The expert organization DEKRA is also consistently expanding its own innovative portfolio of sustainability-related services to support customers with advanced solutions in the field of sustainability: for example, sustainability consulting and training, product sustainability, certifications, audits, carbon footprinting, supply chain sustainability, sustainability standards in sports, as well as numerous other independent services.
