Switzerland’s ‘Best Managed Companies’ for 2024 have been unveiled, with Geneva-headquartered dss+ among the companies lauded for excellence in growth and achievements.
Organised in 40+ countries worldwide, the Best Managed Companies is a programme by Deloitte recognises a country’s top performing privately held companies. For its assessment, the researchers evaluate companies in the areas of strategy, capabilities, commitment, and financial performance.
In the Swiss edition, 15 companies from different sectors were awarded the Best Managed Company status, with dss+ one of four companies to land the award for the first time.
The jury singled out dss+ for its achievements in several areas, including its purpose of saving lives and creating a sustainable future through its commitment to delivering impactful, quality outcomes to its clients. The jury also distinguished dss+ for its culture that empowers employees and encourages innovation and for creating value for its shareholders – investors, employees and clients alike.

The award-winning firm helps clients enhance safety, manage risk, optimise performance, achieve sustainability, and cultivate organisational and human capabilities for more resilient and sustainable operations.
