Resource Innovations Highlights Bold Progress Across Key Pillars in 2024 Impact Report

San Francisco, CA (July 22, 2025) – Resource Innovations (RI), a leading tech-enabled services company focused on energy efficiency and sustainability, today announced the release of its 2024 Impact Report, showcasing a year of meaningful progress in delivering climate solutions at scale and accelerating innovation and equity across the energy sector.
This year’s report is built around the theme “Programs that transform. People who lead,” spotlighting the real people driving measurable progress across the company. From utility call center roles to policy advisory teams, every job at RI is viewed as an impact job—one that contributes meaningfully to the clean energy transition. And every program represents the mission-driven values of the people behind it.
“2024 was a transformational year for Resource Innovations," said Lauren Casentini, CEO and Founder. "From joining the Morgan Stanley Capital Partners portfolio to welcoming Cadeo to the RI family, we sharpened our expertise, expanded our reach, and amplified our impact. And at the heart of this momentum is our team—dedicated professionals who lead with purpose and integrity every day.”
Innovation in Action
Highlights from the 2024 Impact Report include:
- 823,800 metric tons of carbon avoided in 2024—an impact 1,500 times greater than our own operational emissions
- $710 million in customer energy rebates delivered across the nation
- Acquisition of Cadeo, a clean energy consulting firm that focused on transforming the way energy is used, generated, and managed
- Strategic investment by Morgan Stanley Capital Partners, positioning RI for long-term growth and scaled impact
Every Job is an Impact Job
RI’s impact extends beyond metrics—it’s embedded in the daily work of every team member. From engineers to analysts, recruiters to customer service representatives, the company empowers its staff with the mindset that “every job is an impact job.” A new how-to guide featured in the report outlines ways each role contributes to ESG outcomes and the clean energy transition.
“Whether you’re troubleshooting with a customer or building next-gen tools, your work is part of a larger movement,” said Laura Kimes, Head of Impact & ESG. “It’s the small, intentional choices—made day by day—that drive real transformation.”
Scaling with Purpose
In 2024, RI grew to 833 employees, with women representing 50% of the workforce and 28% identifying as ethnically diverse. RI delivered over $710 million in rebates to customers nationwide, while its programs helped avoid emissions equivalent to:
- The electricity use of 171,000 homes
- The carbon absorbed by 13.6 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years
- The annual output of 246 wind turbines
“Growth is not just a goal—it’s a responsibility that allows us to extend innovative climate and equity solutions farther, faster,” said Shaun Dentice, Chief Revenue Officer. “And that’s how we lead in this market—by turning strategic growth into measurable progress for people and the planet.”
