11. Select 2 of the sustainability initiatives and develop procedures for their implementation. The procedures should include:

Agreed outcomes

Performance indicators

Activities to be undertaken

Assigned responsibilities

Record-keeping, review and improvement processes

12.The sustainability initiative to install a 150-megalitre rainwater tank needs to be reviewed because of cost, logistics and outcomes. The following points need to be considered in the review:

There is a scale problem in the original policy initiatives as 1mega litre equals 1,000,000 litres

ABC has 150 retail outlets and it is a better outcome to have rainwater collection facilities at each location rather than 1 large tank at the head office The rainwater is intended for use in flushing toilets. Data indicates that the average employee will use 30 litres of water per day in flushing toilets. The typical ABC location has approximately 30 employees

The cost of installing a rainwater tank is estimated to be $1,000 per 5,000 litres

The amount of available space at each location to install a rainwater tank is 10 metres x 10 metres The average rainfall at each location is 700 millimetres per year

The average roof collection area for rainwater at each location is 2000 square metres Mains water is supplied to ABC facilities at an average cost of $2 per 1,000 litres

Replacement of old toilets with new water-efficient models can reduce water consumption by approximately 50 per cent

Installation of new water-efficient toilets can be achieved for approximately $15,000 at each ABC location

Prepare a revised water-saving strategy for inclusion in the ABC sustainability policy. Justify the revised strategy based on calculations and consideration of other water saving options.

13. Review the supplier policy, purchasing policy and purchasing procedures again. Note that these policies contain inconsistent information for evaluating suppliers on their sustainability credentials, and that the purchasing procedures contain no checks that link to sustainability policy. Prepare a revised version of the supplier policy, purchasing policy and procedures that incorporates consideration of suppliers that use packaging made from renewable resource rather than non-renewable resources

14.Consult and communicate effectively with finance manager, business operations manager, project managers, customer service manager and sales manager (your classmates) and CEO (your assessor) to develop, implement, monitor and review the new sustainability policy. You need to ensure your managers are clear about your new policy and answer all their questions.
