DEKRA is managing to successfully withstand the economic and political upheaval

in the crisis-ridden year 2022. The global expert organization expects to

achieve sales of almost 3.7 billion euros this year, an increase of about 5%.

"Thanks to our strong market position and the ongoing trend for greater safety,

security, and sustainability, we remain on our growth target," said Stan

Zurkiewicz, who has been DEKRA CEO and Chairman of the Management Board since

April 2022. The focus is on leveraging opportunities for growth in areas with

great potential going forward, such as future mobility, cyber security, and

sustainability. For the DEKRA boss, one particular area of interest will be the

creation of a hydrogen economy. "If we want to accelerate the transition

towards a hydrogen-based future, we will need to step up investments in

hydrogen infrastructure and establish a comprehensive regulatory framework to

assure safe adoption of the technology," explains Zurkiewicz. "Then green

hydrogen will be able to play a key role in combating climate change thanks to

its wide range of potential applications." The DEKRA CEO is also aiming to

realize the digital transformation of DEKRA's service portfolio, all while

ensuring customers' needs are placed front and center. This is how the expert

organization will become the global partner for a safe, secure, and sustainable

world.
