Description of the task
In this assessment item you will examine issues of local and global significance, and assess the extent to which current business
practices contribute to collective wellbeing and sustainable and socially responsible outcomes. Selecting from a list of businesses
provided to you, you will analyse a business to develop a report which investigates its CSR performance. The issues can be areas the
company is addressing well and/or areas which present opportunities for improvement. You are expected to draw on academic texts to
support your claims.
Recommended Structure
Title: Provide a short, informative title for the Report.
Introduction: Inform the reader of the purpose of the Report in three or four sentences.
Background: Summarise the company background in terms of its key activities, mission/vision, and key competition. This section
should include only salient facts and relevant details relating to the report focus.
Business Model: Provide a brief overview of the business model the company has adopted.
Key areas of focus: Identify 2-3 issues relating to sustainability or social responsibility that the company needs to address. Explain
why this is a focal area and provide some broad measures or goals against which business performance could be assessed for this
issue.
Performance in key areas: Using evidence (data and references) to support your analysis and linking this to academic literature,
evaluate the performance of the company for each issue you have identified.
Emerging Issues: This section should identify and succinctly discuss emerging issues that the business will need to monitor and
potentially take action on in the future.
Reference List: You will need to reference throughout your report. In-text referencing and reference list should follow the APA
format. The reference list does not count toward the word limit.
Tips
A case study will be worked through in the tutorials.
You must choose from the 2 companies listed on Blackboard.
The report should be prepared using publicly available data only. Do not contact any organisation or individual directly for
information. Use only information that is publicly available (e.g. websites, media and other reports).
The ISO26000 will be a useful guide to possible areas of focus and performance criteria.
