, Agility Africa.
“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 goals and long-term economic resilience,” stressed Nathalie Kouassi Akon, IFC’s Ghana Division Director.
“The growing portfolio of Agility warehouse parks delivers an essential part of the fundamental infrastructure required for growth by both global and local businesses,” noted Geoffrey White, CEO, Agility Africa.
