Assignment Brief
| Assessment Information – What you need to do | |
| This assignment is an individual assignment. This assignment requires you to write a report on The British Heart Foundation which is a charity organisation in the United Kingdom. It funds research to beat heartbreak from the heart and circulatory diseases and their risk factors. Task 1: Critically evaluate the sustainability performance and reporting practices of BHF employing the most relevant Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicators, using BHF’s annual reports of recent years (i.e., 2020 and 2021. BHF’s annual reports can be accessed through the following links: https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/annual-report-2021 https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/annual-report-2020 https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/about-us/annual-reports Task 2: Using a stakeholder theoretical framework, critically assess the trends in and patterns of the sustainability performance and reporting of BHF in recent years. In other words, you need to determine the recent trends and patterns of BHF sustainability performance and then critically discuss how government, shareholders, and civil society organisations, among others, contributed to this trend in such performance. Support your answer with citations from BHF’s annual reports and relevant literature. Task 3: Given the charitable nature of non-profit organisations, someone might argue that BHF will never be interested in achieving all three sustainability areas (economic, social and environmental areas). To what extent do you agree or disagree with that statement? Support your answer with citations from BHF’s annual reports and relevant literature. |
