GEODIS, Prologis Launch Solar Project in Mexico

GEODIS, in collaboration with Prologis, has inaugurated a 619KW rooftop solar installation at Prologis Park Grande Building 3 in Tepotzotlan, State of Mexico. The new system is projected to generate about 892MW/h of low-carbon energy annually, reinforcing GEODIS’ commitment to decarbonizing its operations and supporting customer sustainability goals.

"This solar installation is more than just a technological upgrade — it is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to innovation, responsibility, and sustainability. By investing in renewable energy at our facilities, we are advancing both our corporate climate goals and those of our customers," says Jessica Himmelreich, Vice President, Head of Sustainability, Occupational Safety and Health, and Dangerous Goods in the Americas, GEODIS.

Located in one of Mexico’s most important industrial corridors, the Tepotzotlan installation is designed to help reduce GEODIS’ Scope 2 emissions — those linked to purchased electricity — while enhancing site-level energy resilience. The project supports GEODIS’ broader climate objectives validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which include:

• A 42% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from its own fleets and buildings (Scope 1+2).

• A 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of subcontracted transport operations (Scope 3), including container shipping, road, and rail — benchmarked against 2022 levels.

The installation also aligns with Prologis’ ambitious goal to deploy 1GW of solar energy, supported by battery storage, across its global portfolio by 2025.

"Low-carbon, reliable energy is a critical resource for our 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,” says John Hoekstra, Head of Enterprise Sustainability and Europe and Latin America Energy, Prologis.

The two companies have jointly undertaken several projects in North America focused on renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, and workforce development. So far in 2025, they have completed three warehouse solar installations, with five more scheduled for the rest of the year.

GEODIS’ collaboration with Prologis supports a holistic sustainability strategy that includes transitioning to sustainably certified warehouses such as BREEAM and LEED, upgrading energy efficiency across its global network, and offering lower-carbon logistics solutions for environmentally conscious clients.

The system’s design allows for future scalability, including integration with battery storage and microgrids. “This solar project is a tangible expression of our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and leadership in the logistics sector. It also marks a significant step toward achieving our 2027 Ambition strategic plan and sustainability goals, reflecting our dedication to reducing our environmental footprint and promoting renewable energy solutions,” says Himmelreich.
