Describe your business model (including type of company, products / services)

DEKRA was originally founded in 1925 to ensure road safety through vehicle inspection. With a much wider scope today, DEKRA SE (in the following “DEKRA”) is the world’s largest independent non-listed expert organization in the testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) sector. As a global provider of comprehensive services and solutions, we help our customers improve their safety, security, and sustainability outcomes. In 2022, DEKRA generated sales totaling nearly EUR 3.8 billion. The company currently employs almost 49,000 people who offer qualified and independent expert services in approximately 60 countries on five continents.
The vision for the Company’s centenary in 2025 is that DEKRA will be the global partner for a safe, secure, and sustainable world.
DEKRA offers its comprehensive service portfolio in six different regions of the world – AMERICAS, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Central East Europe & Middle East (CEEME), GSA (Germany, Switzerland, Austria), North-West Europe and South-West Europe.
DEKRA has seven different Service Divisions – Vehicle Inspection, Claims & Expertise, Digital & Product Solutions, Industrial Inspection, Advisory & Training Services, Audit and Temp Work. The Company’s portfolio of safety, security and sustainability services ranges from vehicle inspections and expert reports for damage claim settlements, industrial and building inspections, safety advisory services, product or system testing and certification, all the way through to training and temporary work.
Strategic priority setting is concentrating on five focus areas, which represent significant growth fields. For each growth field there is one so called Corporate Focus Area (CFA). These are relevant for all Regions and all Service Divisions and connect those as cross-divisional and -regional functions.

Across the CFAs of Artificial Intelligence & Advanced Analytics, Future Vehicles & Mobility Services, Remote Services, Information & Cyber Security Services, and Sustainability Services, we will both improve our existing offering and develop new services, especially digital ones.

For more information please see Financial Report 2022 p. 5.
