GEODIS, a global logistics operator, in collaboration with Prologis , activated a 619-kilowatt solar installation at Prologis Park Grande, Building 3 in Tepotzotlán, State of Mexico, which aims to generate 892 megawatt-hours of low-carbon energy each year, with the purpose of advancing its journey towards sustainable logistics.
“This solar installation is more than just a technological upgrade; it reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, responsibility, and sustainability,” emphasized Jessica Himmelreich, vice president and director of Sustainability, Occupational Health and Safety, and Dangerous Goods at GEODIS in the Americas.
The rooftop solar project is a strategic step toward reducing GEODIS’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributes to its climate goals, the company emphasized in a statement.
To that end, the company aims to reduce GHG emissions from its fleets and buildings by 42%, in addition to a 25% reduction in the carbon intensity ofoutsourced transportation relative to container shipping, road, and rail operations compared to 2022.
“A solar installation directly supports GEODIS’s goals by reducing Scope 2 emissions (emissions from purchased electricity), assisting with green building certifications, and reducing operational GHG emissions in a scalable manner. The project also supports Prologis’ goal of deploying one gigawatt (GW) of solar power, supported by battery storage, across its global real estate portfolio by 2025,” the logistics company emphasized.
So far in 2025, GEODIS and Prologis have completed three warehouse solar installations, with five additional installations planned for the remainder of the year . The companies’ collaborative work supports their broader sustainability strategy, which includes transitioning to certified sustainable warehouses , improving energy efficiency across their network, and delivering lower-carbon lanes for sustainability-focused customers.
“As a leader in low-carbon energy generation, we are proud to collaborate with GEODIS to support sustainable logistics operations in Mexico and beyond,” said John Hoekstra, Director of Corporate Sustainability and Energy for Europe and LATAM at Prologis.
The installation will also help stabilize energy costs and mitigate exposure to utility rate increases. The system is designed with future scalability in mind, offering potential for battery storage and microgrid integration.
“This solar project is a tangible expression of our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and leadership in the logistics sector,” Himmelreich emphasized, adding that it also marks a significant step toward achieving its Ambition 2027 strategic plan and sustainability goals.
