CO2 footprint
Sustainability as a driver of success: Responsibility, Customer Focus, and Inner Drive

Social Responsibility
Sustainability has become more than just a trend – it’s a responsibility we share with society and our employees. Companies that don’t fully embrace sustainable values increasingly struggle to attract talent and build a strong, credible reputation.

Customer Expectations
Understanding and aligning with the strategies of our customers is essential for us. It’s how we create lasting partnerships built on trust, shared goals, and long-term success.

Intrinsic Motivation
"Performance is a mindset" – this belief runs through every part of our company. From pioneering lightweight design to responsible business practices, we are driven by the idea of shaping a more resource-efficient and sustainable future.

Regulatory Requirements
Transparent CO₂ management across the entire value chain isn’t just a legal obligation – for us, it’s part of taking ownership in the transformation toward a climate-conscious industry.

Milestones of Our Sustainability Strategy

We have set out to take action for climate protection.

Based on a CO₂ footprint assessment conducted in accordance with the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol prepared by Fokus Zukunft, CP Tech GmbH offsets its unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing high-quality climate protection certificates.

Sustainability & Performance

Sustainability, High Performance, CP Tech – it’s a match!

Global mobility is undergoing a dynamic transformation. New propulsion systems and energy sources are being developed in parallel – hydrogen, electric drives, synthetic fuels. Only when these solutions are brought together in a smart and coordinated way can they truly serve as a comprehensive alternative to fossil fuels.

And one thing is certain: No matter the concept – the biggest challenge will always be weight reduction. That’s the only way to reduce consumption and increase range.

The industry has been working on this challenge for years – and that’s exactly why sustainability, high performance, and CP Tech are such a perfect match.

Project NeMo.bil – Swarm Technology & Lightweight Design

NeMo.bil combines sustainable, demand-driven, and automated passenger and goods transport in rural areas.

As an innovation driver, we are proud to contribute our extensive expertise as a partner of the Initiative Neue Mobilität Paderborn e.V. – especially in the areas of interface management, system integration, and prototype vehicle construction.

CPDUR® in cooperation with BENTELER

Thanks to our close collaboration with our partner BENTELER, we offer seamless drawn tubes with a significantly reduced CO₂ footprint.
By using steel that generates up to 70% fewer CO₂ emissions compared to the conventional primary production route, we are setting new standards in sustainability.

Ambitious Sustainability Requirements

Components and materials must withstand the most extreme conditions – over countless cycles and under continuous high stress. New propulsion concepts are setting the benchmark: enhanced battery ranges and hydrogen technologies are showing the direction future mobility is heading.

What once seemed impossible is now reality – made possible through continuous advancement at the highest level of technological expertise.

Innovative Developments for the Future of Mobility

At first glance, hypercars symbolize pure performance – but today, they are also a driving force behind sustainable technologies, advanced materials, and components manufactured with the highest precision.

An increasing number of electric high-performance vehicles in this class achieve acceleration values far beyond what traditional combustion engines could offer.

These extreme conditions serve as a testing ground for technologies that will later find their way into mass production – more efficient, more sustainable, and ready for the mobility of tomorrow.

Expertise in Lightweight Design

For decades, top engineers have been working on high-performance vehicles with one clear goal: to reduce energy consumption sustainably through intelligent weight reduction – for greater efficiency, increased range, and a new dimension of future mobility.

What once began on the racetrack now shapes the technologies of tomorrow.

Strict Rules Drive Advanced Solutions

Regulatory restrictions in motorsport push the development of the best possible solutions – all while aiming to compete with the fastest and most reliable vehicles. Lightweight design has always been a core element in this process.

Technological specifications and tight development constraints challenge engineering teams to extract the absolute maximum from every component.
Anyone striving to shape future mobility in an efficient, fast, and reliable way cannot ignore intelligent solutions – they have always been, and will continue to be, a key to pioneering mobility.
