Webinars
‘Buddies’ for New Members
Depending on where your organisation is on its sustainability journey when you join the DSF, you may like to take up the offer of mentoring from an existing DSF Member. As the DSF operates in a ‘pre- competitive’ space and encourages sharing and support between members, this opportunity is quite unique. If you would like the opportunity to be put in contact with an existing DSF Member who can answer questions and be a sounding board for your ideas as you embark on implementing the DSF process, please contact the DSF Secretariat who will identify the most appropriate Member ‘Buddy’ for you.
Community of Interest Groups
These are open only to Implementing and Aggregating Members of the DSF. The groups provide a platform for DSF Members to share challenges, collaborate in identifying solutions and experiences across the globe under the DSF Sustainability Criteria. The COI’s are totally member focused. The DSF provide the platform though it is the DSF Members who agree the topics, regularity of meetings and any associated work plan.
Annual Aggregated reporting
These are published on the DSF website each year. These are also available in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French and Portuguese, in addition to English. Individual graphics used in the report can be made available for use by Members in their local communication activities.
Annual Members Meeting
Don’t miss this opportunity to get together with other Members, Governors and DSF Advisory Council members to be inspired by what others are doing, hear a review of the annual reporting as well as being inspired by external specialists who always provide challenging input. The annual meeting is developed in collaboration with the DSF Development Group to ensure the program is totally member focused and interactive.
