Demonstrate an understanding and background to sustainable business operations.

A??????????????????????ssessment BriefIndividually you will produce a briefing paper for a business outlining the steps the business could take to develop their sustainability commitment and in particular, improve an element of their operations. You will need to select an appropriate and relevant business for this task.You will consider the pressures upon the business to become more sustainable, the challenges it might face, the developments in the marketplace in which they operate and outline a strategic approach to making change with potential targets and objectives.FOCUS – All reports will be a) broadly focused on becoming more sustainable in the first instance and b) will subsequently drill down on ONE OF THESE areas [unless a link is obvious] …AREAS – Energy use; Reducing plastic, Product redesign, Water use; Transport, pollution and the alternatives; Waste; Supply chains and their management; Workplace issues; CSR; Merchandising materials; Marketing Communications; or a company specific choiceAssignment 1: Your Individual Consultancy Report needs to be submitted through, Turn-it-inWord Count: 2,500 words (+ or – 10%). – Microsoft WordAssessment GuidelinesConsider a report title and title page? Consider the professional features of your report which may be used by the organisation but certainly seen by them.Part A)Introduction: Setting the scene for/of the business.Who/what is it and what does it do?Part B)Demonstrate an understanding and background to sustainable business operations.New business models and ways of operating?Part C)Outline the particular areas of concern related to your chosen type of business.What is it doing wrong (badly, unsustainably, impacts etc.…in contrast to others doing better?Part D)A critical evaluation of alternative business practices relevant to identified concern.Thought on what they might do…alternatives?Part E) Recommendations and ConclusionWhat they should do…how they should do it…include strategic thoughts…targets, outcomes, KPIs etc.Important PointsYou might bear in mind throughout your paper that the impact of change on business is the important focus (managing sustainability with the emphasis on managing). This means that you will be discussing your points in the context of the experiences, or potential experiences, of the company. However, you will need to provide full Harvard academic references throughout your briefing paper or you will lose marks. Your introduction should make this very clear.The same applies to the historical contextualisation. You are not expected to write a comprehensive history of the relationship between sustainability and business, but to highlight, explain and evaluate the impact that changes in business practice have had on the environment, as relevant to the sector of your chosen business type. Failure to follow this can result in your report not meeting the assessment requirements.You might need to weigh the benefits and costs of economic growth of the business against the costs and benefits of alternative, more sustainable practice. It may be that potential alternative business options are not economically viable for some businesses such a SME’s, and you will need to evaluate these. Business cannot simply do nothing; it faces government legislation, the law, and regulators such as the Environment Agency which have wide-ranging powers. These factors are of major importance in business planning and its response to the future.By the time you begin to write your report you will have been made aware of a number of new ways of looking at the world that may influence the way business is conducted in the future, and these views might be aired in your paper and placed in the business context. Please ensure that all points made are referenced and supported by evidence.The finished productWhen you submit your briefing paper please ensure that:• A reminder of a standard report format is provided via EBSCO. Please avoid using abstracts/ summaries at the start of your report. You need to focus your on providing detailed and appropriate information relevant to the report.• Use appendices for extra information.• Each page is numbered• Use 1.5 spaced typing and 11 point font.• Include your Student ID, Module Code, Module Title and Assessment Number on your Title Page.References and StructurePart of the process of developing a good academic writing style is giving proper credit to authors whose id??????????????????????eas and information you have used. When you take notes from books or journals, take care to write down the author’s name, title of the text, the publisher, date of publication, and page numbers. All coursework must contain a bibliography containing listing all the works you have referred to and quoted from in your work. You must reference the author’s work in your text when you refer to it and list it in your bibliography. If you are in any doubt about the correct procedures for referencing please consult your course handbook.• Your assignment should be Harvard Referenced and show a range of sources. This includes all data used throughout.• Please ensure that you structure your report appropriately and check your use of spelling, grammar and punctuation throughout.Additional InfoThis is designed to help but it’s not essential.How do I choose a business?– Pick an industry/ business that you are interested in.– Select something you understand, as you will need up to date data.

Based on what you know or what you read on the Internet or in other sources, do you believe that the company is customer-focused? Why or why not?

Retail and ManufacturingThis soft drink brand is recognized worldwide. The drink has one of the most recognized corporate logos and is sold in over 200 countries through 250 bottlers throughout the world.This company’s story began in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1886, when pharmacist John Pemberton was experimenting with a recipe that he later mixed with carbonated water and began to sell at his drugstore. Two years after its invention, Pemberton sold his secret formula to a businessman by the name of Asa Candler, who formed a corporation to bottle and distribute the trendy drink. He later sold the rights to two other businessmen who wanted to bottle the drink to enhance distribution. Candler sold syrup that his company produced to these distributors, but not his secret formula. They simply mixed the syrup with carbonated water and bottled it. From there, the product became a household name as more people began to take the drink home to enjoy.Competitors soon emerged. To ensure that people could tell the original from the competition, the distributors created the trademarked contour bottle in 1916 so that customers would recognize the original product. Candler ultimately sold his company in 1919 to a group of investors, with Robert Woodruff as the president. The new group wanted to make the drink available anytime and anyplace. To accomplish this, the new company started adding bottling plants all over the world.The six Ps of the company vision statement highlight its purpose and desired future objectives—people, portfolio, partners, planet, profit, and productivity.To assist in accomplishing its vision, the company established a foundation in 1984. This entity focuses on helping and giving back to communities worldwide. Some of the issues supported in various countries include water stewardship (providing safe, clean drinking water), lifestyle and behavioral change programs (e.g., nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification), recycling, and education.Assignment DetailsAnswer the following questions in 1000 words in APA with 2 referencesWhat is your opinion of this company? Explain.Based on what you know or what you read on the Internet or in other sources, do you believe that the company is customer-focused? Why or why not?How does the company’s community involvement potentially affect its image in the eyes of customers or potential customers?

explain how, in general, you would incorporate multiple perspectives of a variety of stakeholders and/or human services professionals as you treat clients.

As a social worker, you bring your own lens—that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations—into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization’s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization’s policies and procedures.Understanding cultural lenses—your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact—will enable you to better serve your clients.Focus on the Paula Cortez case study for this Discussion. In this case study, four professionals present their perspectives on the Paula Cortez case. These workers could view Paula’s case through a variety of cultural lenses, including socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, and mental health. For this Discussion, you take the role of the social worker on the case and interpret Paula’s case using two of these lenses.By Day 3Post how you, as a social worker, might interpret the needs of Paula Cortez, the client, through the two cultural lenses you selected. Then, explain how, in general, you would incorporate multiple perspectives of a variety of stakeholders and/or human services professionals as you treat clients.Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Is torturing puppies for fun wrong independently of whatever Nick thinks and decides about it, or is it wrong just because Nick thinks and decides it’s wrong?

Nick is a very unique human being. Nick was born with the superhuman gift of absolute power – he can do anything. The leaders of the world have sought out Nick’s help to decide once and for all what is right and wrong. So, Nick gets to work creating moral laws that will apply to all – whatever he comes up with must be followed by everyone.First, Nick decides that torturing puppies for fun is wrong, anywhere at anytime. Juliette, a philosophy student at Ballard State University, sees some problems with this though. Juliette believes that torturing puppies cannot be objectively wrong based on whatever Nick thinks is right or wrong. However, Juliette recognizes that Nick is all-powerful so there can’t be any morally objective laws that don’t come directly from Nick’s own decisions about morality (that is, there can’t be any objective moral laws independent of Nick).What do you think? Is what Nick decides is right and wrongactuallyright or wrong? Is torturing puppies for fun wrong independently of whatever Nick thinks and decides about it, or is it wrongjust becauseNick thinks and decides it’s wrong?
