AlatBay Logistics Center, operating within the Alat Free Economic Zone, has successfully completed the design, construction, and audit stages of the EDGE GREEN certification process and has been awarded the EDGE ADVANCED GREEN certificate. EDGE is an innovative methodology implemented by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in the field of green investments.
The Alat Bay Logistics Center currently provides various logistics and warehousing services related to cargo management to local and foreign companies, along with the legal entities of the Alat Free Economic Zone. With the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), international consultants operating in the field of green investment were hired for the design of the Logistics Center, and all works on the project were carried out based on the EDGE GREEN methodology.
As a result of the project implementation, a 41% reduction in energy usage and a 26% decrease in water consumption has been achieved. The said project, that meets this exceptional level of environmental impact, will have a lasting positive effect not only on the project users but also on the environment in the years to come.
It is a success for AlatBay to have achieved the EDGE GREEN standards, especially in this period of anticipation of hosting the prestigious COP-29 event in our country in a few months. AlatBay reaffirms its commitment to continuous innovation and environmental excellence, demonstrating that everyone can contribute to protecting the environment by conserving our natural resources.
