Questions
Provide answers to all of the questions below:
1. Outline the Kyoto Protocol and Australia’s obligations under the Protocol, as well as its current
targets and the adequacy of these targets.
- The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions
to combat climate change. It was adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005. Under
the protocol, countries are required to set binding targets for reducing their greenhouse
gas emissions. Australia ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2007 and committed to reducing its
emissions by an average of 5% below 1990 levels over the period 2008-2012. However,
Australia was only required to make reductions in its emissions from the sectors included
in its Kyoto target (mainly energy, transport, and industrial processes), and not from other
sectors such as agriculture. After the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol ended
in 2012, Australia did not sign up for a second commitment period. Instead, Australia set
its own targets and committed to reducing its emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by
2030 as part of the Paris Agreement. Critics argue that Australia's current targets are not
ambitious enough to meet the country's commitments under the Paris Agreement and to
contribute effectively to global efforts to combat climate change. They also point out that
Australia's reliance on carryover credits from the first commitment period of the Kyoto
Protocol to meet its current targets is problematic, as it does not represent real emissions
reductions. Overall, there is debate over the adequacy of Australia's targets and its
commitment to taking meaningful action on climate change. Critics argue that more
ambitious targets and stronger policies are needed to align with the goals of the Paris
Agreement and to ensure a sustainable future for Australia and the planet.
2. Outline the purpose and scope of the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and
Climate.
3. Outline the purpose and scope of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation
Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
- The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is
Australia's primary piece of environmental legislation, which aims to protect and conserve
the country's environment and biodiversity. The Act covers a wide range of matters
including the protection of threatened species, the management of World Heritage
properties, and the regulation of environmental impact assessments for proposed projects.
Australian Design College Pty Ltd V.1 BSBSUS511 Develop workplace policies and procedures for sustainability | 5
4. Outline the purpose and scope of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation
(EPBC) Act Regulations.
- The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act Regulations are
subsidiary legislation that provide more detailed requirements and procedures for
implementing the EPBC Act. These regulations specify various matters such as the
content of environmental impact assessments, the criteria for listing threatened species,
and the procedures for obtaining approvals under the Act.
5. Outline the purpose and scope of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme.
6. Outline the purpose and scope of the Australian Packaging Covenant voluntary code of
practice.
7. Outline the purpose and scope of the Australian Ecolabel Program voluntary code of practice.
- The Australian Ecolabel Program is a voluntary certification scheme that identifies and
promotes environmentally friendly products and services in Australia. The program aims to
help consumers make more sustainable purchasing choices by providing reliable
information on the environmental performance of certified products.
8. Identify one internal information source and one external information source that can be used
to plan and develop a company’s sustainability policy. For each source, explain how this
source can be used to develop the sustainability policy.
- Employees have firsthand knowledge of the company's operations and can provide
valuable insights into areas where sustainability practices can be implemented or
improved. Their feedback can help in identifying potential issues, setting goals, and
creating strategies for sustainability.
This external source can provide valuable guidelines and benchmarks for developing a
sustainability policy. By studying what other companies in the industry are doing in terms
Australian Design College Pty Ltd V.1 BSBSUS511 Develop workplace policies and procedures for sustainability | 6
of sustainability, a company can gain insights into best practices and tailor their policies
accordingly.
- Identification of need: The first step in the policy development process is to identify a need
for a new policy or a change in an existing policy. This may be informed by research, data
analysis, stakeholder feedback, or external factors.
- Formulation: Once the need has been identified, the next step is to formulate the policy.
This typically involves conducting research, consulting with stakeholders, and drafting a
policy document that outlines the purpose, scope, objectives, and proposed solutions for
the issue at hand.
- Approval: Once the policy has been formulated and consulted upon, it must be approved
by relevant authorities, such as senior management, board of directors, or the
government. This may involve making revisions to the policy based on feedback received
during the consultation process.
- Implementation: After the policy has been approved, the next step is to implement it. This
may involve developing an implementation plan, assigning roles and responsibilities,
allocating resources, and communicating about the policy to stakeholders.
- Monitoring and evaluation: Once the policy has been implemented, it is important to
monitor its progress and evaluate its effectiveness. This may involve collecting data,
analyzing outcomes, and seeking feedback from stakeholders to assess whether the
policy is achieving its objectives.
- Review and revision: Policies should be regularly reviewed and revised to ensure they
remain relevant and effective. This may involve conducting periodic reviews, gathering
feedback from stakeholders, and making revisions based on new information or changing
circumstances.

10. Explain the main components of a policy document.
- Purpose: This section outlines the reason for creating the policy document and explains
why it is important for the organization. It sets the tone for the rest of the document.
- Scope: This section defines the boundaries and limitations of the policy, specifying who
and what the policy applies to. It helps provide clarity on who is affected by the policy.
- Definitions: This section includes any key terms or phrases used in the policy document
and provides clear definitions to ensure that everyone understands the language and
terminology used.
- Policy Statement: This section presents the actual policy, outlining the rules, procedures,
expectations, and guidelines that must be followed. It clearly states what is expected of
individuals or groups covered by the policy.
- Procedures: This section explains the specific actions that need to be taken to comply with
the policy. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to implement the policy effectively.
- Enforcement: This section outlines the consequences for non-compliance with the policy.
It explains the disciplinary actions that may be taken in the event of a violation.
- Review and Revision: This section specifies how and when the policy document will be
reviewed, updated, or revised. It ensures that the policy remains current and relevant to
the organization.
- References: This section includes any additional resources, policies, regulations, or laws
that support or are related to the policy document. It provides further information for
individuals seeking more details.
- Approval: This section indicates who has approved the policy document and when it was
approved. It ensures that the policy has gone through the necessary review and approval
processes within the organization.
11. Outline policy development practices that may be used in response to resistance to the
introduction of policies.
- Conduct thorough research and analysis to identify the root causes of resistance to the
introduction of policies.
Australian Design College Pty Ltd V.1 BSBSUS511 Develop workplace policies and procedures for sustainability | 8
- Engage stakeholders and encourage open communication to address concerns and
gather feedback on proposed policies.
- Consider the impact of the policies on different groups and ensure that they are fair and
equitable.
- Provide clear explanations and justifications for the need for the policies, highlighting the
benefits and potential positive outcomes.
- Consider alternative approaches and modifications to the policies based on feedback and
input from stakeholders.
- Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the policies after implementation, making
adjustments as needed to address any ongoing resistance.
- Provide training and support to employees to ensure understanding and compliance with
the new policies.
12. Outline why a company may choose to implement an environmental management system
(EMS). List at least three reasons why a company may implement am EMS.
- Improved efficiency and cost savings: An EMS can help a company identify opportunities
to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency, and streamline processes. By implementing
measures to minimize environmental impacts, companies can often realize cost savings
through reduced energy consumption, waste disposal costs, and raw material usage.
Australian Design College Pty Ltd V.1 BSBSUS511 Develop workplace policies and procedures for sustainability | 9
13. Outline at least three key components of an EMS.
- Implementation and operation: This includes putting the plans into action, training
employees on environmental practices, and monitoring and measuring performance to
ensure compliance with regulations and achievement of objectives.
14. Outline how a business can use environmental sustainability indicators and two examples of
indicators that can be used.
- Energy consumption: This indicator can measure the amount of energy used by the
business and help identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption and improving
energy efficiency.
- Waste generation: This indicator can measure the amount and types of waste produced
by the business, allowing the organization to identify opportunities for waste reduction,
recycling, and resource recovery.
15. Outline how a business can use life cycle management procedures to assist with
implementing sustainability practices.
- A business can use life cycle management procedures to assist with implementing
sustainability practices by considering the environmental impacts of a product or service
throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. This includes
assessing the environmental impacts at each stage, identifying opportunities for
improvement, and making informed decisions to minimize environmental impacts.
16. Outline at least two barriers to introducing policies and procedures, and strategies that can be
used to address each of the barriers you identify.
- Resistance to change: Employees may resist implementing new policies and procedures
due to fear of the unknown or concerns about their workload changing. Strategy to
address this barrier includes providing clear communication, training, and support to help
employees understand the reasons for the changes and the benefits of sustainability
practices.
Australian Design College Pty Ltd V.1 BSBSUS511 Develop workplace policies and procedures for sustainability | 10
initiatives based on potential return on investment, seeking external funding or
partnerships, and integrating sustainability practices into existing processes to minimize
additional costs.
17. Describe the role that quality systems like ISO and Australian Standards can play in
supporting corporate sustainability.
- Quality systems like ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and Australian
Standards are designed to ensure that organizations meet certain criteria for quality,
efficiency, and sustainability in their operations. These standards provide guidelines and
best practices for businesses to follow in order to minimize negative environmental
impacts, promote social responsibility, and improve overall corporate sustainability.
- By implementing and adhering to quality systems like ISO and Australian Standards,
companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability to stakeholders,
customers, and the wider community. These standards help businesses to identify and
address areas where they can improve their sustainability performance, such as reducing
waste, minimizing energy consumption, and adopting sustainable practices throughout
their supply chain.
- Additionally, quality systems provide a framework for companies to measure and track
their progress towards sustainability goals, leading to continuous improvement and
innovation in sustainable practices. By achieving certification in ISO and Australian
Standards related to sustainability, companies can differentiate themselves in the market,
attract environmentally-conscious consumers, and enhance their reputation as socially
responsible organizations.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
You have two options for this section of your assessment – Option 1 is for students who are
working from the case study business. Option 2 is for students who are working from their own
business.
Important: You should only complete ONE of the following options. If you are unsure which
option you should complete, speak to your assessor.
Assume that, following acceptance of your sustainability policy and procedures, you
have been asked to implement strategies identified in your action plan for the
continuous improvement of resource efficiency. This is to include an inspection of
the workplace to identify environmental sustainability and resource usage issues
and to identify and report on possible solutions.
You will therefore undertake an inspection of the RTO facility using the
environmental sustainability and resource Usage Record Template provided in
Section 5 of your Project Portfolio (Part B).
Record at least three actual or potential environmental sustainability and resource
usage issues that you find.
Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the inspection and will
observe you conducting the inspection.
Make sure you have answered all questions in Section 5 of your Portfolio (Part B).
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 Section 5 of the Project
Portfolio (Part B) and make sure you attach these upon submission.
Assume that you wish to commence implementing a further initiative from the action
plan, which is to provide regular communications to staff about sustainability
practices.
Australian Design College Pty Ltd V.1 BSBSUS511 Develop workplace policies and procedures for sustainability | 23
Based on one of the issues identified in your environmental sustainability and
resource usage record, develop a short memo to send to staff about best practice
sustainability procedures. For example, if you have identified that water usage is
high, you could write about tips to reduce water usage. The memo you develop
must be written in plain English and in user-friendly language and be designed to
promote engagement in sustainability initiatives.
The memo should be no more than one page and include images such as photos
or graphs to assist with understanding and engagement.
