Abstract

This paper identifies an approach on how to deliver sustainability within a large organisation, from initially a low base knowledge level. A summary of the overall methodology and steps in the process are presented. The paper sets out the sequence of events that could take place, from how to get started to some of the leadership challenges that you could expect to face. Clear improvements are demonstrated, which could be replicated. The paper concludes that with the ever-increasing role sustainability plays within a business, with the right mindset all businesses can benefit from the development and implementation of a clear sustainability plan.
