Envisaging a better working world — sustainability in everything we do.

Our strenghts.

Crisp insights. Strategic advisory. International networks.

DINE is the international expert that understands local needs.

As an independent professional services provider, we believe that complexity should not be a barrier to opportunity. We are dedicated to enabling businesses to venture further in the international stage. We do this by providing specialised, complimentary business-critical financial and administrative services that help our clients to operate in different geographic locations.

Our sustainable development goals — aside from differentiation and helping our clients disrupt international markets.

Business will play a crucial role in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

In 2015, 193 member states of the United Nations adopted 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim of ending poverty, fighting inequality and injustice, and tackling climate change by 2030.

The SDGs cover broad challenges such as economic inclusion, diminishing natural resources, geopolitical instability, environmental degradation and the impacts of climate change. Business, academia and nonprofit organisations globally played a part in their development.

Many companies also have been working to address environmental, social and economic issues. They recognise that they can address complex sustainability challenges only by scaling up their efforts and collaborating with peers, industry and sector bodies, customers, governments, non-profit organisations, and society in general.

The SDGs provide a visionary framework. Business is likely to play a major role in meeting them and will have a lot to gain in the process.

At Formpipe, I hired him to explore international market expansion opportunities south of Denmark and he managed to develop sustainable reseller channels across Germany and in France.

Having worked internationally for many years, his business mindset is truly European and he understands the fundamental issues at play in markets such as D-A-CH,  France and the Benelux. With Rasmus’ extensive business network, linguistic proficiency, trustworthiness, energy and drive, any Scandinavian company can short-cut their entry into foreign exports markets”.
