CFO of Deltrian

Solutions to move forward, despite challenging economic circumstances

For Aurian de Briey, the key was thinking outside the box – by opting for a leasing solution, for example. This model is ideal for implementing ambitious projects without sacrificing growth, profitability or cash. Because there’s a lot of talk about CSR, but not so much about how to finance transition projects.

Deltrian: committed to cleaner air

Based in Fleurus in French-speaking Belgium, Deltrian International has established itself over the past few decades as a leading player in the air filtration sector, thanks to a combination of technological innovation and environmental commitment.

  • Their objective: to ensure the highest possible quality of air by using state-of-the-art solutions. 

But Deltrian didn’t stop there. Aware of its responsibility to society, the company decided to make a strategic move: to contribute actively to the energy transition and reducing its carbon footprint.

A twofold challenge

Amid strong growth and intense environmental pressure, Deltrian decided to continue its expansion while launching a major energy project. 

Thanks to Econocom, the company was able to implement the project without jeopardising its other strategic investments.

The action plan included:

700 solar panels

installed on the roof of the company headquarters

70 existing panels

included in a maintenance contract


 

7 charging stations

for electric vehicles installed


 

Cabling

and compliance for the client’s premises

Implementation

of a centralised energy monitoring system

An innovative financial solution



To preserve its cash flow, Deltrian opted for a flexible operating lease tailored to its needs.
This solution enabled it to stagger payments while benefiting from maintenance, guaranteed production and a bespoke contract. 

Result: 
No upfront cash outlay and a practically self-funding project thanks to the energy savings made.

Although there’s no return on investment until the 8th year, the environmental benefits are immediate. 


 

62%
reduction in CO₂ emissions from day one

And this covers the whole lifecycle of the installations, from sourcing the raw materials to the final installation. 
This figure is a testament to the efficiency of the project and the suitability of the financing model chosen.

Tracking to boost progress

Deltrian now has an advanced energy monitoring dashboard, enabling it to track the performance of the equipment in real time and identify new areas for optimisation. 

Impact on cash

Profitability of the project

Reducing carbon footprint

Econocom’s key role

Econocom was more than just a supplier: it acted as a facilitator for the project, coordinating suppliers, drawing up the legal contract and ensuring effective centralisation based on a “plug-and-play" approach.

Timing

Thanks to this approach, Deltrian was able to complete a complex project in just a few months, proving that efficiency can be compatible with sustainability.

An inspiring model for other companies

For Deltrian, this project confirmed its belief that sustainability isn’t a cost, it’s an investment. Aurian de Briey, CFO, stresses that companies shouldn’t rule out rolling out green projects just because they’re not immediately profitable. With innovative financing solutions like leasing, you can combine growth, profitability and sustainability.
