Aradei Capital is stepping up its commitment to sustainable development, joining a select group of companies leading the push for greener construction practices. The Moroccan real estate investment firm has officially become one of the EDGE Champions, a global initiative spearheaded by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private-sector arm of the World Bank Group. This move marks a significant step toward reducing the carbon footprint of the commercial real estate sector in Morocco.
Through this new partnership, Aradei Capital and the IFC have created a collaborative framework aimed at advancing environmentally responsible building practices. At the heart of this effort is the promotion of the EDGE certification—short for Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies. Developed by the IFC, this certification tool is designed to improve energy efficiency and optimize resource management in new and existing buildings.
Aradei Capital has laid out a clear roadmap, with ambitious targets stretching through the next decade. It plans to secure its first two EDGE certifications as early as next year, setting the stage to bring 40% of its property portfolio up to EDGE standards within the next five years. By 2035, the company aims to increase that figure to 60%. At the same time, at least 80% of all its new developments will be required to meet the certification criteria.
This strategy is part of a broader shift within Aradei Capital to align long-term real estate growth with meaningful environmental responsibility. The company is signaling not just a commitment to sustainability, but a determination to embed those values deep into the core of its business operations.
