With global issues around #climatechange & economic unrest quickly multiplying, old corporate mindsets and ways of working are proving to be a destructive force that cripples societal progress and impacts business. "Leaders are much more aware that running operations that are not environmentally sustainable and safe for the workers is not tolerable. As we look at how companies operate, at dss⁺, we don't shy away from the truth. It is not enough to do well as a business. If you do well, generate profit for the investors, and have a good return on Investment ROI, that is not enough any more, organisations need to do Well and do Good" - Davide Vassallo, dss⁺ CEO 🎧 Listen to the full #podcast here: https://lnkd.in/dYN32Hrk via Inflexion

October 10th marks #WorldMentalHealthDay. The theme for this year is "It is time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace". At dss⁺, we understand that life can be challenging at times and issues with health, family, and work problems can cause worries and anxiety. Our employees have access to a free and confidential Employee Assistance Programme that can provide counselling for #psychological support, practical guidance and support on legal, financial and family matters, as well as online access to health and wellbeing resources.

At a time when consumers are increasingly conscious of the journey their #food takes from farm to fork, Australia’s #agriculture, food, and #beverage industries face a critical juncture. While much attention has been given to food quality and sustainability, there is a growing recognition that the safety and well-being of those who work along this #FoodSupplyChain — from farms to processing plants, packaging, transportation, and warehousing, to restaurants — are equally crucial ... https://lnkd.in/dDksBJTU

September 29th marks the International Day of Awareness of #Food Loss and Waste #FLWDay We share a story from Perú, where we brought technical assistance to enable a local manufacturer build pyrolysis machines to implement circularity, with a focus on valorising by-products through the conversion of biomass waste into #biochar (serving as a soil improver and the primary component of self-made bio-fertilizer) benefiting the cocoa and banana value chains. dss⁺ team built operators’ capacity to manage the pyrolysis machine in the field and taught them how to apply biochar. Ultimately, valuable knowledge on climate-smart agricultural practices, #sustainability, and emissions reduction was transferred to the local operators. #agriculture #cirulareconomy https://lnkd.in/dAgTvF9G

Cost management to secure Australia’s energy industry programs isn’t new to the industry, far from it, yet any success companies have at cutting costs will traditionally erode with time. Our research and experiences indicate that only 10 per cent of cost-reduction programs show sustained results after three years. There is no silver bullet to ensure cost reduction programs stick. To make it meaningful, it is critical to connect the cost reduction program to strategy, conduct an upfront diagnostic, and zero in on the critical few areas and initiatives ...

In 2024, "going global" is undoubtedly a focal topic in the field of corporate development. China’s push to expand its new #energy sector globally is aimed at further enhancing its technological level, with hopes of leading the global trend in new energy and #lowcarbon development. This requires a more long-term and sustainable development strategy, rather than merely focusing on which country's policies and laws can help reduce costs. Davide Vassallo , CEO dss⁺, and Ian Xie, Managing Director dss⁺ China, discuss how Chinese companies can formulate safer, more efficient, and more sustainable strategies for expanding abroad & must first clearly define the purpose of their overseas expansion...
