Assessment - Reflective Journal - Sustainable Business

Assessment Details

Over the first three weeks of this course, students are required to consider the sustainability-related issues and themes explored in the course and reflect on how these issues intersect with the world of business. These reflections are to be presented in a reflective journal.

These themes (including issues, challenges, concepts and approaches) MUST be discussed in terms of their relevance and/or implications for business and may be drawn from those raised in class presentations, discussions and activities, resources provided on the course Moodle page and/or prescribed readings.

Suitable themes for reflection may include:
- Sustainability, the Triple Bottom Line & business;
- The Six Forms of Capital used by businesses;
- The six phases of business approaches to sustainability (Dunphy, Griffiths & Benn, 2003);
- Examples of businesses successfully engaging in sustainable business.

In this assessment task, students are required to demonstrate not only their understandings of the themes but also their consideration of the implications for the business sector and/or the student's current/future role in business. Students should provide their thoughts, feelings, responses, reactions, opinions and ideas on the material explored. Critical thinking should be demonstrated in these reflections.

Verified Expert

A sustainable business is any organization that participates in environmentally friendly or green activities to ensure that all processes, products, and manufacturing activities adequately address current environmental concerns while maintaining a profit. In other words, it is a business that “meets the needs of the present [world] without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.It is the process of assessing how to design products that will take advantage of the current environmental situation and how well a company’s products perform with renewable resources.
