Task Summary
Investigate and develop in 1,200 words (+/–10%) a sustainability strategy and plan for engineering and
technical operations in an organisation of your choice. The sustainability strategy needs to describe
the current situation, the desired future and the management action plan that will be implemented
to achieve the desired future.
Please refer to the Task Instructions (below) for details on how to complete this task.
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to research and develop a sustainability strategy
and action plan for an organisation using strategic tools, methodologies and processes. Sustainability
strategies and action plans are important to engineering and technology organisations because they
provide management with a set of decisions about current and future actions that need to be
implemented to ensure that organisations meet their sustainability targets and objectives in a way
that meets the expectations of community, business and organisation stakeholders.
