DLL Wins Leasing Life Energy Transition Financing Programme Award

Eindhoven, The Netherlands - November 24, 2025 - DLL, a global asset finance company for equipment and technology, received the Energy Transition Financing Programme Award at the 22nd Leasing Life Conference and Awards event organized by the Arena International Events Group in Berlin, Germany, on November 20. The receipt of this award from one of Europe’s top leasing industry journals, Leasing Life, underscores DLL’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative and flexible finance solutions for partners and customers globally. 

The Energy Transition Financing Programme Award recognizes lessors who have supported the energy transition through financing more sustainable assets and solutions, such as renewables, electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and eMobility. Judges looked for evidence of program success and uptake, as well as creative approaches to emerging markets.  

DLL accelerates the energy transition by delivering flexible financing solutions across the entire clean energy value chain—from production and infrastructure to efficiency and consumption. A recent global partnership with leading lighting manufacturer Signify illustrates this impact. DLL structured tailored financing programs to accelerate the adoption of advanced LED lighting solutions, and help their customers in adopting lighting products, systems, and services across markets. These solutions can reduce energy costs, lower carbon footprint, and improve operational efficiency—while supporting predictable budgeting and cash flow to reduce energy costs, lower carbon footprint, and improve operational efficiency.
 
The Awards Jury Cited: “The award recognizes an organization that's helping accelerate the shift towards cleaner, more sustainable energy through innovative financing and partnership models. The judges were impressed by this winner's ability to connect finance with impact, supporting businesses to overcome cost barriers and adopting energy efficient technologies at scale. Through collaboration with partners like Signify, they're delivering flexible financing for sustainable lighting and infrastructure projects that cut emissions, reduce energy costs, and improve cash flow. Their value chain approach, spanning production to consumption, shows how finance can truly power the energy transition.”
