Select a business, government or non-government organisation operating in Australia, the Pacific or Asia which is implementing specific projects to improve the sustainability of its operations. The projects must have strong environmental, social and economic objectives. One-dimensional economic or social projects are not suitable for this assignment. It is also not sufficient to select an organisation in the social welfare or sustainability sectors unless that organisation is implementing specific projects to improve the sustainability of its own operations.

- Identify the major causes of the organisation’s unsustainability over the life cycle of its main products and/or services. (5 marks)
- Describe one sustainability project which has been implemented by the organisation including objectives, costs, implementation timeframe and specific environmental, social and/or economic elements of the project. (5 marks)
- Identify actual and expected project outcomes. (5 marks)
- How has the project contributed to removing causes of unsustainability identified in part 2 and has it been successful in doing so? (5 marks)
