Implementation of sustainability in an organization

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 sustainability 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.
