Select accompany or organization which has a clearly stated sustainability policy. This could be a private company such as Shell or Starbucks, a government, city or state, or an organization such as the NRA or NBA. The policy should state the aims of the organization and the plans for sustainability. Using what you learn from the textbook throughout the semester, along with additional research, evaluate the claims made by the organization and the effectiveness of the policy. Questions to consider include the following:
Does the policy address all aspects of sustainability? Explain what the aims are and the sustainability goals they address. Make sure to use your own words when discussing the policy.
How long has the policy been in place? Have they made any updates or improvements to the policy? Do they provide information about the success of the policy over time?
Is the policy adequate to address the issues highlighted? Are there areas of sustainability they have failed to address?
What more could be done to increase the sustainability of the organization? Provide specific examples considering factors such as potential cost, organization future and customer or community demands.
