Grow Consultants specialises in leadership consultancy, and has been operational for the last five years.
It offers a range of services which support companies to:
assess leadership behaviour of existing managers and their performance metrics
design and implement customized leadership programs based on the assessment.
Services are offered Australia-wide, with consultants flying in to conduct specific training with companies, as
well as offering regular workshops at the company’s premises. To date, technology (for example, webinars)
has not been employed in training.
The company also writes and produces books on a range of topics about leadership. Currently the company
has ten publications, which are published through a publishing house in the USA (Hozit Publishers). One of
the Principal Consultants is American and knew these publishers. The cost of publishing the books and
shipping to Australia is about the same as it would be use a publisher in Australia.
The books are produced using non-recycled paper and are transported via air to Grow Management
Consultants office. They are then distributed by post to customers from the Grow Management Consultants’
office. As sales have been slow for the books, the company has also been exploring options for e-books.
The company was established by its Principal Consultants, Paul Burns and Sammy Martin, both of whom
are Directors. The company also employs four Senior Consultants, an Operations Manager, an Office
Manager, Administration Officer and a Receptionist.
The office building is owned by the company and is located in an outer lying metropolitan suburb. All staff
drive to work in their own cars and there is on-site parking. The nearest railway station is 10 minutes’ walk
from the office.
Paul Burns has recently attended a Sustainable Business workshop and is keen to implement sustainable
practices throughout the business. The strategic plan has also been recently updated and has been
influenced by Paul’s attendance at the workshop. It includes the following statement as part of the mission
statement:
We are committed, as a business, to the well-being of both economic and ecological systems,
of both humans and other living things,
However, there are no specific actions indicated in the Strategic Plan and so, at present, the statement
appears to be paying lip service only.
Paul is keen to develop a sustainability policy and procedures that address all aspects of the business
including, as a minimum: travel, purchasing, office energy use, office supplies, and cleaning. However, Paul
also has specifically stated that he does not want to incur costs in developing policy and procedure and that
all the work must be developed in-house, therefore consultants must not be used.
Current company procedures for developing policies and procedures are as follows:
• The need for the policy and procedure should be established and a preliminary briefing report
developed.
• This should be discussed at a meeting with the senior management team consisting of at least one
of the Principal Consultants. Another staff member should also be selected to ensure representation
of all staff.
Using your research and analysis, develop a briefing report to present at a senior management
meeting. The purpose of the briefing report will be to provide relevant information about
sustainability, including legislation and to seek input into the development of the policy and
procedure.

Assume that the sustainability policy and procedure you developed has been implemented, as well as
findings from regular sustainability inspections. Sustainability initiatives implemented include:
• Energy audit and all recommendations implemented including signage about energy use (e.g.
switch off lights at night, turn down brightness, turn off taps)
• Recycling policy introduced and three more recycling bins introduced.
• Green purchasing policy developed (on staff intranet, email sent to staff to advise).
• Green transport policy developed and implemented (on staff intranet, email sent to staff to advise).
A staff survey has been undertaken (results provided separately), as well as an energy audit.
Actions implemented:
• replace halogen downlights with energy efficient downlights and transformers
• connect to natural gas, converting to an energy source with one-third of the greenhouse gas
emissions of electricity from coal
• replace electric storage hot water heater with instant hot water replace air conditioner with a
more efficient inverter unit.
Note: Four new staff members employed may account for increase. Energy targets were not adjusted to
account for the new staff.
The email text should briefly explain the purpose and contents of the report and summarise the
key changes you have made to the policy and procedures, ensuring that you clearly explain why
changes were made.
