dss+ is a sustainable operational management consultancy with a mission to help industrial enterprises and public sector companies make their processes more sustainable. Its job is to create a positive impact by leading its customers through the process of adopting more ecological and environmentally friendly practices. The Switzerland-based company operates internationally with a workforce of more than 800. At home, since Sofies SA joined the fold in 2021 it has offices in Lausanne, Zurich and Geneva.
dss+ helps industrial companies optimise their processes and technologies by putting sustainable development at the heart of its solutions. The company provides operational management consultancy services, helping businesses optimise their bottom line, reduce risks, improve their efficiency and create added value for their customers.
To achieve this, dss+ adopts a three-prong approach. Its first step is to draw up a sustainability strategy, working with the customer to set clear objectives and define a roadmap to achieve them that fits the company’s organisational model. Specific indicators are also agreed to monitor whether these objectives are met.
The second part of dss+’s approach covers ESG and sustainable finance. By agreement with the customer, it draws up an investment strategy and decides on the funding mechanisms to be used to ensure that the company’s finances are firmly focused on sustainability. The third aspect concerns industry-relevant solutions. dss+’s job is to propose innovative solutions that take into account the environmental component while having a positive impact for the customer.
Numerous clients in Switzerland and abroad
dss+ has achieved excellent results for a long list of customers including big industry names like Nespresso, which the company is proud to feature in its customer portfolio. Several international organisations, including the ICRC, UNICEF and WWF, also use its services. Lastly, dss+ works with many Swiss public sector organisations at national, cantonal and municipal level, demonstrating that sustainability applies to a wide range of economic players operating in very different sectors.
The solutions implemented by dss+ have reduced companies’ costs by improving the efficiency of their processes and reducing their consumption of resources, particularly energy and water. The company is also committed to developing its customers’ brand image, helping them to operate more equitably internally and achieve sustainability and social enterprise recognition such as B Corp certification. Lastly, risk reduction is also an area in which dss+ is striving to make a lasting difference. The company is working on ways to reduce accidents and injury, cut operational stoppage time and minimise ESG and supply chain risks. With its international scope, dss+ tries to do its bit to create a more sustainable future. The many projects it undertakes are its way of contributing, at its own level, to a more positive future for the generations to come.
