In my experience it’s a bit more nuanced than that.
My experience is that IT and finance people simply have a very difficult time communicating with each other properly. They are different type of people and speak different languages.
A CFO will be very open to invest if he’s convinced that there is a clear return on invest. Many IT folks don’t want to bothered thinking from that perspective.
If you want to have an easy life learn how to speak with your board, especially the CFO.
PS: that’s one of the core reasons some IT guys get management consultants to do the translation job.

Let me propose it this way, how much do you think the company should spend on responsible waste disposal? 10 dollars? 10 thousand dollars? 10 million dollars? 10 billion dollars? Why do you pick the number you did? What is the benefit to the company of making the investment? Those answers should be the start of the conversation on whether to make the investment.
