Instructions to Assessor:

If the learner is unable to perform the activity in the workplace, they will need to be provided with an example workplace that they can develop a sustainability policy for. They will need access to the internet for researching their chosen area and a small group of peers for a role-play activity.

Equipment needed:

• Access to the internet
• Small group of peers for a role-play activity.

1. Identify and document one area within your workplace that you can develop a sustainability policy for. If you are not in a workplace you can refer to one you are familiar with or your assessor will provide you with an example workplace.
2. Using the internet, research any relevant laws, legislation, codes of conduct or regulatory requirements for the area you have chosen. Make sure you take notes and attach them to your workbook.
3. This is a role-play activity to be conducted as part of a small group of peers. For this activity, you will discuss the area you have chosen in Question 1 and the findings from your research and get their input on how you can lessen the environmental impact. The roles to include are:

• Internal stakeholder an employee from the business
• External stakeholder a customer.

4. Using the information you have gathered in questions 1 to 3, develop a sustainability policy.

Within this policy, you should include:
