Greens Ghana Secures EDGE certification
The Greens Ghana has secured the edge (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
This recognition positions The Greens as one of the first fully EDGE-certified residential communities in Ghana and a frontrunner in environmentally conscious real estate development across West Africa.
EDGE is a globally recognised green building standard that quantifies resource efficiency in energy, water and materials.
A release issued by the company said the certification validates The Greens Ghana’s commitment to sustainable design, construction and long-term value creation.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Greens Ghana, Kiran Daswani, said the certification marked a major milestone not just for The Greens, but for Ghana’s real estate sector.
“We’re proud to offer future-ready homes that prove sustainability and affordability can coexist—and that responsible building is good business,” he said.
The release said The Greens Ghana incorporates efficiencies, including 20 per cent energy savings through passive solar architecture and energy-efficient appliances, 30–40 per cent water savings using low-flow plumbing fixtures and drought-tolerant landscaping and reduced carbon footprint by prioritising locally sourced, low-impact construction materials.
It said as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing and climate-conscious development become priorities for global and diaspora investors alike, The Greens was meeting the demand for quality housing that is both future-proof and finance-friendly.
It said the certification also aligns with Ghana’s broader climate resilience goals and the global push toward net-zero development practices.
“The project’s next phase, already underway, will continue to follow EDGE standards as The Greens scales its model to meet rising housing demand.
By championing sustainable innovation in residential real estate, The Greens is creating long-term value for homeowners, institutional investors and the environment,” it said.
