Enviromental sustainable business: Assignment 2 Details (70% of module mark, 2000 words)
Your second assignment builds on your first assignment.
Your second assignment is a business report consisting of:
- An introduction that summarises key company and environmental impacts information from your first assignment (no more than 200 words).
- A critical evaluation of the environmental sustainability strategy and performance of your company. You can carry out a critical evaluation in many ways but some questions you may wish to address include:
- What is the stated sustainability strategy of the company?
- How well does the company apply the principles of resource savings (the 5Rs) to its operations, supply chain management and/or marketing management?
- How does the company use environmental management systems and what does this say about their commitment to their strategy?
- How ambitious, comprehensive, transparent and successful does the company appear to be in dealing with sustainability issues? You could include in this a critique of their sustainability reporting.
- The use of appropriate concepts, frameworks and theories that are embedded in your critical evaluation i.e this is not a separate section of your report.
- A conclusions section that sums up your evaluation and makes recommendations for improvements.
