  • Commitment to Quality

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Unifirst Corporation

UniFirst is proud to have been named several years in a row to Barron’s list of the “100 most sustainable companies in the United States. Whether it’s the precise uniform processing procedures we follow to help ensure resource conservation and environmental protection, the thoughtful energy-saving practices we use at our more than 260 facilities, the careful fleet maintenance and driving procedures we have in place, the manner in which our ancillary services and products are designed and manufactured, or the uniform and facility service options we provide our customers to help them meet their business and sustainability goals, everything we do consistently takes environmental sustainability into consideration.

In addition, UniFirst is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), and Laundry Environmental Stewardship Program (LaundryESP®). UniFirst is also an ENERGY STAR® and Green Lights Business Partner and offers Green Seal®- and ECOLOGO®-certified products.

As a whole, UniFirst annually contributes several hundred philanthropic organizations on a national and local level. Additionally, through our years of community involvement, UniFirst has developed close relationships with particular organizations with which we remain actively engaged.

Our ongoing efforts have been instrumental in not only securing voluntary local-level support from UniFirst Team Partners, but also bringing to light important overarching social and environmental issues that inspire our corporate executives to do even more. As a part of this effort, UniFirst introduced a new approach to charitable giving by streamlining and centralizing the donation process for all philanthropic efforts companywide. Today, all UniFirst locations wishing to support local charities are asked to submit online requests. This allows UniFirst to provide more to local charities and frees locations from the need to include charitable giving in their budgets. In addition, UniFirst makes or matches all local community donations requested by our hundreds of locations for “Giving Tuesday” each year, the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, which is recognized as a national day of charitable giving.
