Length 1,200 words +/–10%
Learning Outcomes The Subject Learning Outcomes demonstrated by the
successful completion of the task below include:
a) Critically analyse the importance and challenges of
ethics and sustainability in the economy and organisations
eflecting on the roles of key sustainability stakeholders;
) Investigate, analyse and evaluate the challenges
associated with sustainably and ethically managing an
engineering
organisation’s strategy and functions, as well as the
management capabilities required;
c) Critically analyse and apply tools, methodologies,
management practices and processes to ensure engineering
sustainability compliance and delivery of sustainable
outcomes; and
d) Create a sustainability strategy to contribute to
usiness continuity.
Task Summary
Investigate and develop in 1,200 words (+/–10%) a sustainability strategy and plan fo
engineering and technical operations in an organisation of your choice. The sustainability
strategy needs to describe the cu
ent situation, the desired future and the management
action plan that will be implemented to achieve the desired future.
Please refer to the Task Instructions (below) for details on how to complete this task.
Context
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to research and develop a
sustainability strategy and action plan for an organisation using strategic tools,
methodologies and processes. Sustainability strategies and action plans are important to
engineering and technology organisations because they provide management with a set of
decisions about cu
ent and future actions that need to be implemented to ensure that
organisations meet their sustainability targets and objectives in a way that meets the
expectations of community, business and organisation stakeholders.
In developing your sustainability strategy, you should:
1. Describe the cu
ent sustainability situation of the organisation;
2. Develop and outline the desired future sustainability state; and
3. Develop and outline a management action plan to achieve the desired future sustainability
state.
Task Instructions
In this assessment, you will use a strategy process, a methodology and tools to develop an
engineering sustainability strategy and action plan for the engineering and technical
operations of an organisation.
You should prepare for and approach this task by completing ‘Module 3: Ensuring an Ethical,
Responsible and Sustainable Engineering Organisation’ and ‘Module 4: Ensuring
Engineering Sustainability Compliance’.
To complete this assessment, you will research and examine the following issues for the
engineering and technical operations of an organisation of your choice:
1. Describe the cu
ent sustainability situation of the organisation. This includes the:
• Existing engineering sustainability strategy, approach, organisation, practices,
objectives, resources and capabilities;
• Ethical and corporate social responsibility and its links to sustainability;
• Business environment and industry conditions; and
• Meaning of engineering sustainability to your selected organisation.
2. Develop the desired future sustainability, stating the:
• Sustainability values, vision and ethical issues;
• Objectives/goals to be accomplished; and
• The meaning of sustainability to the selected organisation;
3. Develop a management action plan to achieve the desired sustainability that details:
• How, when and who will undertake the actions required to implement the
sustainability strategy;
• The management practices and processes that will be implemented to ensure
delivery and compliance; and
• How to engage with stakeholders, set goals and commitments, establish systems
and processes, track progress, communicate actions and meet expectations.
In structuring the report, please use the following headings as a guide:
1. Introduction
• Summarise the background information provided on the importance and process of
developing a sustainability strategy.
• Describe your chosen organisation.
• Describe the objective of the assessment.
2. Cu
ent sustainability state of the selected organisation
3. Desired sustainability state of the selected organisation
4. Development of management action plan to achieve desired state
