Epson has announced a new leasing programme aimed at improving access to its technology for corporate and public sector customers, while advancing its environmental initiatives. The programme is being launched in partnership with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, a European equipment financing provider.
The leasing model will cover Epson’s full product portfolio, including business printers, scanners, projectors, retail technologies, industrial printers, and robotic solutions. Customers will be able to lease equipment instead of making up-front purchases, which Epson says can offer financial flexibility and predictable costs.
A key feature of the initiative is that Epson will retain ownership of leased equipment at the end of each contract. Returned products will be refurbished, reused, or recycled, supporting the company’s efforts to reduce waste and manage its environmental impact.
“This approach allows us to manage the full lifecycle of our products more effectively,” said Richard Wells, head of market development at Epson Europe. “By retaining ownership, we can ensure that equipment is disposed of responsibly and materials are reused where possible.”
Epson will work with its network of partners to provide additional services such as maintenance, fleet management, and platform integration. The programme will be supported by an open API to enable compatibility with external management systems.
BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, which is facilitating the financing side of the programme, highlighted the potential for the model to help organisations align their procurement strategies with sustainability goals. “Leasing not only improves access to technology, it also supports responsible resource management,” said Pascale Favre, managing director of the technology and lifecycle solutions division at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions.
