Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.

Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.

Each article should:

1. Have Harvard style of referencing

2. Part 1: Description of the content of the article/main themes

3. Part 2: Analysis of the article (point out the strengths and weaknesses in the argument/thesis)

4. Part 3: Usefulness for the final project as follows. (This means you should fully understand follow project and choose and write articles are useful for the final project. It is very important)

Research one company that claims implementation of ecologically sustainable policies and actions. E. G you can use either Tesla Motors, Fairtrade, Body Shop or any other company with legitimate claims.

Part 1

Using the example of the chosen company, assess the 3 Corporate Social Responsibility factors that influence corporate activities of your chosen company in the area of ecological sustainability. They are: economic, ethical and discretionary (week 3 reading)

Part 2

Based on Readings (Weeks 1 to 10), design a sustainability plan for that company (for example you can focus on clean technology, sustainability vision, pollution prevention, product stewardship, etc). While creating the plan remember to include aims, objectives, strategies, tactics and evaluation. If the company already has a clear sustainability portfolio, analyse it according to the above criteria and suggest possible improvements for each.

Part 3

Examine the possible advantages and difficulties in integrating your sustainability portfolio into the company's strategy.
