Description
This unit of competency covers drafting reports required to meet regulatory or other sustainability reporting requirements. The reports may require the inclusion or interpretation of technical data. It includes the development of formats or internal reporting templates to meet the public reporting needs of the organisation.This unit applies to the development, production and oversight of sustainability reports for an organisation or part of an organisation. The reports may be required for regulatory, Board, employee, shareholder or community reporting purposes. Reports may be completed by an individual or be prepared by a team. Where team preparation is involved this unit supplies the skills for coordinating the report production.Reports covered by this unit may relate to all aspects of an organisation’s sustainability or may focus on particular aspects, such as carbon footprint, waste generation and control, environmental, ecological and community impacts. The complexity of the presentation and organisation of data will vary according to the reports required and type and scale of the organisation’s processes. A manager or technical specialist who had a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role would typically undertake this, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility. The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
