Task Number 2

Complete the following activities:

1. Develop a briefing report.

1. Introduction
Grow Management Consultants aims at:
“We are committed, as a business, to the well-being of both economic and
ecological systems, of both humans and other living things”.
The organisation will complete and execute its sustainable practices
comprehensively with this clear mission. The aim of the briefing report is to
provide applicable sustainability information, including legislation and current
organisational sustainability practises, as well as to look for feedback into
policy and procedures development.

2. Sustainability facts and figures

It needs an understanding of the current sustainability facts and figures of the
business to establish the sustainability policy and procedures that are
appropriate for organisational operations as follows:

(a) Resources:
· Company’s ten publications are published through a publishing house
in the USA. The books are produced using non-recycled paper and are
transported via air to Grow Management Consultants office. Options for
e-books are considered.

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 · The company does not have a policy for purchasing equipment, and
buys equipment when required; often purchasing whatever is on
special at the time.
· Staff buy stationary requirements on an ad hoc basis, often resulting in
large stocks of items such as notepads and A grade printer paper.
· The office is cleaned once a week by contract cleaners who use regular
cleaning products.

(b) Energy usage:

· There is older style florescent lighting in all offices, staff room and
bathroom. These lights are often left on after the work day has finished.
· There are no formal energy usage procedures for staff or signage to
remind staff.

(c) Travelling:
· All staff drive to work in their own cars although the nearest railway
station is only 10 minutes’ walk from the office.

· The two principal consultants have company vehicles. Both vehicles

are now five years old and need to be upgraded.

(d) Recycling:
· There is a waste bin and recycling bins, which are mostly used
correctly.
· The company hosts regular meetings and workshops. Catering is
provided by an external caterer with all plates and cups supplied
(plastic).

3. Sustainability benefits
Growing Management Consultants are interested in developing a
sustainability policy and procedures that cover all aspects of the business
including, as a minimum, transportation, purchase, use of office power, office
supplies, and cleaning. If it is successful, there would be many benefits to
sustainability achievement:

(a) Economic benefits:

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 · Ownership and management will reap financial benefits from cost
control changes-due to reduced use of energy and water, as well as
increased revenues from recognition as a green space.
· The organisation has real sustainability trials to expand its portfolio of
business management, providing customers with sustainability and
leadership consultancy. This allows the business to grow
· This helps improve the image and creditworthiness of the company.
Customers and the local community would be interested in how the
organisation takes responsibility for environmental issues. This means
more public support, more potential customers, and more incentives for
market share growth.

(b) Ecological benefit, of both humans and other living things:

· The staff also benefit from the healthier working environment and team
building events, which could lead to a higher working efficiency and
loyalty.
· Local community is supported because the company would use local
services (for example, printing) rather than outsourcing overseas.
· Our planet is saved, more and more fresh air and green - thanks to
energy, waste, water and transport reducing.

4. Business planning, opportunities and sustainability

The company can insert a section of sustainability plan into its business plan,
which requires the following information:
· Environmental/ resource impacts - Describe the impact the business
could potentially have on the environment.
· Community impact and engagement - Describe how the
environmental impact affects the local community.
· Risks/ constraints - List any risks/ constraints to the business
resulting from any environmental impacts.
· Strategies - Detail any strategies the company will implement to
minimise/ mitigate its environmental impact and any risks to the
business.
· Action plan - List key sustainability/ environmental milestones and
include the following details for each: (1) Sustainability milestone
- Detail the milestone the company is trying to achieve. For example,

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 reduce water consumption. (2) Target - Detail the target the company is
trying to achieve. For example, reduce water consumption by 30%. (3)
Target Date - Enter the date and year the company expects to reach
each target.

The organization’s commitment to sustainability offers a lot of potential

business opportunities. Therefore, the commitment should be communicated
not only internally among the team, but also externally to business partners,
suppliers, customers and other stakeholders.
· Internal communication to employees - Sustainability becomes an
ingrained part of the company culture that its employees are proud of
and increasing their satisfaction.
· External communication to business partners, suppliers and
service providers - This can influence stakeholders’ practices and
practices in the broader community, too.
· Communication to customers - The company can demonstrate that
they are conducting their sustainability commitment to the
environment.  More and more customers expect this kind of
commitment from the companies they buy from.

6. Life cycle mapping

An assessment of the life cycle is a method
to define and quantify the environmental impact of the resource and resources
used throughout a product's life cycle, including growth, delivery, use and
disposal.
A product or service is assessed or designed to reduce potential impacts on
the environment throughout its life cycle. A business can therefore set up its
detailed sustainability practises by full life cycle management processes,
ensuring that every phase of development is carefully examined in the sense
of

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 environmental sustainability.
Figure 1: Sustainability Consumption and Production policies along the
product life cycle.
Source: UNEP, Paris 2012

There are 5 stages in life cycle mapping process:

Because Grow Management Consultants is studying planning a sustainability
policy and procedures and has not released the policy yet, an example of
Potato producing company is utilised to illustrate for the usage of life cycle
mapping process.

Stage 1: Identifying the stages in the life cycle

Identify the key stages/processes in the production of the product or service
and record these in the linear life cycle.

Figure 2: Linear life cycle

Stage 2: Life cycle mapping

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 Draw a life cycle map showing the
main stages for the product or
service. When completed the map,
use a highlight pen to highlight the
stages where the company expect
that the biggest environmental
impacts may occur.

Stage 3: Identifying key environmental impacts

Use the information from the map to complete the life cycle impacts matrix by
thinking about the environmental impacts that may occur at each stage – note
some of these will be completely outside the influence.

Stage 4: Developing strategies to reduce environmental impacts

The company now need to think about possible ways of reducing these
impacts.

Figure 6: Mitigating strategies - Potato chips

Source: sustainability.vic.gov.au

Stage 5: Selecting most effective strategies

In the final stage, plotting all strategies on the value versus effort grid to
decide the most effective strategies. The results could be analysed and
divided into 4 kinds:
· Easy Wins - these will require minimal effort and can be actioned
immediately; others will require assessment as the effort required could
outweigh the environmental value gained.
· Evaluate and Action - these will need to be evaluated and assigned
resources and responsibility in order to be actioned as the return is high
with medium effort.
· Divide and Conquer - these initiatives require dividing into
manageable portions, which can be placed into either ‘Evaluate and
Action’ or ‘Park’.
· Park - don’t proceed with these. However, they may be actioned later,
when more resources are available.

7. Legal requirements in relation to workplace sustainability

To support the development of workplace sustainability, several key
legislations related to sustainability relevant to the business are considered:

· The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

(EPBC Act) is the first comprehensive attempt to define the
Commonwealth’s responsibilities to environmental issues. The EPBC
Act is a framework provided by the Parliament of Australia for
protection of the Australian environment, including its biodiversity and
its natural and culturally significant places. The EPBC is effective in
July 2000. It proposed a range of processes to help protect and
promote the recovery of threatened species and ecological
communities, and preserve significant places from decline. The Act
identifies seven matters of national environmental significance: World
Heritage properties - National heritage places including overseas
places of historic significance - Wetlands of international importance
(Ramsar wetlands) - Threatened species and ecological communities -
Migratory species - Commonwealth marine areas and Nuclear actions
(including uranium mining & building of nuclear waste repositories).
· The Australian Packaging Covenant (‘the Covenant’) is an agreement
established to direct how the government and companies in the supply
chain share responsibilities for managing the environmental impacts of
consumer packaging in Australia. Related stakeholders to adopt and
implement the Covenant are the supply chain (raw material suppliers,
packaging manufacturers and suppliers, brand owners and retailers)
and consumers, waste service providers, recyclers and all levels of
government – Australian, state, territory and local.

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 The Covenant aims at three performance goals: (1) Design: Optimising
packaging to use resources efficiently and reducing environmental impact
without compromising product quality and safety, (2) Recycling: Preventing
the impacts of fugitive packaging on the environment, efficiently collecting and
recycling packaging and (3) Product Stewardship: Demonstrating commitment
by all signatories.
· The Australian Ecolabel Program code of practice is to provide
voluntary standards for environmentally preferable standards. They are
a form of sustainability measurement directed to consumers, intended
to make it easier to take environmental concerns into account when
shopping. Ecolabelling objectives are protecting the environment,
encouraging environmentally sound innovation and leadership, and
building consumer awareness of environmental issues. It is established
found on the international standard ISO 14024: “Environmental Labels
and Declarations – Guiding Principles”.
· ISO 14001 Certification – It is a standard layout to create the
sustainability policy, which sets out the criteria for an environmental
management system and can be certified to. This certificate provides
the company a set process to establish environmentally aware systems
within the business, and once the company have achieved full
certification, it allows the organization to officially demonstrate
competence in this area (sustainability) to prospective clients.
· Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) - The GRI is a network-based
organisation that has developed the world’s most widely used
sustainability reporting framework and is committed to its continuous
improvement and application worldwide.
· National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (Cth) - This Act
introduced a single national framework for the reporting and
dissemination of information about greenhouse gas emissions,
greenhouse gas projects, and energy production and consumption.

6. Develop an Action plan for the upcoming 12 months

Sustainability Action Plan

Standardly, the consulting process of Grow Management Consultants
includes 5 main steps:
a. Entry and Contracting: Tasks include (1) Setting up the first meeting; (2)
Exploring what the problem is; (3) Determining if you're the right consultant for
the work; (4) Listing the client's expectations; (5) Specifying what expectations
you have and (6) Figuring out how to get started.
b. Data Collection and Diagnosis: After initial discussion with clients, the
company comes up with the own sense of the problem. In this phase, it needs
to know who is going to be involved in defining the problem; what methods will
be used; what kind of data should be collected; and how long will it take.
c. Feedback and the Decision to Act: As a consultant you'll need to report
your findings from stage 2. Complicated information and findings out should
be summarized and reduced so that it can be managed and understood.

RTO Provider 91153 - Cricos Code: 02672K

greenwichcollege.edu.au
 d. Implementation: This stage involves taking everything that has been
decided previously and implementing the solution decided upon. Normally, the
client (organization) is responsible for this implementation.
e. Extension, Recycle, or Termination: Based on the result of consulting,
the client (organization) could conduct the extension, recycling or termination
towards the company’s consulting services.
=> Conclusion: Most of the company's operations are linked to hard copy
and soft copy data, direct and indirect communication because of its specific
qualities. Environmental impacts will focus primarily on the use of energy,
water, paper, and human factors.
