Empowering Businesses Through Eco-Friendly Financing
In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, companies worldwide are seeking financial solutions that align with sustainable practices. The launch of this groundbreaking framework represents a significant stride in making green financing accessible and impactful.
Pioneering Collaboration for Environmental Progress
This transformative initiative was crafted through a strategic alliance between PEAC Solutions, a prominent asset finance provider, and the Carbon Trust, a renowned global climate consultancy. Together, they have devised a robust framework enabling clients to invest in assets pivotal to reducing carbon footprints and promoting sustainability.
Among the eligible assets under this framework are advanced clean transportation systems, energy-efficient industrial equipment, state-of-the-art recycling facilities, and technologies fostering pollution control and the circular economy. These investments not only support business growth but also contribute significantly to global environmental preservation efforts.
A Commitment to Sustainable Excellence
Steve Bolton, Managing Director of PEAC Solutions, expressed pride in this collaborative achievement. He emphasized the company's dedication to addressing pressing environmental issues by offering financial products that drive positive change. By funding assets confirmed to have a beneficial environmental impact, PEAC empowers its clientele to reach dual goals—business success and environmental stewardship.
With operations spanning the UK, Europe, and the US, PEAC Solutions ranks among the top ten lessors in the UK. Their comprehensive financial services cater to equipment manufacturers, dealers, and direct customers across diverse industries and asset categories. As of July 2024, PEAC’s global lease portfolio surpassed $5.4 billion (£3.99 billion), underscoring their substantial influence in the financial landscape.
Alignment with Global Standards for Sustainable Finance
Toby Kwan, Senior Manager at the Carbon Trust, highlighted the importance of green asset finance in fostering sustainable development. The newly established framework adheres to esteemed market standards such as the EU Taxonomy, Climate Bonds Standard, and ICMA Green Loan Principles. This alignment ensures that PEAC can evaluate and mobilize capital effectively, contributing to a future defined by sustainability and environmental accountability.
The integration of these principles enables PEAC to offer financing options that resonate with the evolving needs of modern businesses striving for eco-conscious growth. It positions them at the forefront of financial innovation while reinforcing their commitment to ethical investment practices.
Expanding Leadership and Partnerships
Building on this momentum, PEAC Solutions appointed Eileen Schoonmaker as President of the Americas, effective from June 16, 2025. This strategic move aims to strengthen their presence and leadership within the American market, furthering their mission of sustainable finance.
Simultaneously, PEAC partnered with Crane Payment Innovations (CPI), part of the Crane NXT group, to introduce rental schemes tailored for CPI’s convenience services. Such collaborations exemplify PEAC’s proactive approach in expanding their service offerings while maintaining a focus on sustainability and customer satisfaction.
