A Recap of DSS Social from November 2017

Burgess COMMENTARY
I have followed DSS for a long time, and want to see big companies embrace sustainability in a meaningful way ... but I am also an accountant, a former CFO and a realist about materiality. The recent combination of Dow's agricultural business with DuPont's agricultural business and the creation of an independent entity was marketed as a positive increment to the market and competition ... but ... give me a break ... it was absolutely the opposite. People working in the sustainability space should have been up in arms ... but not a squeak. Peter Burgess ... http://truevaluemetrics.org

In this post, we highlighted leading indicators in safety performance, and discussed whether elements such as 5S, Safety Audits, or Safety Action Plans should be considered as KPIs. We also discussed whether they apply at all levels within the organization. Follow the discussion here: https://lnkd.in/eyTK-pF

One of the winners of the DuPont Safety and Sustainability Awards 2017 was British Colombia Ferries, a ferry services company based in the UK.
