The move is expected to help in reducing energy usage at the three stores and decrease emissions by 91.2 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually.

As agreed, Budderfly will provide the capital to install, maintain and monitor the energy efficiency solutions for lighting, HVAC and refrigeration.

Budderfly founder and CEO Al Subbloie said: “We don’t believe businesses should have to spend their own money to go green and save.

“By providing 100% of the capital, managing all of the technology, and guaranteeing the results, Budderfly ensures that our customers enjoy all the benefits with none of the risk and hassle, and we’re excited to do that for Just Salad.”
