education professionals as the \u201cgold standard\u201d. The company\u2019s training programs have proven to be effective in improving personal safety and focus on the appropriate responses to high-risk situations. Moreover, they support staff retention and significantly reduce the likelihood of violence in the workplace as well as its seriousness and related costs. Drawing on in-depth knowledge of the relevant regulations at state and federal level, which are constantly changing and expanding in scope, CPI helps its clients to comply with regulatory requirements and to defend themselves in the event of incidents.<\/p>\n<p>CPI\u2019s long-standing financial success is evidence of the quality of services the company offers its clients. CPI\u2019s business model is strengthened by its diverse customer base, a net retention rate of over 100% and the relationships it has built over the past 44 years: CPI&#8217;s top 500 key clients have been customers for at least 20 years. Wendel\u2019s investment in CPI was motivated by the company\u2019s ability to expand this base, and to realize the significant potential for growth in adjacent markets and services. Wendel is supporting CPI management and employees in expanding the scope of their services and creating a global training platform with an even greater impact.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n

preventing and de-escalating crisis situations is increasingly high. CPI services are increasingly in demand due to a greater number of incidents and ever more restrictive regulations introduced by state and federal government. This is particularly true of educational and healthcare establishments which currently represent the bulk of CPI\u2019s sales. This is also increasingly the case in other sectors where violence and trauma in the workplace are commonplace. In addition to continuing these initiatives aimed at expanding in the United States, CPI is also investing in increasing its international presence, which accounted for around 20% of sales in 2024, mainly to clients in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The company is constantly evaluating and improving its training programs and teaching methods. It will continue to suggest improvements, specialized services and new technological solutions over time in order to equip clients who are exposed to varying degrees of risk, enabling them to manage violence at work effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Since January 1, 2026, the monitoring of CPI has been included in the advisory mandate granted to IK Partners.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div\n    data-observer=\"item\"\n    data-animation-type=\"fade\"\n    class=\"module module-slider with-margin-top- no-padding- add-bottom-padding-1\"\n    data-module-image-slider\n>\n        <div class=\"module-content\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"row r-1\">\n                <div class=\"column-11 swiper-arrows\" data-image-slider=\"arrows\">\n                    <div class=\"nav prev button-prev\" data-image-slider=\"prev\">\n                        <svg\n    class=\"arrow-right-icon\"\n    xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n    viewBox=\"0 0 15 16\"\n>\n    <path\n        d=\"M7.375 0l7.601 7.601-7.601 7.602-1.06-1.06 5.89-5.893H0v-1.5h12.003L6.314 1.06 7.375 0z\"\n    \/>\n<\/svg>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"nav next button-next\" data-image-slider=\"next\">\n                        <svg\n    class=\"arrow-right-icon\"\n    xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n    viewBox=\"0 0 15 16\"\n>\n    <path\n        d=\"M7.375 0l7.601 7.601-7.601 7.602-1.06-1.06 5.89-5.893H0v-1.5h12.003L6.314 1.06 7.375 0z\"\n    \/>\n<\/svg>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div\n                    class=\"column-12 swiper-container\"\n                    data-image-slider=\"swiper\"\n                >\n                    <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                    <div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-image-slider=\"item\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.wendelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gettyimages-965461848-scaled.jpg\"\n                                    alt=\"People at conference\"\n                                \/>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-observer=\"item\" data-animation-type=\"fade\" class=\"module module-title with-margin-top- no-padding- add-bottom-padding-\">\n        <div class=\"module-content\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"row r-1\">\n                <div class=\"column-9 title\">\n                    <h2>CPI&#8217;s ESG approach<\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    data-observer=\"item\"\n    data-animation-type=\"fade\"\n    class=\"module module-text with-margin-top- no-padding- add-bottom-padding- is-center-\"\n>\n    <div class=\"module-content\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"row r-1\">\n                <div class=\"column-8\">\n                    <div class=\"text-content\">\n                        <p>CPI is the world leader in training for crisis prevention and de-escalation, verbal intervention, and, if necessary, non-violent physical intervention in the educational, medical and medico-social sectors.
