Information
You are required to work in a group of three (3) for this project.
There are five (5) parts to this project.
The total length of this project is approximately 2000 words.
Refer to your traine
assessor for further information.
You are required to adhere to industry code of ethics in completing this project.
Project overview
Your group has been asked to develop a sustainability policy and procedure by the management of SCEI.
Cu
ently, SCEI has a large number of electrical equipment such as computers and printers to support the
operations of the organisation. All of these equipment are switched on no matter whether they are in use or
not. All the course materials were printed single-sided and materials for internal use were printed in colour.
Most of the staff prefe
ed to drive to the College, so the car park is always too full. SCEI is expanding its
usiness rapidly. Considering the growing business needs, SCEI wants to come up with a new sustainability
policy and procedure to minimise its environmental impact. For example, the College is considering installing
low flush toilets in all of its bathrooms and air hand driers to replace paper towel dispensers. It is estimated
that this will save the business a fortune in water consumption fees. In order to do so, SCEI is adopting several
measures which include:
Space conservation
Recycling
Minimise energy consumption
Part One
You are required to develop a workplace sustainability policy and procedure for SCEI that complies with
legislative requirements. Before developing the policy and procedure your group is required to create a 2000
word proposal which covers the following:
What is the scope of the sustainability policy and procedure?
What are the different sources where you can gather information to create the policy and procedure?
Who are the key stakeholders?
BSBSUS501– Student Assessment 10
Version 1.1 – May 2016

What strategies can be included in the policy and procedure to encourage stakeholders to use the
esources efficiently?
What are the recommendations for policy and procedure options with respect to effectiveness,
timeframe and cost of the implementation of the policy and procedure?
Benchmark indicators of industry best practice
What are the suitable methods of implementation, including communication procedures?
The strategies for monitoring continuous improvement in sustainability practices.
Part Two
Your group is required to present the proposal (from Part One) to the management of SCEI (traine
assessor
and class students). Before the presentation you are required to provide a copy of your proposal to the
traine
assessor.
Your presentation should cover the following points:
Workplace sustainability policy and procedure and its impacts (e.g. expected positive and negative
outcomes on stakeholders)
Steps involved in implementing the policy and procedure including communication procedures
Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders
Strategies for continuous improvement in sustainability practices
Following the presentation you must gain feedback on your proposal:
from the audience of your presentation
from one of the managers (traine
assessor)
Once you have received feedback, you are required to review the proposal and make the appropriate changes.
Your traine
assessor must approve the proposal before you can continue to Part Three.
Part Three
Now your proposal has been approved, develop the policy and procedure that reflects the organisation’s
commitment to sustainability as integral to its growth and development.
Your policy and procedure must be meet a standard policy and procedure structure:
Policy and procedure title
Purpose
Scope
Definitions
Policy statements (policy headings, subheadings, statements)
Procedures (procedure headings, subheadings, procedural steps)
