AKNO Group’s business parks under the banner of sustainability
Introduction to AKNO Group business parks
In the European industrial and logistics panorama, AKNO Group represents a benchmark for innovation and sustainability. With over 50 years’ experience in the design and construction of business parks, the company has been able to anticipate the needs of a constantly evolving market, creating spaces that combine operational efficiency, advanced technologies and a deep respect for the environment. AKNO Group‘s sustainable business parks are more than just industrial areas: they are true interconnected ecosystems, designed to meet the challenges of the future.
Today, the Business Park 4.0 concept is redefining the role of logistics and industrial parks. These spaces are no longer limited to housing production or logistics activities, but are being transformed into integrated platforms where technology, sustainability and mobility come together to generate added value. AKNO Group is leading the way in this transformation, promoting an approach that combines innovation and sustainability to create tailor-made solutions for companies.
The AKNO Group‘s vision is based on three fundamental pillars:
- Environmental sustainability, with a strong commitment to using renewable energy, reducing waste and adopting circular models.
- Advanced technology through intelligent, digitised infrastructures that optimise production and logistics processes.
- Intermodality and sustainable mobility through the design of multimodal hubs integrating green solutions such as electric charging stations and alternative fuels.
This article explores how AKNO Group is redefining the concept of business parks, transforming them into advanced logistics platforms. Together we analyse hybrid logistics-production models, energy circularity, green certifications and the development of multimodal hubs, with a focus on how these innovations create value for companies and the environment.
Logistics-production hybrid models
Hybrid models in business parks
In the context of modern business parks, hybrid logistics-manufacturing models are emerging as an innovative solution to meet the needs of companies increasingly oriented towards efficiency and flexibility. These models integrate value-added production areas within logistics districts, creating an ecosystem in which production and distribution coexist and support each other.
The evolution of logistics and production
Traditionally, logistics parks were conceived as spaces dedicated exclusively to the storage and distribution of goods. However, with the increasing demand for customisation and speed in production processes, a more integrated approach has become necessary. Hybrid models allow companies to bring production and logistics closer together, reducing delivery times and optimising operating costs.
Integration of value-added production areas
One of the key aspects of these models is the possibility of integrating production processes directly within business parks. For example, companies can carry out final assembly, customisation or quality testing directly in logistics warehouses, eliminating intermediate steps and improving supply chain efficiency. This approach not only reduces costs, but also enables greater responsiveness to market demands.
The role of AKNO Group
AKNO Group is at the forefront in adopting these models in its business parks. Thanks to a flexible and modular design, AKNO‘s logistics parks are designed to accommodate both logistics and manufacturing activities, offering companies state-of-the-art infrastructure and spaces designed to adapt to their needs. This integration creates a highly competitive environment that supports companies in their growth.
Energy circulation in AKNO business parks
The energy transition is one of the most important challenges of our time, and next-generation business parks are playing a crucial role in this process. The concept of energy circularity is based on the idea of creating a closed energy system, in which resources are used, recovered and reused, minimising waste and maximising efficiency.
Energy efficiency and use of renewable energy
AKNO Group has integrated the principle of energy circularity into its business parks, through the use of advanced technologies and sustainable solutions. Key initiatives include:
- Photovoltaic systems: the roofs of warehouses and production areas are often equipped with solar panels, which generate clean energy to power the internal infrastructure.
- Energy recovery systems: excess energy produced is stored or redistributed, ensuring optimal utilisation of resources.
- LED lighting: efficient lighting reduces energy consumption without compromising on quality.
Innovation and green certifications
AKNO Group is committed to obtaining high-level environmental certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), which attest to the quality and sustainability of its infrastructure. These certifications not only guarantee compliance with environmental standards, but also increase the value of the buildings and the competitiveness of the companies they house.
Multimodal hubs and sustainable mobility
Sustainable mobility is a key element for the future of business parks, especially in a global context where emission reduction and transport efficiency have become top priorities. Multimodal hubs, designed to integrate different modes of transport (road, rail and sea), are a strategic solution for improving logistics and minimising environmental impact.
Intermodality and transport optimisation
AKNO Group has made intermodality one of the pillars of its business parks. Thanks to their proximity to key infrastructures such as motorways and railway lines, AKNO‘s multimodal hubs enable companies to:
- Reduce transport costs by using cheaper and more sustainable modes such as rail transport.
- Speed up delivery times by optimising the passage of goods between different means of transport.
- Decrease CO2 emissions by favouring the use of green solutions and alternative fuels.
Electric mobility and green infrastructure
To promote sustainable mobility, AKNO Group has integrated dedicated e-mobility infrastructure into its business parks, including:
- Charging stations for electric vehicles, enabling companies and employees to use low-emission vehicles.
- Spaces dedicated to green logistics, with warehouses designed to support electric and hybrid vehicles.
A positive impact for companies and the environment
AKNO Group‘s multimodal hubs not only improve the operational efficiency of companies, but also contribute to a more sustainable logistics ecosystem. They demonstrate how mobility can be turned into a competitive advantage by offering solutions that respect the environment and generate economic value.
Business parks are redefining the future of industrial and logistics infrastructure, becoming true ecosystems where innovation, sustainability and operational efficiency meet. Through the integration of logistics-production hybrid models, the promotion of energy circularity, and the creation of multimodal hubs, companies can benefit from solutions that improve competitiveness and reduce environmental impact.
AKNO Group positions itself as a benchmark in this landscape, offering business parks designed to meet the needs of the present and anticipate those of the future. Thanks to a strategic vision and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, AKNO not only supports the growth of its host companies, but also helps create value for local communities and the environment.
Investing in modern, sustainable infrastructure is not just a strategic choice, but a necessity to meet the global challenges of energy transition and green logistics. AKNO Group‘s business parks represent a model of excellence that can inspire other industries, demonstrating that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand.
