Going green is becoming more than an altruistic aspiration to save the planet. A proactive corporate environmental policy is now an essential part of any company’s overall business strategy. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, electricity and water consumption, wastewater output, and chemical and solid waste isn’t just good for the environment. It can reduce operating costs, enable sustainable growth, ensure regulatory compliance, lower risk, build the brand and protect the corporate reputation.
The way you fund that investment is an important element of the overall solution, and should be part of your green strategy from the earliest stages of planning.
By leveraging IBM technology expertise, financial strength, and experience with the implementation of environmental strategies, IBM Global Financing is uniquely qualified to provide IT and facility financing, asset disposal services, working capital and supply chain financing to fund corporate green initiatives—and to help data center owners build green data centers.
We provide a wrapper of funding solutions and asset disposition strategy that include services ranging from simple leases and loans to highly customizable structures that can be tailored for even the most complex project plans, and can cover the entire project’s life cycle, from initial consultation or analysis to upgrades and finally disposition.
By providing a holistic view, we can help alleviate capital constraints, providing you the opportunity to align your up-front costs to your anticipated project benefits.
Financing your entire project includes financing for select facility design and construction, building and structural upgrades, infrastructure equipment, IT hardware, software and consulting services from IBM as well as other vendors.
Before you can optimize your IT infrastructure, the business has to develop a plan to dispose of its older, inefficient, technology. In addition to financing your project, IBM Global Financing can provide asset recovery solutions to help you make that first step towards solving your energy challenges by providing a suite of disposal services for unwanted IT assets including buyback for assets of value, environmentally-compliant disposal for older assets without value, and disk overwrite services to help ensure data security. For special projects that require temporary capacity, unexpected changes in a division or location moves, you have access to late-model used systems with great specifications and performance. Your financing alternatives include solutions that can improve your company’s working capital, increase cash flow and tap into funds to support your green strategy. A variety of solutions ranging from revolving lines of credit to Supply Chain Financing can unlock new sources of cash.
