DEKRA is a Sustainability Champion

Expert organization awarded platinum rating

The international expert organization DEKRA is one of the world's top performers when it comes to sustainability. EcoVadis, the leading international standard for sustainability in global supply chains, has awarded DEKRA its highest accolade - a platinum rating. This puts DEKRA in the top 1% of all companies assessed. Remarkably, DEKRA made this leap in 2020, going straight from silver to platinum and skipping gold completely.

EcoVadis honors DEKRA with the highest award Top 1% ranking among the evaluated companies Sustainability Strategy 2025 sets ambitious goals "With our consistent sustainability strategy, we are on a good and successful path. The platinum rating from EcoVadis is an independent confirmation of this," says Wolfgang Linsenmaier, member of the DEKRA Management Board and responsible for sustainability. “As a leading non-listed company in our industry, DEKRA consciously accepts its responsibility for the environment, society and future generations - and backs this up with concrete measures.”«

Compared to its 2019 assessment, DEKRA achieved significant improvements in all four EcoVadis evaluation areas: Environment Labor & Human Rights Ethics Sustainable Procurement This all-around progress places DEKRA among the top 1% of companies in its category according to EcoVadis standards. With over 65,000 companies assessed in more than 160 countries, EcoVadis is one of the world’s most recognized sustainability ratings.
