Executive Summary
· Company specifics
· Offer 2 – 3 paragraphs of context for your chosen company
· Articulate the CSR issue you will explore
· Relate a CSR claim made by your chosen company to a specific component within the Triple Bottom Line
· Restate that claim as an issue, e.g. “In this audit, I will focus on…”
· Use the Issue Gauge to help hone your issue statement; rework your issue statement to a score above 150 points if possible
· Explain your grading methodology
· Help your reader (me!) understand what the “math” supporting how you will grade the issue you stated above
· For example:
In this project, I examined 5 claims made by the organization in reference to their stated support of sustainability. If all claims were found to be valid, a grade of “A” would be awarded. Four of 5 claims co
oborated would result in a grade of “B” while three co
oborated claims would result in a “C” and so forth.
Help your reader understand how you reached your final assessment within your audit!
Your Executive Summary, issue statement, and explanation of grading methodology should not exceed two pages in total!
