Our world is changing – day by day and at breathtaking speed. Digitization in our everyday lives has accelerated the speed of change even more. Resolutely facing these many new challenges requires courage: courage to leave tried and tested paths, grasp opportunities, overcome obstacles and break down boundaries.

This magazine shows people who have demonstrated such courage in the past year.

Five stories portray men and women who, through their contribution, have given new impetus to society, made progress possible or used their own capabilities to the full. Our magazine also shows what courage means for a company such as TÜV SÜD: for example, always redefining and enhancing existing services using innovative technologies while not compromising levels of quality and reliability.

By ensuring more certainty in today’s and tomorrow’s world, TÜV SÜD is also an enabler of courage. This magazine also tells about this: you can only be courageous when you can rely on your own capabilities and be assured that you are safe. TÜV SÜD provides this encouragement – true to this magazine’s theme.

Our customers can rely on this.
