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.
