DSS Joins Greek Shipowners in Supporting Thessaly following its Floods

At DSS, we are committed to embodying environmental awareness not only through our day-to-day operations but also through meaningful initiatives that contribute to the well-being of our planet and its people. Our 2023 participation alongside Greek shipowners in donating €50 million to flood victims in the Thessaly region of central Greece underscores our dedication to this principle and aligns with the 'environmental' and ‘social’ pillar of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy.

Our contribution demonstrates our recognition of the interconnectedness between environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The devastating floods in the Thessaly region did not only cause immediate humanitarian crises but also underscored the urgent need for proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of climate change. By extending our support to the flood victims, we offered relief in times of distress.

Our participation in this initiative reflects our understanding of the broader implications of environmental degradation on human lives and communities. Following from our purpose & mission, we acknowledge our responsibility to safeguard not only the oceans but also the terrestrial environments that sustain human livelihoods.

This contribution also exemplifies our proactive approach to corporate citizenship and our willingness to collaborate with stakeholders to drive positive change. By partnering with other Greek shipowners, we leverage collective resources and expertise to maximize the impact of our philanthropic endeavors, demonstrating the power of collaboration in addressing pressing environmental issues.
