Mission and vision

We are the global partner for a safe, secure, and sustainable world

Safety and security are among the basic human needs and are as essential as the air we breathe. It is extremely important, especially in our highly developed world, that we never take safety and security for granted. As one of the world ’s leading providers of expert services, DEKRA has been working for a safer world since the company was founded in 1925.
With our Expertise we want to give People confidence so that progress can be made in times of constant change. We want to enable individuals, businesses, and society at large so that they can:​
  • move and work in new and safe ways​
  • embrace tech-driven innovation​
  • transform towards sustainable growth
For us safety and security also include acting sustainably to preserve our world for future generations. We have only this one world and we are all responsible for it together.

At DEKRA, we build trust in the technologies and systems that define our lives – with the conviction that mobility must be safe and sustainable, that digital systems must be secure, that climate action must be real.
