Initiatives for sustainability for Mac Ville
The company had committed itself in coffee retailing during its market penetration in the
beverage based market using its formulated strategies. The company was disappointed because
of lack of efficiency for the formulated strategies hence the company had to take an immediate
action to ensure that the formulated strategy was effective to enhance the achievement of the
formulated goals and objectives by the company.
The company commenced with the field of water management where the strategies formulated
were evaluated thoroughly to ascertain the effectiveness towards the achievement of the set goals
and objectives. The company evaluated the electrical department as well since water and
electricity are vital components for the effectiveness of operations within the company hence
they had to be given the first priority by the company. Furthermore, water and electricity is very
important for enhancing sustainable practices within the environment.
Bell& Morse (20 12) state that in order to achieve water sustainability the initiatives shown
below are very important:
 There should be a reduction in the water wastage.
 Water should be recycled.
 Water should be conserved for further usage.
The achievement of electricity sustainability requires the following initiatives which are
vital:
 Enhancing the usage of appliances that are save energy.
 Using the system of refrigeration that is energy efficient which implies doing away
with the old refrigeration system.
