Overview
 
The assignment in this unit asks you to bridge the academic and business worlds: to take what you learned in the readings and your experience learning about opening a new business and propose a solution in business terms. Specifically, how can Regina’s newly opened business begin a corporate sustainability program?
 
Instructions
 
Review the following from this unit’s studies before continuing:
 
“Coca-Cola Launches Sustainability Programs.”
“Sustainability a Walmart Pillar.”
“Shipping FedEx Envelopes Is Now Carbon-Neutral.”
“Small, Local Businesses Jump on the Sustainability Bandwagon.”
 
The three organizations mentioned in these articles have discovered there are advantages to incorporating business practices with supporting the community in lasting endeavors that sustain a business for new generations. The articles present views on the value added when an organization invests in corporate sustainability. It is only within the last two decades that environmental sustainability has become a topic on the co

rporate agenda. Today, some consumers choose their providers based on a company’s carbon footprint.
