Grow Management Consultants (GMC) engage in activities that impact the environment, use resources and create waste and emissions. Examples include using non recycled paper as well as use of vehicles. Creating a Sustainability Management System will allow GMC to control and monitor such impacts and at the same time achieve environmental objectives. This policy should be communicated to stakeholders and implemented and reviewed on a regular basis. Sustainability facts and figures Some key facts related to sustainability include: - By recycling 1 plastic bottle, enough energy can be saved to power the computer for 25 minutes - The amount of waste deposited in landfills in Australia increased by 12% from 19 million tonnes to 21.3 million tonnes between 2001 and 2007 - Recycling a glass container saves enough energy to power a 100Watt light bulb for 4 hours - A tree makes about 3000 papers - More than 6 billion plastic bags are used each year - If you use recycled paper, the new production material uses 99% less water and 50% less energy in the production process than paper. Sustainability benefits - The company is seen as environmentally responsible as the business has a better reputation in the community - Savings from applying costs such as using two-sided printing - More efficient and competitive - Attracting and retaining employees improves customer sales and loyalty - Increase supplier commitment Business planning, opportunities and sustainability Sustainability should be built into business planning and should be used to inform business opportunities.

A key feature of advanced and automated technologies is that their operators and managers increasingly move away from the processes for which they are responsible. With older technologies, operators can see and touch what they have controlled or produced. Mechanisms such as gears and pistons were visible, and their means of action and control were evident. Mental images of the way things have worked and how they can go wrong were easily learned and easily shared. People, both alone and in teams, were an integral part of the control loop that drove these technologies. Performance Indicators Ways to check our indicators: - Review energy bills / audit bills: Energy audit or review is the first step taken to gain an understanding of current and past energy use and to identify areas of wastage and opportunities for possible conservation of energy. - Greenhouse emissions: The release of major gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and greenhouse gases is regulated. - Water and waste minimization: key information by breaking down emissions, releases and produced waste in environmental modules. - Carbon reduction: The use of public transport to work or replace older vehicles helps reduce the carbon footprint. - Options for strategies that can be implemented to ensure that resource efficiency within the business is continuously reviewed and improved. Options for strategies to ensure continuous improvement of resource efficiency It is important to provide recommendations on malleable performance in order to measure environmental performance along with implementing policies and procedures. Possible strategies to ensure resource efficiency are: - Provide adequate training and demonstration to all employees - Organizing meetings to resolve all issues arising in the organization - Measurement and monitoring to identify issues and targets and improve performance - Implementing compliance and reporting mechanisms - Leadership and workplace culture that encourages employees to engage with sustainability practices - Installation of energy-saving bulbs (LEDs), automatic switches will also be useful to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. - Upgrading older vehicles for less pollution. - Effectiveness: It is important to examine and ensure the effectiveness of implementing the principles which helps to maintain about the policy statement. - Deadlines: When making a strategy it is important to check the time frame so that it is a good time to implement the strategy. Policy options There are three options for the following sustainability policies: Environmental related policies: Grow Consultant Management environmental policy helps to reduce toxic material and hazardous chemical use and reduce resource use. The main objective of this policy is to identify the waste stream leaving the site. © J+S Learningwork 2017

BSBSUS501 Develop workplace policy and procedures for sustainability 2) Usage Record Template Areas of RTO & practices reviewed Provide a brief description of the issue in this section. Use of consumables/ materials/ technology/ equipment  Identify equipment that use energy and determine which equipment uses the most/least energy?  Are switches left on overnight/weekend ?  Do staff use the sleep mode/screen saver?  What practices are currently in place to help minimise energy wastage? We can recognize that in general, all electrical installations are new, so almost all appliances use the same energy. This, it will stay overnight on weekends. • Yes, all computers have sleep and saver mode, and are always used. • Trying to turn off the lights before turning off and the air conditioning is not so strong Energy usage e.g. water, electricity gas  How is energy used on a daily basis?  What things/tasks use up the most energy?  Are switches left on overnight/weekend ?  Are staff using energy sensibly?  What practices are in place to support effective energy use? - Are switches left overnight / on weekends? - Are employees using energy wisely? - What practices are there to support effective energy use? The energy commonly used on a daily basis is fine, as water is not a big deal at school, it is used for dishes and hand washing. Dishwasher, but that's when its dishes are full, to make the energy and water salty. Sometimes this happens, as I said earlier. Lights that have not been used are being tried to be switched off. Waste  Describe workplace waste.  How is it disposed of?  Are staff conscious of waste management practices e.g. recycling, reuse, disposal? The big waste is with paper to dry hands - How is it disposed of? - Are staff conscious of waste management practices e.g. recycling, reuse, disposal? It is free and you can take as much as you need. Sometimes people are not conscious Date of inspection or review : 21/02/2021 Completed by: 22/02/2021 3) Develop a memo for staff about best practice sustainability procedures. © J+S Learningwork 2017

New employees have also been selected for the company which has been working for more than 3 months. Seminars should be organized to guide new employees and make them aware of sustainability policies and procedures. Analysis of energy audit data and achievements against targets Achievements against targets are listed below: - Cost energy is reduced by 35% in 4 months. - The publication of EBOOKS takes a lot of time but fortunately management consultants develop who are able to meet the goal of enabling EBOOKS within 9 months which is more than 2 months from the targeted days. - The procurement policy was successfully developed within 2 months and was implemented 2 weeks after the development of the policy. Employees are not following the purchasing policies properly due to rising cost of new purchasing department. - Catering and cleaning teams were developed in less than 4 months and came in handy at the beginning of the 5th month. The quality of the catering is well liked by the staff and stakeholders. The office area is now cleaner and healthier due to the new cleaning team. The cost is also reduced due to the internal teams of the organization. Recommendations for additional actions that need to be taken based on a review of the data - Seminars and appropriate guidance for new employees of Growth Management Consultants. - More signage should be displayed to close the switch to achieve better implementation of the policy and to achieve 100% output. - Purchase costs should be reduced so that employees do not buy from unauthorized dealers - More efficient products should be used for cleaning so that the office area looks much cleaner than before Summary of success of sustainability policy and procedure based on analysis. © J+S Learningwork 2017
