- Introduction.
- Current Sustainability Strategy. Distinguish between corporate social responsibility and sustainability, and describe the current sustainability strategy of your selected organization.
- Different Routes. Assess the organization’s development in advancing sustainability by identifying which business sustainability route best matches your selected organization: a values-based route, a strategic route, or a defensive route. Explain, as well as provide evidential support.
- Stakeholders. Identify the HRM stakeholders affected by HR policies, processes and performance. Integrate learning from the 1.1 devotional on stewardship of influence.

Identify the policy and explain the revisions needed to better reflect sustainability principles. Include the original policy and the revised policy as Appendix A. (The policy is not included in the word count requirement for the paper.)

To support the organization’s principles of social and environmental sustainability, develop a new HR policy and initiative in one of the following three areas: (a) employee volunteering program, (b) employer branding, or (c) green HRM:
