Activities & Engagement

Fostering Safety, Culture, and Community

Safety is more than a technical requirement; it is a fundamental human need. We believe that a secure world is built on a foundation of inclusive values and proactive community engagement. From protecting the most vulnerable road users at the grassroots level to fostering a global culture of fairness and neutrality through sports and internal advocacy, we turn our corporate responsibility into tangible social impact.

DEKRA Safety Caps

For over two decades, DEKRA has been committed to protecting the most vulnerable participants in traffic: our children. As part of our annual safety campaign, we have equipped millions of first-graders with our iconic red reflective caps, significantly increasing their visibility to drivers. By combining these caps with our free educational materials, we help ensure that every journey to school is a safe one for every child.

Sponsoring

Our sports partnerships are practical demonstrations of the values we uphold in the business world. By supporting referees—the ultimate neutral experts on the field—and providing technical safety oversight in motorsports, we help ensure that competition remains fair and safe. For us, these platforms are not just about visibility; they are an opportunity to showcase our commitment to impartial expertise and the protection of life in high-pressure environments.

Advancing Standards Through Innovation and Advocacy

To solve the safety challenges of tomorrow, we must act today. DEKRA leverages its independent expertise to drive systemic change at the highest levels of research and policy. By participating in international research projects and collaborating with institutional partners, we help define the global standards and frameworks that ensure progress remains safe, secure, and sustainable.
