> STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
Together we go further.
We know that the challenges we face are great and we know that with the right teams and alliances, not only will we assume our role, but we will also achieve a better result. That is why DFK International carries out strategic alliances in areas that it considers to be a priority.
Global Connect
In 2018, DFK International entered into an agreement with AGN International, maintaining full autonomy for both entities, benefiting the members of the two organizations by working together to face challenges arising from technological innovations and the consolidation of the market. This alliance, “Global Connect”, was later extended with the entry of the MSI Global Alliance (MSI).
ACCA & DFK International
DFK International signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) to invest in talent in the accounting profession. This MoU translates into objectives such as: attracting new talent in finance and accounting; develop market by sharing advanced practice information; support the development and retention of talent in the business sector.
IVSC Members
DFK International has been admitted as a corporate member of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC). DFK has thus joined a growing network of more than 145 organizations from around the world committed to improving the global valuation profession through international standards and professionalism.
> SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We recognize the role we play in society.
We are inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and believe they are part of a plan to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. The SDGs address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interlinked and, in order not to leave anyone behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030.
We particularly embrace the six goals that we highlighted in the diagram on this slide.
Our teams are also involved in other initiatives such as Carbon Offsetting, Movember and the celebration of International Women's Day.
