Supporting companies in a process of digitalization and sustainability of their properties. This is the objective of the agreement signed between VINCI Facilities Italia, a Benefit company of the VINCI Energies Italia Group specialized in solutions for optimizing the social and environmental impact of buildings, and BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, leader in Italy and Europe in the financing of capital goods. An agreement, originating from the important relationship already in place with BNL BNP Paribas, which establishes a new collaboration between the two companies in a green key.

The technological proposal of VINCI Facilities and the financing opportunities put in place by the financial company will allow companies to implement solutions for energy efficiency, the production of energy from renewable sources and electric mobility. The new partnership will facilitate the sustainability path of companies by integrating hardware solutions (photovoltaics, electric car columns, heat pumps, LED lighting) with digital elements based on IoT technology that monitor and optimize the performance of the plants with the help of artificial intelligence.

“We are tasked with bridging the gap between intention and action. Encouraging our customers to embark on a path of sustainable development is at the heart of our strategy and we are convinced that technology is a fundamental accelerator. In this case we select physical and digital solutions and offer the possibility to take advantage of specific financing plans.  This opportunity allows to combine, at the same time, technical and financial solutions enabling green investments. From today, we will represent a single interlocutor capable of offering advice both on the design of the plant to be built, and on the financing possibilities to build it”, said Maurizio della Fornace, Business Unit Manager of VINCI Facilities Italia.

The agreement, aimed at professionals and companies of all backgrounds and sizes, aims to achieve the ambitious goal of accompanying buyers towards important sustainability goals. The method is to make different financial products available with solutions that are highly modular and adaptable: these are leasing and operating lease loans, which first of all allows you to choose an asset that meets your needs and, given the periodic duration of contracts, always in line with technological evolution. In addition, they guarantee companies enjoy tax advantages, such as deductibility of rents, VAT splitting, the possibility of accelerated depreciation and compatibility with all state benefits and the PNRR.

Salvatore Guacci, Deputy General Manager of the Technology & Lifecycle Solutions BU of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, underlines: “We offer Vinci Facilities customers the flexibility and convenience of our financial solutions, which are suitable for any professional or company that wants to exploit the most innovative technologies for their structures and, at the same time,  want to make the transition to greener and greener ways.”

This is how an important partnership was signed, which arises from the synergies within the BNP Paribas Group and in particular from the solid relationship between Vinci facilities and BNL, which through its Large Corporate Department has facilitated and subsequently given support to the action. An agreement useful not only to the two companies involved, but also to the customers who will benefit and even the environment, because it will help to ferry more and more companies in the country towards an efficient and sustainable model.
