Assignment:

The Board of Directors of Devils Corner Wines - the subject of the first Assignment - has now asked you to produce a video for the Board of Directors. The video is to guide them in their decisions about whether, and potentially how, they might produce a publicly available sustainability report.

The organisation has not previously prepared a sustainability report. However, Devils Corner is committed to collect sustainable wine-growing information such as protecting and enhancing the soil, providing vital nutrients, and enhancing soil fertility for long-term wine productivity. They currently collect information for internal purposes about: the demographics of their customers; energy efficiencies/inefficiencies, water use; energy use; CO2 emissions, waste by kind and volume; workplace injuries; training provided to staff (seasonal workers) categorised into type of training and amount spent; donations made to disadvantaged groups by kind and volume; customer satisfaction.

The Board of Directors have specifically asked you to explain to them:

1. why they should consider producing a stand-alone sustainability report;
2. who would, or should, be the main stakeholders to whom the sustainability report is directed;
3. how to determine what information to disclose to the key stakeholders identified above, keeping in mind the required judgements that need to be made about the appropriate 'reporting boundary' of the organisation;
4. whether the information they currently collect from the lifecycle analysis the organisation undertakes on some of the products they acquire should be disclosed, and also, whether information the organisation collects about energy efficiencies/inefficiencies, water use; energy use; CO2 emissions, waste by kind and volume; workplace injuries; training provided to staff (seasonal workers) categorised into type of training and amount spent; donations made to disadvantaged groups by kind and volume; customer satisfaction.
