Redaptive Partners With UniFirst to Modernize Energy Infrastructure Across Facilities

Multi-phase program projected to eliminate over 21,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions

DENVER, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Redaptive, the pioneer of infrastructure monetization, today announced the successful completion of the first phase of a multi-site energy modernization program with UniFirst Corporation (NYSE: UNF), across 39 facilities throughout the U.S. Through this collaboration, Redaptive provided upfront capital and turnkey project management for LED installations. The companies are currently evaluating additional opportunities for energy modernization.

"UniFirst is setting an example for how enterprises can modernize outdated infrastructure while achieving business goals," said Arvin Vohra, CEO, Redaptive. "Our strategic partnership highlights the potential of scalable solutions across large facility footprints, helping organizations achieve significant energy savings and carbon reductions while preserving capital."

The first phase of the project focused on LED lighting installations across 39 UniFirst operations, covering more than 2.5 million square feet of facility space. These upgrades modernized existing lighting systems and significantly improved energy efficiency, providing bottom-line financial benefit.

The total infrastructure upgrades are projected to save UniFirst several million dollars in energy costs while avoiding more than 21,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions over 10 years — comparable to eliminating nearly 50,000 barrels of oil consumption or matching the annual carbon output of 4,157 residential homes.

"Partnering with Redaptive allows us to strategically improve our operational infrastructure," said Matt Croatti, Senior Vice President, UniFirst. "This collaboration strengthens operational efficiency, reduces costs, and helps us advance our business objectives, creating long-term value for our customers, employee Team Partners, and UniFirst shareholders."
