Sustainability at Cepro
At Cepro, sustainability means making responsible choices that contribute to safer workplaces, efficient use of resources and long-term value. We take a practical approach, focusing on improvements that are relevant to our organisation, our products and our customers. As part of the Indutrade Group, we work within a shared sustainability framework focused on people, operations, and products & customers.
Return, reuse and recycle
Used Cepro welding curtains do not have to end up in the regular waste stream. Through our PVC reuse programme, customers can return old curtains directly to Cepro.
Where possible, the original Cepro packaging can be reused for the return shipment. This gives the box an additional purpose and helps avoid unnecessary packaging waste.
After registration, we provide the required return information. Cepro then ensures that the curtains are transferred to a specialised processing partner, where the PVC is prepared for reuse. This keeps valuable raw materials in circulation and offers customers a simple alternative to arranging and paying for disposal themselves.
Safety is at the heart of our business. Our products help protect people against welding light, sparks, spatter, noise and laser radiation. By creating safer and better-organised workplaces, we contribute directly to healthier working environments.
At the same time, we continue to look critically at our own operations. We focus on:
durable, high-quality products with a long service life;
responsible use of materials, energy and packaging;
reducing waste and improving recycling where possible;
efficient transport and internal processes;
working with reliable and responsible suppliers;
continuously improving our products and operations.
A long product lifetime is an important part of our approach. Products that remain safe, functional and reliable for many years do not need to be replaced unnecessarily. Where possible, we also consider efficient material use, replaceable components, repair, reuse and recycling. These principles are also included in Indutrade’s guidelines for products with sustainable added value.
Sustainability is also part of how Cepro is managed. Relevant developments, data, goals and improvement activities are discussed within the organisation and reviewed through the management and board structure. This reflects Indutrade’s decentralised approach, in which each company is responsible for turning the Group’s sustainability ambitions into actions that fit its own activities and market.

For our customers, sustainability means investing in workplace solutions that are safe, reliable and designed for long-term use. Our products help create safer and better-organised working environments while supporting efficient production processes.
We develop flexible and modular solutions that can be adapted when a workplace, production process or layout changes. We focus on:
solutions that protect employees and bystanders;
products that remain functional over a long period;
modular systems that can be adapted or expanded;
replaceable curtains, strips, panels and other components;
efficient use of materials through maintenance and repair;
reducing the need for complete replacement.
A long service life is an important benefit for our customers. Existing installations can often be maintained, updated or adjusted instead of being replaced entirely. This helps reduce unnecessary material use and allows customers to respond more easily to changing requirements.
By combining safety, quality and durability, we develop practical workplace solutions that continue to provide value over time. Sustainability is therefore not an addition to our products, but part of how we design solutions for long-term use.
Responsible business conduct
Our sustainability approach also includes how we work with colleagues, customers, suppliers and other business partners. The Indutrade Code of Conduct provides clear guidelines on health and safety, human rights, environmental responsibility, fair competition and ethical business practices.
All Cepro employees have completed the related e-learning programme and successfully passed the final assessment. This helps ensure that responsible conduct is understood and applied in our daily work.
