Assessment Task 2 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

Grow Consultants specialises in leadership consultancy and has been operational for the last five years.

It offers a range of services which support companies to:

assess leadership behaviour of existing managers and their performance metrics
design and implement customised leadership programs based on the assessment.

Services are offered Australia-wide, with consultants flying in to conduct specific training with companies, as well as offering regular workshops at the company’s premises. To date, technology (for example, webinars) has not been employed in training.

The company also writes and produces books on a range of topics about leadership. Currently the company has ten publications, which are published through a publishing house in the USA (Hozit Publishers). One of the Principal Consultants is American and knew these publishers. The cost of publishing the books and shipping to Australia is about the same as it would be to use a publisher in Australia.

The books are produced using non-recycled paper and are transported via air to Grow Management Consultants office. They are then distributed by post to customers from the Grow Management Consultants’ office. As sales have been slow for the books, the company has also been exploring options for e-books.

The company was established by its Principal Consultants, Paul Burns and Sammy Martin, both of whom are Directors. The company also employs four Senior Consultants, an Operations Manager, an Office Manager, Administration Officer and a Receptionist.

The office building is owned by the company and is located in an outer lying metropolitan suburb. All staff drive to work in their own cars and there is on-site parking. The nearest railway station is 10 minutes’ walk from the office.

Paul Burns has recently attended a Sustainable Business workshop and is keen to implement sustainable practices throughout the business. The strategic plan has also been recently updated and has been influenced by Paul’s attendance at the workshop. It includes the following statement as part of the mission statement:

We are committed, as a business, to the well-being of both economic and ecological systems, of both humans and other living things.

However, there are no specific actions indicated in the Strategic Plan and so, at present, the statement appears to be paying lip service only.

Paul is keen to develop a sustainability policy and procedures that address all aspects of the business including, as a minimum: travel, purchasing, office energy use, office supplies, and cleaning.

However, Paul also has specifically stated that he does not want to incur costs in developing policy and procedure and that all the work must be developed in-house, therefore consultants must not be used.

Current issues and practices within the organisation are as follows.

There is older style flore scent lighting in all offices, staff room and bathroom. These lights are often left on after the workday has finished.
There are no formal energy usage procedures for staff or signage to remind staff.
The company does not have a policy for purchasing equipment and buys equipment when required; often purchasing whatever is on special at the time.
Both vehicles are now five years old and need to be upgraded.
Staff buy stationary requirements on an adhoc basis, often resulting in large stocks of items such as notepads and A grade printer paper.
There is a waste bin and recycling bins, which are mostly usedcorrectly.
Catering is provided by an external caterer with all plates and cups supplied(plastic).
The office is cleaned once a week by contract cleaners who use regular cleaning products.

Current company procedures for developing policies and procedures are as follows:

The need for the policy and procedure should be established and a preliminary briefing report developed.
This should be discussed at a meeting with the senior management team consisting of at least one of the Principal Consultants. Another staff member should also be selected to ensure representation of all staff.

Complete the following activities:

Develop a briefing report.

Review the case study information provided and conduct research using the Internet or any other source of information to identify the following:

Relevant environmental and sustainability legislation, regulations and codes of practice
Sources of information on sustainability, including incorporating sustainability into business planning and using it as an opportunity to identify new business initiatives.
Sustainability policies and procedures developed by other organisations
Life cycle mapping processes.

Review the information on the following websites:

https://www.business.gov.au/risk-management/environmental-impact/environmental-management/environmental-legislation-licences-and-permits http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/services-and-advice/business/energy-and-materials-efficiency-for-business/resources-and-tools/life-cycle-management

Using your research and analysis, develop a briefing report to present at a senior management meeting. The purpose of the briefing report will be to provide relevant information about sustainability, including legislation and to seek input into the development of the policy and procedure.

Use the Briefing Report Template to guide your work.

Your briefing report should address the following:

Introduction, including current organisational practices.
Key sustainability facts and figures and the benefits to businesses of implementing sustainable initiatives.
How sustainability can be built into business planning and can inform business

opportunities to reflect the organisation’s commitment to sustainability.

Legal requirements in relation to workplace sustainability relevant to Grow Management Consultants, as well as any relevant regulations and codes of practices.
Details of three sustainability policies and procedures researched and inclusions within the policy and procedures.
An overview of lifecycle mapping, including lifestyle stages, lifecycle map,lifecycle matrix.
Identification of the most effective strategies to reduce environmental impact (use the Sustainability Victoria website resources to assist you to complete this task). This should include, as a minimum, strategies to minimise resource use and to reduce toxic material and hazardous chemical use. Provide an example to illustrate this concept for the production of the books sold by Grow Management Consultants. Attach your example to your report as appendices; you should complete the life cycle map and life cycle matrix and mitigating strategies. Example actions should be included as below.
Example sustainability actions to inform the sustainability action plan for the next 12 months. You should identify at least five ideas initially, including identifying priority actions and longer-term actions.
Recommendations on suitable performance indicators that can be used to measure environmental performance once the policy and procedure is implemented.
Options for strategies that could be implemented to ensure that resource efficiency within the business is continually reviewed and improved.

Assessment Task 4 Instructions

Complete the following activities:

Undertake an inspection of 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 RTO facility using the environmental sustainability and resource Usage Record Template.

Record at least 3 actual or potential environmental sustainability and resource usage issues that you found during activity one.

Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the inspection and will observe you conducting the inspection.

Environmental Sustainability and Resource Usage Record

Areas of RTO & practices reviewed	Provide a brief description of the issue in this section.
Use of consumables/ materials/ technology/ equipment · Identify equipment that use energy and determine which equipment uses the most/least energy? · Are switches left on overnight/weekend? · Do staff use the sleep mode/screen saver? · What practices are currently in place to help minimise energy wastage?	The equipment that utilizes energy are PCs, TV, lights, water purifiers, printers, and Wi-Fi switches which are needed for smooth tasks in a RTO. Most energy is utilized by the lights, TV, and PCs while the base energy is utilized by the water purifiers. The most extreme among them is the PCs while the least among them is the Wi-Fi which utilizes somewhere around 6 Watts.
Energy usage e.g. water, electricity gas · How is energy used on a daily basis? · What things/tasks use up the most energy? · Are switches left on overnight/weekend? · Are staff using energy sensibly? · What practices are in place to support effective energy use?	RSB adopts a reasonable strategy in controlling the use of power in its grounds in Australia. The grounds has a grounded lab and homerooms with free Wi-Fi office yet to limit its power utilization, it urges the understudies to bring their PCs from homes.
Waste · Describe workplace waste. · How is it disposed of? · Are staff conscious of waste management practices e.g. recycling, reuse, disposal?	Work environment squanders are those squanders that are not utilized and kept in a space making the whole region messy and blocked.
Date of inspection or review:	Completed by:

Develop a memo for staff about best practice sustainabilityprocedures

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.

Memorandum

Date: 26-11-2021

To: All staff

From: Operations manager of Grow Management Consultants

Subject: Addressing the issue of high electricity charges

I tracked that the greater part of the staff is adjusting the rehearses of supportability and is utilizing the least power. Students are bringing their PC’s and also the media gadgets from their homes.

About 14.6 giga liters waster was wasted by the enterprises in Australia in the year 2017.

Utilization of water must be supported for avoiding the shortage of water. For decreasing the utilization of water few steps are taken, like use water only when it is required. Use storage relocation gadget. These arrangements are conventional and can be applied to the RSB.

Develop a sustainabilityregister.

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.

Original issues	Opportunity	Actions	Deliverables	Responsibility	Priority	Timeline	Complete
There is traditional lighting in the washroom and staff rooms. Which leads to high power bill.	Reduction of energy used	when not required,Switch off the unused light.	About 10% of electricity is contributed by appliances which are on stand-by.	Every staff member and learners.	2	5 months	1^st week of 2021
The water utilization is a major worry for RSB	Smart ways of conserving water	Using cistern displacement device to reduce the flow of water	Reducing water usage lowers electricity usage by 47%.	Every staff member and learners.	1	3 months	Last week of 2021
An excessive amount of reliance on work papers.	instead of using work papers, Use online sharing platforms to share documents	Use online tools like Google Docs to update the work documents.	Using online platforms would lower the usage of printers	Every staff member and learners.	3	2 months	November 2021
