must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to
meet the requirements of units you are appealing the assessment of.
Your trainer will outline the appeals process, which is available to the student. You can request a
form to make an appeal and submit it to your trainer, the course coordinator, or the
administration officer. The AHIC will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome
within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the appeal
form.
Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means
acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
As a student, you are required to:
• Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
• Ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
• Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
• Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
• Take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and
to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes
material sourced from the Internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and
unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used,
which includes:
 Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
 Copying work either in whole or in part
 Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
 Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the
author or web page
 Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion:
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with
other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of
someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or student’s external to the RTO.
This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student
• Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other
students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and
academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic integrity,
plagiarism and collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students
who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students’ academic file and
could lead to disciplinary action.

Assessment Task 2 Instructions
Complete the following activities:
1. Carefully read the following:
This project requires you to develop, implement and review at least two
workplace sustainability policies and procedures for one area of
sustainability within a business. You will do this by:
 consulting with relevant stakeholders
 reviewing current policies and procedures
 gathering information
 following organisational policies and procedures
 incorporating continuous improvement strategies
 considering resource requirements
 supporting implementation
 tracking results
 providing stakeholder feedback.

You will also integrate sustainability into your organisation’s wider policies
and procedures.
Selecting a business to work with
Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical
skills that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen
career. For this reason, we are giving you the choice to base this project on your
own business, one you work in or a familiar with, or you can use the case study
provided. This will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a
relevant, practical and meaningful way to your own situation!
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
If you choose to base your assessment on your own business or workplace,

it is important that you are able to access enough information for your
chosen business to be able to successfully complete each of the
assessment tasks. As a minimum, this will include organisational policies
and procedures related to organisational documentation, access to
information sufficient to develop sustainability policies and access to
stakeholders.
You will make a final decision about whether to work with the case study
business or a real business in the next step.
Completing your Project Portfolio

You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps
you need to take to complete your Portfolio are described below.
Communicating with others

You will need to communicate with stakeholders to confirm their
requirements and to seek their advice and feedback. Your communication
may be directly with actual staff members from within your own business or
workplace. Alternatively, your fellow students and/or your assessor can play
the roles of the relevant people. This communication doesn’t have to be
face-to-face. Where communication is face-to-face, it doesn’t mean that all
parties must be in the same room – you can use video conferencing or any
other appropriate format, as long as it meets the requirements outlined in
this guide and in your Project Portfolio.
2. Preparation
Select a business to work with

As you saw earlier, this unit requires you to develop sustainability policies
and procedures for one area of a business. Some examples of the policies
and procedures that you could prepare include:
 sustainable meetings
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
 sustainable purchasing practices
 sustainable workplaces
 sustainable production
 sustainability site plans.

Decide whether you would like to work with your own business or the case
study business and follow the relevant instructions below.
For students working with their own business

Check that you have access to the required policies, procedures,
information and stakeholders that you will require. You should also decide
on the area of the business that you will work with, the area of sustainability
that you will focus on and the policies and procedures that you will prepare.
Complete Page 4 of your Project Portfolio by:
 describing the business
 describing the area of sustainability that you will focus on
 describing the two policies and procedures that you will develop.
Submit Page 4 to your assessor. Your assessor must approve your
business and the policies and procedures before you proceed with
assessment.
For students working with the case study business

Take some time now to read through the Simulation Pack for this unit. You
will need to select an area of Grow Consultants to work with. Choose areas
that interest you. There are some ideas given below – or you might choose
another topic altogether. It’s up to you. Keep in mind though that you will
need to be able to easily access information for your policies and
procedures.
Sustainability ideas:
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
 meetings
 production processes
 purchasing
 travel
 sustainable workplaces.
You will use your real names, backgrounds and communication preferences
and styles during all role plays or simulated communication to ensure that
the simulation is realistic.
You will also use information from real products and services to combine
with information provided in the simulation pack and include in your
presentations.
Complete Page 4 of your Project Portfolio by:

 describing the business
 describing the area of sustainability that you will focus on
 describing the policies and procedures that you will develop.

Submit Page 4 to your assessor. Your assessor must approve your planned
presentations before you proceed with your assessment.
Review all of your documents

Before you begin your assessment, read through all of your assessment
documents including this guide and your Project Portfolio. If you are
working with the case study business, you should also read through all of
the documents in the Simulation Pack.
If you are working with your own business or a business that you work in or
are familiar with, make sure that you have access to all of the documents
that you need and that you have familiarised yourself with them.
Make sure that you understand what you need to do and, if you have any
questions, speak to your assessor or workplace supervisor.
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
3. Develop a briefing report
In this first activity, you will develop a briefing report. You should conduct
research relevant to your chosen area of sustainability which identifies the
following:
 Relevant environmental and sustainability legislation, regulations and
codes of practice
 Sources of information on sustainability, including incorporating
sustainability into business planning and using it as an opportunity to
identify new business initiatives.
 Sustainability policies and procedures developed by other organisations
 Life cycle mapping processes.

Here are two websites to get you started:
https://www.business.gov.au/risk-management/environmental-impact/
environmental-management/environmental-legislation-licences-and-permits
http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/services-and-advice/business/energy-
and-materials-efficiency-for-business/resources-and-tools/life-cycle-
management
Using your research and analysis, develop a briefing report which you will
use later in this assessment. Your briefing report should address the
following:
 Introduction, including current organisational practices.
 Key sustainability facts and figures and the benefits to businesses of

implementing sustainable initiatives.
 How sustainability can be built into business planning and can inform
business opportunities to reflect the organisation’s commitment to
sustainability.
 Legal requirements in relation to workplace sustainability relevant to
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
Grow Management Consultants, as well as any relevant regulations

and codes of practices.
 Details of three sustainability policies and procedures researched and
inclusions within the policy and procedures.
 An overview of life cycle mapping, including life style stages, life cycle
map, life cycle matrix.
 Identification of the most effective strategies to reduce environmental
impact relevant to your chosen sustainability area. Provide an example
to illustrate this concept. Attach your example to your report as
appendices; you should complete the life cycle map and life cycle
matrix and mitigating strategies. Example actions should be included as
below.
 Example sustainability actions to inform the sustainability action plan for
the next 12 months. You should identify at least five ideas initially,
Make sure you have answered all questions in each copy of Section 1 of
your Portfolio. Submit to your assessor for review.
You are also required to attach certain documents as part of your evidence
– review the documents you need to attach as outlined in each copy of
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
Section 1 of the Project Portfolio and make sure you attach these upon
submission.
4. Meet with your stakeholders
Now that you have developed a briefing report, you should consult with at
least two stakeholders to gather their advice and feedback. At the meeting,
the stakeholders will provide input into the development of the policy and
procedures through their comments and ideas. Encourage their
participation.
During the meeting, demonstrate effective communication skills including:
 speaking clearly and concisely
 using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
 asking questions to identify required information
 responding to questions as required
 using active listening techniques to confirm understanding.

Following the meeting, summarise the stakeholder feedback and finalise
the scope of the sustainability policies and procedures including:
 required outcomes
 KPIs
 methods of implementation.
Work into Section 2 of your Portfolio.
i This meeting may take place with actual people who work for/who are
associated with your chosen business. Alternatively, classmates or your
assessor may play the role of one or more stakeholders. If in the classroom
setting, you will all take turns within your group to share your individually
developed briefing reports and to gather feedback and input. Your
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
discussions should take at least 20 minutes each.

This can either be viewed in person by your assessor or you may like to
video/audio record the session for your assessor to watch or listen to later.
Your assessor can provide you with more details at this step. If this session
is not viewed in person by your assessor, you will attach proof of the
meeting to Section 2 of your Project Portfolio.
submission.
5. Developing the sustainability policies and procedures
Develop the policies and procedures based on your briefing report and
stakeholder feedback.
Ensure that your policies and procedures include a statement about the
organisation’s commitment to sustainability, as well as how sustainability
initiatives will be incorporated into business planning and will also serve as
business opportunities.
Work into Section 3 of your Portfolio (note that two copies of Section 3 have
been provided).
submission.
ABN: 74 603 036 102
T: 02 9268 0085
W: www.ahic.edu.au
6. Developing an action plan
The next part of the assessment task requires you to develop an action plan
to implement one of the policies and procedures which you developed
earlier.
Your action plan should include:
 The resources required for implementation of the policy (human,
financial, material)
 A list of sources of resources required
 A priority list for implementation
 Individual responsibilities
 Strategies for continuous improvement
 Strategies for tracking and monitoring the success of the policy
 Strategies for supporting implementation
 Strategies for reviewing implementation (How will outcomes be

documented? How will feedback be provided? How will trends be
identified and recorded?)
An important part of your action plan should be a strategy for
communicating with stakeholders to generate engagement with
sustainability initiatives. As part of this, seek and incorporate feedback on
your action plan from one of the stakeholders who you consulted in Activity
4. (If you are working on the Case Study business, seek feedback from your
Assessor.)
