Introduction
This chapter discusses Tiny Opera organisations sustainability incorporation in their
company policy statements. There is also an outline of how the newly hired sustainability
projects managers have develop the policy in favour of their company. Objectives are the
specific action items on how you will achieve your goal. The objectives should be measureable,
achievable, relative to the goal and timing, meaning they should call out specifically what you
plan to do, how you plan to do and within what time frame. It is important to produce objectives
as precise as promising that one can measure feat and track how the company are progressing
next to company goals. The draft outline of the proposed policy system is added to the report,
how they can communicate and enforce the policies are also discussed. There is also predicted
effective outcome of generalising the policies annual profit, which will affect the annual turnover
of the company (Schulteet al., 2014).
Policies of Tiny Opera
The theatre has been built on the vision of a performer and operating on a town from
1970’s. The company has more than 10 personnel’s working in the company including part
timers. There are three policy development plan that is suggested after reading the current
practises that are being conducted in the organisation (Hák and Moldan, 2016). After brief
discussion with the business development manager Nic Tan this has been suggested that, some
operational problems have lead to misuse of company resources. In addition, the environmental
sustainability needs to be regarded while developing the policy. This will lead to Socio-economic
development as, professional training of the company’s internal staff and handling customer
representative programs will lead to overall development of the organisation. This policy will

also include more business opportunity for the local community area (Weber and Rohracher,
2012). The right mix of rules and policies will contribute to public policy goals. Theatrics is a
dying form of art but keeping it alive in the society has a societal benefit that contributes to the
business reputation (Zheng and Kammen, 2014). Providing entertainment in this form to keep
innovating and integrating the strategic environment sustainability drivers is also important.
Keeping the classic trends growing by theatrics is also drives the socio-economic impacts.
Community gathering and social events. Increasing accountability and efficiency of the internal
people through the code of conduct. Environmental protection plan and transparency in dialogue
and lasting stakeholder’s relationship (Van et al.,2012)..

How do I developed the sustainability program for the company
The company is focused on increasing its sustainability. It has some operational issues
that have affected its annual turnover (Weber and Rohracher, 2012). They are mainly focused on
the principles of efficiency. Waste management is also needs to be considered for the future
development of the company’s development programs. Reduction in misuse of the company
resources, were also in the agenda to develop the sustainability(Van et al.,2012). Employing
lifecycle management resources are also there to increase strategically improving the
development policies. This is also a good process to increase the internal environment of the
company. Improving the cultural benefit by their business was also there to keep the policy plan
in mind (Swartjes, 2012).
Three-policy option for Tiny Opera
The company rents their property for various theatrics events. For fluency in operation,
the company can increase the value framework of their policy. There is three-policy option
proposed in the following text for Tiny Opera.
1. Increasing digital medium of communication for internal work process– this will increase the
usage of safe medium to communicate.
Scope and objective of the policy - The usage of paper in the company will decrease.
Thus, the rubbish related to usage of paper would decrease, which will also lead to
physical communication medium expenses. As online internal communication is
reasonable. It can be predicted that it will also have a positive impact on the revenue
turnover (Wieczorek and Hekkert, 2012).
2. Lifecycle management programs - from the discussion with the manager it is clear that the
company wants to focus on the appropriate management ethics (Murphy, 2012). Show of support

from the management, including the mark of highest-level executive in the subdivision or
company illustrate superior management sustain and buy-in for sustainability all through the
company operations.
Scope and objective of the policy - The lifecycle interprets the recycling programs, which
ensure the goodwill of the company. There is also business reputation of the company that
gets affected. Tiny Opera runs on the visibility and community people’s word of mouth.
Therefore, a better goodwill will also increase the market opportunity of the theatrics
performances (Van et al.,2012).
3. Improvement in Corporate social responsibility programs and societal marketing – the
company is currently operating in culture improvement events while keeping in mind the classic
trends of theatrics(Griggs et al., 2013).
Scope and objective of the policy The vision and mission of the company was to promote
and increase the opera culture too as it was established when opera was a sign of watching
rich culture and theatrics. Therefore, having the CSR responsibility focused on having
maintaining a dying art culture can add to the social marketing improvement (Swartjes,
2012). Thus, it will also have a indirect impact on promoting the events.

Strategies for promoting awareness and increase sustainability policy
The proposed policy for the work environment needs to be effectively communicated to
the stakeholders of the company. There needs to be two kind of promoting activities. The
promotion for internal stakeholders and other for the external stakeholders to increase awareness
and visibility of the theatre.
 The internal communication strategies needs to be effective to enforce the policy get
started in practise. This can be done by the giving the heads up in staff orientation
programs. Displaying the objectives to the staff and promoting within organisation is also
needed. Not only awareness but also compliance of the policies by the staff and customer
is needed. Emphasizing the policy enforcements reviewing the policy taking in to
consideration, any audit findings annually as minimum expenses. The provisions of
appropriate training and government enforcement policies are also effective in this
matter. Information dissemination in this matter is also needed. Cross-departmental
training, promoting by verbal and notifying by official mail can be applied in the
everyday activity.
 Promoting to the external stakeholders of the company can be done by offering
newsletters, hoarding the statements in short in the visible posters of the theater platform
or in the office-building premise are the full proof plan can be initiated(Wieczorek and
Hekkert, 2012). The flagship owner of the company is exclusive and any strategic
method can be used in the company’s perspective.

Strategies the impact to develop the policy
For implementation of the companies, developed policy is crucial for their own organizational
development. This will also include the measurements of new policy impact (Griggs et al.,
2013). The promotion planning is not enough the compliance needs to come from the staff itself.
The stakeholder’s engagement of the company’s new policy is also needed. This will ensure the
increase in company’s overall performance improvisation (Serrat, 2017). Better using policy on
air conditioners, recyclable paper usage and encouraging visitors to consider sustainability in
their everyday work and social life will also have influence in developing the policy (Murphy,
2012). Focusing on management principle, ethics and training new staff the sustainability
incorporated policy framework will also give desired outcome for the company (Wieczorek and
Hekkert, 2012). Focusing on using digital media and digitally integrated work-culture will also
reduce the usage of paper while there will also be reduction in rubbish usage (Waligo, Clarke
and Hawkins, 2013). Using volatile organic compound in the workplace like organic paints for
more sustainability incorporation will also increase the uniqueness of the property in the eye of
the visitors come customer (Serrat, 2017).
Conclusion
Therefore, from the above framework of policy improvement in the organization, the
proposed policies can affect the company performance for this year. The impact of incorporating
this policy will also have marketing and awareness enforcement in the company. The bulk of the
sustainability policy will be made up of the goals and objectives your company identified. These
will work as a guide or road map for sustainable actions moving forward as an organization.
However, it is important to clearly state the commitment and intentions as a company. The

company environmental project manager has suggested the sustainability-focused policies. There
is also justification of having this policy in the organization.
