Solving a Problem

Overview

The assignment in this unit asks you to bridge the academic and business worlds: to take what you learned in the readings and your experience learning about opening a new business and propose a solution in business terms. Specifically, how can Regina’s newly opened business begin a corporate sustainability program?

Instructions

Review the following from this unit’s studies before continuing:

“Coca-Cola Launches Sustainability Programs.”
“Sustainability a Walmart Pillar.”
“Shipping FedEx Envelopes Is Now Carbon-Neutral.”
“Small, Local es Jump on the Sustainability Bandwagon.”
The three organizations mentioned in these articles have discovered there are advantages to incorporating business practices with supporting the community in lasting endeavors that sustain a business for new generations. The articles present views on the value added when an organization invests in corporate sustainability. It is only within the last two decades that environmental sustainability has become a topic on the corporate agenda. Today, some consumers choose their providers based on a company’s carbon footprint.

For this assignment:

Create a heading for each of the first three companies (Coca-Cola, Walmart, and FedEx).
Review the articles and present short bulleted lists for each organization, outlining three initiatives in which each organization is involved.
Create a heading called Recommendations.
Based on the article, “Small, Local es Jump on the Sustainability Bandwagon,” recommend two initiatives Regina might undertake to immediately begin building corporate sustainability in her new business. This part of your paper should be 5–8 paragraphs.
Your assignment will be scored according to the following criteria:

Identify initiatives involved in developing a sustainability program.
Evaluate information sources to determine sustainability initiatives.
Recommend sustainability strategies for a new small business.
Communicate using correct spelling, grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Refer to the Solving a Problem Scoring Guide to ensure that your work meets the grading criteria for this assignment.
