the organization in having a proper utilization of the company resources in the most
feasible way possible.
Sustainability facts and figures
Without the involvement of the organizational sustainability policies, the organization of
Grow Management Consultants was lacking proper sustainability. Which is why, after a
proper discussion and constant monitoring of the operations of the organization, it has
sought after that a proper development plan would be necessary and in this way

of the organization including the proper resource utilization and less to zero wastage of
industry resources, further impacting the environment greatly in the most positive way
possible.

organization that makes sure that the organization properly uses, develops, and protects
the resource utilization in the most feasible way possible so that there is proper utilization
of the resources in every operation of the organization. It provides various benefits to an

Business Sustainability: The sustainability provision will not only improve the
resource utilization of the organization but would also increase the reputation of
the organization while it has been essentially looking for conserving the environment.
Example sustainability policies and procedures
1. The approach for reduce, reuse and recycle: This is the way by which the objective of
minimizing the resource utilization is possible in the proper way (Olinski and Norton
2017). This happens to utilize the resources in the most comprehensive way possible so
that the resource does not witness any kind of wastage in the streamlining of the resources
to attain maximum sustainability.
2. Promoting the proper conservation of the environment and spread awareness:
Sustainability is also achieved with the proper awareness and acquired learning of the
conservation of the environment in the operations performed within the organization.
This would be help in the change of thinking patterns for the employees or all the people
associated with the organization (Smith et al. 2015). This also fulfils the primary objective
of a company in being responsible enough to the society and have a proper establishment
of sustainability.
3. Uniform social, cultural and economic improvement of the stakeholders of the
organization: The development of the organization facilitating only a certain section of
the society is not the proper sustainability gain of the organization. Therefore, the
objective of the company to attain proper sustainability is to make sure that the social,
cultural and economic development occurs uniformly within all the stakeholders of the
organization, that is, every person associated with the organization that is directly or
indirectly associated with the organization or who are affected by the outcomes of the
organization directly or indirectly
Life cycle mapping
Life cycle mapping: This is a simple process by which the organization generates
understanding in the mapping of the life cycle of any implemented plan or the production
of any commodity. This maps the entire life cycle of the product of services provided by
Growth Management Consultants including every stages within the supply chain. These
include the following basic steps:
Life style Stages: It is important to identify the stages in the production or service
life cycle procedure to record them in the linear life cycle procedures. The stages may
include the raw materials, production or manufacturing, Sales and Distribution, Use and
End of Life.
Life cycle map: A life cycle map would be necessary to identify all the intermediate
stages in the production or manufacturing phase that would denote the stages through
which the production or manufacturing process passes through. This would clearly
identify the proper way of utilizing the stages to plan the sustainability in every identified
stage.
Life Cycle Matrix: This identifies the environmental effect in every stage that goes
on with the implementation process.

The key identified legal requirement to establish workplace sustainability can be
identified as the following:
The plan is not affecting the environment in the harmful way.
The plan is authorized by the hierarchy of the business model.
The plan has been agreed to informed to the entire workforce of the organization.
These would not only fulfil the legal requirements for setting up the sustainability plan but
would also affect the business operations in the most positive way possible.
Example sustainability actions to inform action plan.
a. Analyse the technology available currently at the organization
b. Monitor how the technology is being inappropriate for the organization
c. Implement the revised technological changes as per the requirements to make the
implementation process as feasible for the sustainability as possible
d. Maintain the proper utilization of the applied systems to maintain the system properly
for the utilized technology.
e. Analyse the system to find out the outcomes of the resource utilization
Performance Indicators
This would be measurable in the most feasible way possible by examining the proper
utilization of the resources and check if there has been any unnecessary wastage of the
resources or improper utilization. This makes sure that the sustainability objective is
properly achieved from the aspect of resource utilization.

The policy should be established after the proper analysis of the organizational operations
and only the harmful ones should be replaced by sustainable policies.
The likely effectiveness is established by the monitoring of the organization and its
operations and analysing the outcomes to find a positive effect to the organization.
The timeframe would mostly take about 6 months to a calendar year to be properly
implemented (Chofreh and Goni 2017).
The cost of implementation would nearly mount for Growth Management Consultants of
about 70,000 AUD to 90,000 AUD.

policy ensures a proper utilization of the resources of the organization in the most feasible
way possible to make sure that there is no unnecessary wastage of the resources of the
organization from any aspect of the operations conducted within the organization and at
the same time, the environment is conserved in the most feasible way possible with the
established policy and the accordingly conducted business operations.
