IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS You have two options for this section of your assessment – Option 1 is for students who are working from the case study business. Option 2 is for students who are working from their own business. |
|
Important: You should only complete ONE of the following options. If you are unsure which option you should complete, speak to your assessor. |
Activities – Option 1 (Grow Consultants)
Option 1 is for students who worked from the Grow Consultants case study in Assessment Task 2. If you completed Assessment Task 2 using your own business, skip straight to Option 2. If you are unsure, speak to your assessor. DO NOT COMPLETE BOTH OPTIONS.
Complete the following activities:
1. Undertake an inspection of your RTO facility
|
|
Assume that, following acceptance of your sustainability policy and procedures, you have been asked to implement strategies identified in your action plan for the continuous improvement of resource efficiency. This is to include an inspection of the workplace to identify environmental sustainability and resource usage issues and to identify and report on possible solutions. You will therefore undertake an inspection of the RTO facility using the environmental sustainability and resource Usage Record Template provided in Section 5 of your Project Portfolio (Part B). Record at least three actual or potential environmental sustainability and resource usage issues that you find. Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the inspection and will observe you conducting the inspection. |
|
|
Make sure you have answered all questions in Section 5 of your Portfolio (Part B). Submit to your assessor for review. You are also required to attach certain documents as part of your evidence – review the documents you need to attach as outlined in Section 5 of the Project Portfolio (Part B) and make sure you attach these upon submission. |
2. Develop a memo for staff about best practice sustainability procedures
|
|
Assume that you wish to commence implementing a further initiative from the action plan, which is to provide regular communications to staff about sustainability practices. Based on one of the issues identified in your environmental sustainability and resource usage record, develop a short memo to send to staff about best practice sustainability procedures. For example, if you have identified that water usage is high, you could write about tips to reduce water usage. The memo you develop must be written in plain English and in user-friendly language and be designed to promote engagement in sustainability initiatives. The memo should be no more than one page and include images such as photos or graphs to assist with understanding and engagement. Work into Section 6 of your Portfolio (Part B). |
|
|
Make sure you have answered all questions in Section 6 of your Portfolio (Part B). Submit to your assessor for review. You are also required to attach certain documents as part of your evidence – review the documents you need to attach as outlined in each copy of Section 6 of the Project Portfolio and make sure you attach these upon submission. |
3. Develop a sustainability register
|
|
You are required to develop a register for recording and tracking all continuous improvements in resource efficiency. The register should be able to include, as a minimum, the ability to record the reported opportunity, action to be taken, responsibility, timelines and outcome. |
|
|
Work into Section 7 of your Portfolio (Part B). |
|
|
Make sure you have answered all questions in Section 7 of your Portfolio. Submit to your assessor for review. You are also required to attach certain documents as part of your evidence – review the documents you need to attach as outlined in each copy of Section 7 of the Project Portfolio and make sure you attach these upon submission. |
4. Develop a sustainability implementation report
|
|
Assume that the sustainability policy and procedure you developed has been implemented, as well as findings from regular sustainability inspections. Sustainability initiatives implemented include: · Energy audit and all recommendations implemented including signage about energy use (e.g. switch off lights at night, turn down brightness, turn off taps) · Recycling policy introduced, and three more recycling bins introduced. · Green purchasing policy developed (on staff intranet, email sent to staff to advise). · Green transport policy developed and implemented (on staff intranet, email sent to staff to advise). Assume also the following sustainability targets: · Reduce electricity consumption by 20% within six months. · Promote awareness of sustainability initiatives amongst all staff members A staff survey has been undertaken (see the Simulation Pack for results), as well as an energy audit. The results of the energy audit are as follows: Actions implemented: · replace halogen downlights with energy efficient downlights and transformers · connect to natural gas, converting to an energy source with one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity from coal · replace electric storage hot water heater with instant solar hot water · replace air conditioner with a more efficient inverter unit. Prior to energy audit: · Annual energy bill: $2,415 a year · Annual greenhouse emissions: 18 tonnes a year Six months later: · Annual energy bill: $1,800 a year · Annual greenhouse emissions: 10.2 tonnes a year One year later: · Annual energy bill: $2,215 a year · Annual greenhouse emissions: 14 tonnes a year Note: Four new staff members employed may account for increase. Energy targets were not adjusted to account for the new staff. |
|
|
You are required to review the results of the staff survey and the energy statistics provided. Based on your review, develop a short report that outlines: · Analysis of staff survey results and achievements against targets · Analysis of energy audit data and achievements against targets · Recommendations for additional actions that need to be taken based on the data above. · Summary of the success of the sustainability policy and procedures based on analysis. · Updates to sustainability policy and procedures to account for recommended improvements. |

Complete the following activities:
1. Implement your action plan
|
|
Now that you have developed policies, procedures and an action plan, it is time to implement. Put the action plan that you developed in Assessment Task 2 in place and monitor the results for enough time to track results. Report on the following by completing Section 5 of your Project Portfolio: · Were the resources that you identified and sourced adequate to implement the sustainability initiative/policy? · What support did you provide to implement the policy? · How did you track and record sustainability improvements? · How did you provide feedback to stakeholders? · How did you document outcomes? · What trends did you identify? · What changes did you make to the policy as a result of the implementation? · What were the sustainability gains as a result of implementation? |
