Celebrating 160 Years of DNV, Moroccan Style!
As DNV commemorates 160 years of risk management, excellence, innovation, and unwavering commitment to safety, our teams recently gathered in the historic city of Marrakech, Morocco, to mark this momentous occasion. The three-day celebration was a time to honor DNV’s journey, reflect on our values, and connect with colleagues across different regions. This gathering was more than just an anniversary – it was a tribute to the people and principles that drive DNV forward every day: We Care, We Dare, We Share.
Day 1: Welcoming Dinner and 160th Anniversary Cake Cutting
The festivities began with a warm and elegant dinner, set against the backdrop of Marrakech’s unique ambiance. Laughter and conversation filled the room as colleagues connected and shared their experiences. The evening’s highlight was the ceremonial cake cutting, a symbol of DNV’s legacy of trust and excellence. The cake, beautifully adorned with the “160 Years” emblem, served as a reminder of DNV’s history and commitment to shaping a safe, sustainable future.

Day 2: Team Building and Personal Development – A Journey through DNV’s Core Values
The second day was designed to foster unity, growth, and reflection. In the morning, team members embarked on a specially-themed treasure hunt, with each clue tied to DNV’s core values and purpose: to safeguard life, property, and the environment. The treasure they found was a symbolic one, representing the wealth of shared drivers and dedication that have guided DNV for over a century.
The afternoon focused on personal development and introspection. Team members participated in a unique, music-led session where traditional “Oud” melodies set the tone for a reflective, philosophical discussion. This time allowed each participant to reconnect with the values that make DNV special and to consider their personal growth and contributions to the company’s mission.

Day 3: Cultural Exploration in the Historic Medina of Marrakech
The final day took participants on a journey through the vibrant Medina of Marrakech. From narrow, bustling streets to stunning architecture, colleagues explored the cultural heritage and energy of the city. This day was a fitting end to a celebration that bridged the past and future, allowing DNV’s teams to immerse themselves in local culture and strengthening the bonds within their team.
Exploring Marrakech’s Medina was the perfect way to conclude our celebration, connecting with culture and history.
