Select a sustainability concern that is important to you and prepare a 5 – 10 page paper related to this.

Select a sustainability concern that is important to you and prepare a 5 – 10 page (single-spaced, 11 font, standard margins) paper related to this.

Here is the structure for the paper:

1: Select and describe a sustainability concern (that is, what is?)

2: Reflect on your experience here at QU (e.g., in your prior classes) and elsewhere and describe why the concern you selected is (or should be) important to (a) you, (b) society, and (c) corporations from a moral (e.g., you can reference a moral theory), social, and/or economic perspective (select at least two of these).

3: Select and briefly describe a corporation that you believe can (and should address) this concern; this can be, but need not be, a corporation that you work for.

4: Discuss how the corporation that you selected can benefit from responding to this concern – or,
if it can’t benefit, why this is acceptable.

5: Discuss how (a) society and/or (b) the environment can benefit from the corporation responding to this concern.

For example: reduced emissions/pollution can benefit…

6: Identify and describe the stakeholders that the corporation that you selected will need to consider and engage in developing a strategy to respond to this concern. Why are these important?

For example: drivers, customers, etc…these people are important for reasons X and Y

7: Propose a concise strategic plan to address this concern in the corporation that you selected; in this plan, take the role of a sustainability consultant and offer a recommendation for how executives in the corporation should, e.g., “champion” sustainable development in the corporation, lead the transformation, and connect the sustainability strategy to the broader strategy of the corporation.
