BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions has announced a partnership with Eaton, the intelligent power management company, to offer tailored finance solutions to help business owners accelerate their energy transition while preserving cashflow.
In an era of elevated energy prices, business owners are looking at ways to reduce energy costs and ensure business continuity. Energy storage, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and EV charging infrastructure can help them to achieve these goals.
The solution developed by Eaton and BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions offers cashflow-friendly payment plans for infrastructure and equipment, and also integrates access to Eaton’s global service network.
Pascale Favre, Head of the Technology Lifecycle Solutions business line at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions said: “Eaton’s approach is in line with our aim to support the transition to a net zero economy which is at the very heart of our GTS 2025 Plan. This is why we are looking forward to accompanying Eaton and its customers to invest in sustainable infrastructure and equipment.”
