Industry Applied Solutions
At dss+, we take an industry-focused approach to designing and implementing technical solutions. That’s because sustainability transformation means something different in each industry and has to be embedded in everything a business does, from sourcing and procurement, to product development through how you manage site operations.
We work with leaders to develop, implement, and integrate sustainability and decarbonisation roadmaps that drive business value and societal impact, grounded in an understanding of stakeholder expectations, business processes, and culture.
We bring a unique combination of technical, industry and change management capabilities that enable transformational change from leadership to functions and across business operations.
For all of our industry applied work, we focus on some key principals:
Impact driven We meet our clients where they are on their journey and deliver outcomes to maintain momentum.
Participatory processes
We use collaborative, stakeholder led processes to bring robust ideas and build buy-in.
Data and science driven
Our feasibility and opportunity assessments, diagnosis, surveys are based on balance of policy, economic, environmental and technical and business criteria.
Monitoring and evaluation
We develop robust and pragmatic performance metrics and reporting to help drive and maintain focus on impact and performance improvement.
Capacity building
For all our engagements we support the journey through training, coaching, and working side by side. If you’re in the Metals and Mining industry, for instance, you’re likely facing a unique set of challenges from meeting the supply of critical metals and rare piles of earth to reducing your operating costs and striving for reduced emissions. This is not something you need to face alone.
At dss+ we can support you as you respond to these pressures and divest, achieve operational excellence and deliver Net Zero by 2050. Similarly, if you’re ready to explore what the circular economy means for your team, your company, or your industry, our team can explore value retention processes (think “reduce, reuse, recycle” or upcycling) or innovative business models most adapted to your specific context while leveraging decades of experience in the field.
What industry-applied solutions and value mean in practice
We offer industry-specific experience and insight, local market knowledge and deep technical know-how. Our teams understand your issues and provide pragmatic support for the day-to-day challenges alongside the strategic decisions.
