TASK

Sustainability is no longer a choice in this crowded market and modern consumer would
go an extra mile and willing to pay a premium for products which fall under the banner of
“Clean”(produced or Service rendered without any guilt).

Please select a company preferably a listed company in CSE and do a very

comprehensive analysis using the Triple Bottom-line Framework i.e. People, Profit
and Planet and do recommendations as necessary to take their Sustainability
initiatives to the next level.

To accomplish your assignment, you will need to:

1. Choose any book or journal article that related to the question. You can choose any topic in
Sri Lankan issues or abroad. While you are reading, sometime you will find that the opinion
or suggestion that you are agree with that. So you can state your idea or opinion. Opinion
and ideas must be based or supported by references.
2. You might need to read many references and evaluate them before selecting which ones
will be involved in your writing.
3. Thus, you will need to incorporate support from several sources of different views. This type
of assignment requires you to examine a variety of sources and identify their relationship to
your topic.
4. Arrange multiple sources per point to increase your credibility.
5. Follow the following format:

A. The introduction (usually one paragraph)

  Contains a one-sentence statement that sums up the focus of your topic or the
introduction about the article.
 Sometimes also provides pertinent background about the general topic from which
the texts are drawn.

B. The body
 This should be organized by any point or content that you found. Please do not mix
2 or more point in the one paragraph. Separate it in to different paragraph. In order
to make your explanation become interesting, you need another extra information
that you can get from the library or another sources.

Be sure that each paragraph:

1. begins with a sentence or phrase that informs readers of the topic of the
paragraph (a topic sentences);
2. includes information from more than one source; and clearly indicates
which material comes from which source using in-text citations to avoid
plagiarism.
3. shows the similarities or differences between the different sources in ways
that make the paper as informative as possible;

 Titles and subtitles can be used throughout the essay to emphasis different issues

C. Conclusion.
 Remind readers of the most significant themes you have found and the ways they
connect to the overall topic. You may also want to suggest further research or
comment on things that it was not possible for you to discuss in the paper.
