Base on the case study to make a strategic purchasing report:

Myrtle Wine Cafe situated along the Maribyrnong River bike track in Footscray, has recently been listed for sale. Open from 7:30am - 4pm, this fully licensed venue serves breakfast, lunch, coffee, and cake six (6) days a week. Located within the Footscray Community Art Centre's Creative precinct, it has a high level of foot traffic, the venue has operated with no mission other than to make a profit, have amazing customer service and keep their customers happy. A client of your team's sustainability firm is very interested in purchasing the business and has made an offer on the venue. Whilst waiting for settlement to occur, the client has engaged your sustainability firm's services to understand how they can transform this venue to become an exemplar of sustainable hospitality practices. Your team needs to develop a sustainability framework that is tailored specifically for the operation that covers sustainable business practice, looking at all elements of the triple bottom line and corporate social responsibility. As the client is new to adopting these ideas, a comprehensive report offering instructions and explanations on key terminology and sustainability procurement concepts is vital. As the venue is primarily run as a cafe, each team member will need to select one of the following commodity areas to investigate to ensure the client makes the most sustainable decisions with regards to suppliers and products used within their menu:
COMMODITY OPTION: Banana
In conjunction with their team presentation, each Sustainable Procurement Consultant (you) have been asked to write up a comprehensive individual report that provides context and definitions for the client to learn from in relation to your chosen commodity and recommend some sustainable business opportunities to adopt for the future

Report requirements:

   

When writing a report in industry, there is a need to introduce and define key concepts and set the context for the investigative report. The report should offer the reader an overview of the key terminology used within procurement and how sustainability can be applied within a hospitality context. Your report will then critically analyse and evaluate an assigned food commodity and offer recommendations on how procurement processes can be improved sustainably. In a report format, please complete the following: Title page (addressed directly to the client) Executive Summary Table of Contents 1. Introduction - Introductory paragraph providing some context. Historically how have items been procured for the hospitality industry? What have hospitality businesses been primarily focused upon? Why should this change? What is the purpose of this report? Who is your audience and what will the report cover? 1.1 Organisational Background-brief overview of the venue - who they are, what they specialise in etc. 2. Definitions. 2.1. The Circular Economy-explain what is meant by the circular economy and what does that mean for a hospitality business? How do sustainable procurement practices help a hospitality business to become more circular in their operations? 2.2. Transparency within the Supply Chain - Explain what is meant by transparency in supply chain management. Why is this an issue we need to be concerned about? (It may help here if you include a hospitality related example to show where issues may exist in the supply chain i.e., at the origin there may be unfair labour practices, unsafe work environments, environmental hazards etc.). 2.3. Triple Bottom Line and Beyond - Explain what is meant by the term triple bottom line. How does this apply within a hospitality setting and what does each area address? Is the TBL framework sufficient in the development of sustainable strategic priorities for a business? Does anything else need to be considered? 2.4. Corporate Social Responsibility - Explain why it is important for businesses to include CSR in their business strategy. (In order to answer this, you must first explain what CSR actually is, then explain why you need to include these ideas when the business is purchasing something)
