OUR STORY

A name to inspire and set a beacon for the way ahead.

Our business honours the tenacity, creativity, curiosity, diplomacy, fearlessness, compassion and entrepreneurial spirit of Anthony van Diemen, who started his own business as a young man, who after some challenges, persevered to rise through the ranks of the Dutch East Indies company to become the Governor-General, from 1636 to 1645.

It is important to call out that we know that his first foray into business was not a big success – and in fact, he became bankrupt through some bad advice, at a time where bankruptcy was a stain against your character. It is from this point that we know we need to offer frank and fearless support to people to take steps towards success, but also we are inspired by van Diemen’s drive and determination to reclaim his legacy, through joining the Dutch East Indies company in 1618.

From the moment he landed at Batavia (modern day Jakarta), he was renowned for his attention to detail and proficiency in a range of business skills, quickly rising through the ranks of the company – and he used these new roles to help others around him.

His legacy is more than just funding four voyages of discovery, which include Abel Tasman spotting the wild west coast of Tasmania. He founded an orphanage and a hospital, sustained relations with ports across Asia due to his diplomatic skills that valued the local communities alongside his savvy tactical approach, bought clarity to the way the company ran, stood against injustice when laws were applied in harsh and severe ways, and encouraged those exploring the lands to learn more about the people who inhabited them but to not disrupt them.

And with Anthony van Diemen’s character a key inspiration of everything we do at The van Diemen Project, it is these qualities that drive us forward to explore new opportunities, to seek more knowledge, embrace complexity and to ultimately achieve great things.

We will remain curious in our endeavours, seeking more knowledge and opportunities to support those deliberately setting out to create a positive social impact and introduce positive impact measures into their operations.

Through our various programs and services, we provide support to accomplish this.
