MHP honored for best team performance in two categories

• Management and IT consultancy MHP wins two awards at the automotiveIT Congress 2025
• In the Business Impact category, MHP impressed with CO₂mpanion, a tool for calculating, forecasting, and controlling emissions
• MHP also received an award in the Culture category together with Porsche

Ludwigsburg – The management and IT consultancy MHP received the prestigious IT Team Award for outstanding team performance in the categories “Business Impact” and “Culture” at the automotiveIT Congress 2025 in Berlin on September 18. The awards are voted for by readers of the trade journal automotiveIT, who recognize pioneering and innovative projects at the interface between the ICT and automotive industries. The award ceremony took place for the third time.

“Two awards, two categories, one clear message: At MHP, we stand for uncompromising quality, performance, innovation, and partnership-based collaboration with our clients. Our teams have proven that we don't just keep up – we set the benchmarks. With CO₂mpanion, we show how technology and intelligence merge in a tool that masters complexity and empowers companies to take responsibility. And with our driver assistance project, we prove that collaboration and partnership in large, complex programs is not only possible, but the key to success. Over 300 people, one goal, one common rhythm. We are not spectators of transformation, we are its creators," says Federico Magno, Group CEO of MHP, congratulating the teams.

Double award: How teamwork inspires

In the Business Impact category, our colleagues at MHP impressed with their cloud-based solution CO₂mpanion. This is an intelligent, scalable, and scenario-based approach to CO₂ management that reduces the annual effort required for emissions accounting, forecasting, and action management. The modular system automatically collects emissions data from existing company systems and evaluates it in a calculation module according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This results in precise carbon footprint calculations at all KPI levels, which are supplemented by forecasts based on real scenarios such as production volumes. With this, MHP is setting a milestone in overcoming complex challenges and implementing transition plans that are compatible with the 1.5-degree target.

Anke Höller, Partner Transformation Advisory, and Daniel Giangrande, Associated Partner Product, both MHP, agree: "Teamwork begins where trust grows and common goals unite. With CO₂mpanion, we have succeeded in combining technical methodology and technological implementation in one product together with Porsche. We are providing companies with a tool that makes emissions transparent, reduces complexity, and is scalable for the future. This award shows that clients focus, innovation, and sustainability can be successfully combined – and that makes us incredibly proud."

In addition to the award in the Business Impact category, MHP and Porsche jointly received the IT Team Award in the Culture category. The colleagues submitted a driver assistance project for agile coaching in the context of automated driving and parking according to Level 2++. The project supports a highly complex ADAS development program with over 300 team members and strengthens collaboration through digital processes, agile structures, and data-driven transparency. The aim was to combine the different logics of software and hardware development in a meaningful way, break down silos, and sustainably improve collaboration between more than 25 teams, suppliers, and partners.

Key successes include the automation of the feature release plan via Jira and Power BI, and the establishment of efficient planning and synchronization formats. The award-winning driver assistance project is a prime example of trust, responsibility, and cross-departmental collaboration – across locations, time zones, and company boundaries. This is a distinctive step that shows how complex challenges can be overcome together and how sustainable change can be shaped.

Florian Strauß, Partner People & Culture at MHP: „The award confirms how important a lived culture is for the success of projects. Together with Porsche, we were able to show what can be achieved through partnership-based cooperation.“

The awards ceremony was all about partnerships and the strength of teams

The automotiveIT Congress and the IT Team Awards ceremony were once again dominated by strategic partnerships and joint successes. Partnerships are becoming a decisive factor for success, particularly in the automotive transformation. Companies are striving for technology transfer, innovation, and new markets.

In addition, regional partnerships are becoming increasingly important in light of geopolitical tensions. This is also confirmed by the recently published MHP study “The Power of Partnerships.” Already today, 52 percent of companies in the European automotive industry rate old and new partnerships as ‘important’ or “absolutely important” for their future viability. In addition, most OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers expect the relevance of partnerships to increase by more than 25 percent over the next three years.
