Question:

In Task 3 the question "where do we want to be?' is what you are seeking to inform i.e. the firm wants to identify effective, sustainable and socially responsible strategic options that will give them long term competitive advantage given the challenge of climate change. Select ONE of the following issues, which you feel is the most relevant for your firm from either: a) carbon footprint, b) waste, c) emissions, d) energy use. Your task is to create a strategic plan for the business i.e. identify where they want to be and explain 'how are we going to get there?' in terms of planning to strategically manage the climate change challenge and gain long term competitive advantage. The plan must outline; what the firm seeks to achieve (goal), how it will undertake to achieve it (objectives) and, what is needed (actions and resources) so implementation can take place. NB: Do not confuse the overarching goal of the strategy with the actions needed to achieve it. Remember every strategic plan is built on the organisations guiding strategy documents (purpose, vision, mission, values) - this is an essential component of your assignment.1.
