Building a Sustainable Business Assignment Guide
Your task is to choose a company/business that operates multinational and carryout research on how the organisation's CSR activities, policies, and practices contribute to the sustainability of the business. From the research, complete the following two tasks.
Task 1: Prepare a written report that covers:
An overview of the business/company you selected with its CSR policy (Must be multinational)
Explain how CSR contributes to the company's future sustainability. Give examples where appropriate.
How does the company rank with regard to ESG in its industry against its competitors? Explain the reasons behind the ranking.
Describe specific examples of corporate actions that resulted in the company's current CSR performance.
Does a company's approach to CSR influence your purchasing decisions? Why or why not?
Explain challenges of the company in meeting societal expectations for CSR.
The 2600-word report should be written in the appropriate report format, consisting of a title page, a table of contents, the main body of the work using appropriate headings and subheadings covering the above six points, and a reference list.
Task 2: Presentation (Written and Oral)
In a group of 3 - 4 prepare an annotated PowerPoint presentation that provides an overview of CSR practices of a company of your choice. Prepare a fully annotated PowerPoint presentation that provides an overview of CSR practices of your chosen company. Research the company's record in the area of CSR and be sure to look at both their domestic as well as their international reputation.
The PowerPoint presentation should include 7-9 slides maximum (equivalent to 400 words excluding Table of Contents Slide and Reference Slide).
The presentation slides should be attached to the report as an appendix. Include speaker notes at the bottom of each slide to explain the key points on the slide. Keep the slides succinct and you can use bullet points where necessary.
You would be required to make a 9-minute oral presentation in class from your PowerPoint slides (Introduction slide - 2min, one slide having summary of main points - 4mins and a conclusion slide - 1min and 3min for question and answer). This would be a group presentation of 3 - 4 students but you are to individually prepare your speaker notes that would have to be submitted with PowerPoint slides in the summative.
