Agility, a leader in supply chain services, infrastructure and innovation, announced that the warehouse located at the Agility Logistics Park in Riyadh is the first building in Saudi Arabia to receive EDGE Advanced certification as a green building.
EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is the premier global standard for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings, a certification scheme overseen by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), an arm of the World Bank.
Basic certification requires a minimum of 20% reduction in energy use, water use and “embodied energy” in materials measured against a standard domestic building.
Agility has received EDGE Advanced certification for a warehouse located in its 870,000 square meter park in Riyadh. Advanced EDGE buildings are carbon-neutral prefabricated buildings that are at least 40% more energy efficient than other buildings on the market.

“We want to help drive Saudi growth, generate jobs, conserve resources, and be an example for others in sustainability.”
Agility Logistics Parks are secure and connected 24/7 parks with first-class warehouses of international standards and designed with advanced engineering and sustainability features.
