Implementation of Sustainability in an Organization

 

 Assignment 2: Required Assignment 2—Implementation of Sustainability in an Organization

 

All consumers and firms affect sustainability in different ways, either directly or indirectly. In practicing sustainability, a firm could create value for consumers, investors, and other stakeholders, such as the community in which the firm operates within its value chain. In addition, a firm engaging in good sustainable practices can fulfill the needs of its customers, earn a profit, and preserve the environment. This assignment will allow you, as a consumer, to explore how you can impact sustainability.

 

Tasks:

 

Propose a substantial investment plan to improve the performance of your work group or organization or an organization you hope to work for. The investment can be made in human resources, in expansion of tangible or intangible assets toward new uses, or in capital equipment or new technology.

 

Analyze how the investment plan achieves the following:

 

• Contributes to the mission of the company

• Expands rewards for all major components of the value chain, which should include the company, employees, suppliers, and customers

• Generates wealth or value and is sustainable over time

• Evaluates and anticipates risks associated with the investment

  Organize your work to create a 2- to 3-page professional memo in a Microsoft Word document outlining your investment plan to the director and an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation script with complete endnotes explaining your recommendations to employees in your work group. Follow APA standards for citation of sources. Write your response in minimum of 500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation
