Message from the Board of Management
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The year 2025 was marked by geopolitical tensions, regulatory uncertainty and rapid technological change. At the same time, the global transformation toward sustainable energy systems, digital technologies and resilient infrastructure continued to reshape entire industries.
In this environment, independent testing, inspection, and certification have never been more critical. They form the foundation for safe technological progress and sustainable economic development.
Against this backdrop, TÜV SÜD delivered another year of solid performance. Revenue exceeded € 3.6 billion and EBIT reached approximately € 216 million. We continued to grow organically, underscoring the resilience of our diversified business model and our strong position in the global Testing, Inspection and Certification market. This performance reinforces our role as a trusted partner for safety, quality and sustainability.
In 2025, we began implementing POWER 2030, our strategy for the coming years. POWER 2030 provides the strategic framework for the next phase of TÜV SÜD’s development.
At its core, POWER 2030 focuses on profitable growth in our core markets, international expansion, and the development of services that support the transformation of industry and society.
To support this strategy, we continued to streamline our global organization and strengthen collaboration across regions and divisions.
Innovation and digital transformation remain central to our long-term competitiveness. A key pillar of this transformation is the largest digitalization program in our company’s history, which will fundamentally modernize our global IT landscape and enable efficient and scalable processes across the organization.
None of this would be possible without the commitment of more than 30,000 employees worldwide. With their expertise and dedication, they help make technologies safer and more reliable every day. We therefore continue to invest in environments that enable them to do their best work. In 2025, this included the opening of our new office building “Algorithmus” in Munich – a sustainable investment in modern working environments designed to foster collaboration and innovation – as well as continued investments in modern laboratories and offices worldwide.
In 2026, as we celebrate the 160th anniversary of TÜV SÜD, we look back with pride on a long tradition of engineering excellence and responsibility.
Our ambition remains unchanged: to shape technological progress responsibly and contribute to a safer and more sustainable future.
Munich, March 27, 2026
