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), an arm of the World Bank. Basic EDGE certification requires a minimum projected reduction of 20% energy use, water use and “embodied energy” in materials when benchmarked against a standard local building.
The ALP warehouses in Maputo are the first warehouses in Mozambique to receive EDGE Advanced certification. In addition to the ALP Mozambique warehouses, Agility Logistics Parks warehouses in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire also have earned EDGE Advanced certification.
Agility Logistics Parks – Mozambique received EDGE Advanced certification for the 14,000 SQM Warehouse 1; 9,000 SQM Warehouse 2; and 9,000 SQM Warehouse 3 at its 320,000 SQM Maputo park.
EDGE Advanced buildings are “zero-carbon ready” structures that are at least 40% more energy efficient than others in the market. When compared with others in the market, ALP’s EDGE Advanced warehouses in Maputo provide energy savings of more than 62.7%; water savings of 40%+ and construction materials containing 68%+ less embedded carbon.
Neide Tsenane, Country-Lead for Agility Logistics Parks – Mozambique, said: “The EDGE Advanced certification of our warehouses in Maputo is more than just a milestone for Agility—it’s a clear win for our customers. It reflects our commitment to delivering world-class infrastructure that supports operational efficiency, sustainability, and long-term business growth.
For our existing tenants, it means measurable savings in energy and water costs, reduced environmental impact, and the assurance that they’re operating within facilities built to the highest international standards. For future customers, it’s a unique opportunity to scale their operations in Mozambique in a setting that’s not only reliable and secure but also future-ready and environmentally responsible.”
Tsenane said quality logistics infrastructure attracts FDI, improves efficiency, reduces costs and enables growth, generating jobs and prosperity.
Agility Logistics Parks are secure, connected, 24/7 complexes with Grade A and Grade B, international-standard warehouses designed with advanced engineering and sustainability features. In addition to the 320,000 SQM park in Maputo, Agility Logistics Parks has a 470,000 SQM park in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire; a 160,000 SQM facility in Accra, Ghana; a 270,000 SQM park in Lagos, Nigeria; as well as the 270,000 SQM Yanmu East logistics park in Cairo, Egypt, part of a joint venture with Hassan Allam Utilities.
Tenants at Agility Logistics Parks include international and local businesses in the FMCG, e-commerce, technology, automotive, and natural resource sectors.
Agility Africa CEO Geoffrey White said: “Safe and efficient warehousing is a fundamental requirement for the success of businesses in Africa. The ready-built Agility warehouses permit local companies to grow and develop, while reducing time-to-market and cost for new companies coming to Africa. The growing network of Agility warehouse parks is aligned with the significant opportunities being created by the expanding population, rapid urbanization and burgeoning consumerism in Africa, Initiatives such as the AfCFTA, trade digitization, mobile banking and data access are improving and expanding African trade both regionally and internationally.”
