Redaptive Partners With UniFirst to Modernize Energy Infrastructure Across Facilities

Major Milestone in Energy Modernization Initiative

Redaptive, a leader in infrastructure monetization, has successfully completed the first phase of a comprehensive energy modernization program in collaboration with UniFirst Corporation (NYSE: UNF). This initiative spans 39 facilities across the United States and aims to significantly enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Details of the Energy Modernization Program

The partnership between Redaptive and UniFirst involved substantial upfront investment and turnkey project management focused on LED lighting installations. The first phase targeted over 2.5 million square feet of facility space, effectively modernizing existing lighting systems for improved performance.

This modernization is anticipated to deliver notable financial advantages for UniFirst, including:

• Cost savings amounting to several million dollars in energy expenses.
• A reduction of over 21,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions over a 10-year period.
• The environmental impact equivalent to eliminating nearly 50,000 barrels of oil consumption.
