Description
This unit of competency covers the analysis of an organisation’s interactions with its environment, the specifics of the local situation and determining risks and vulnerabilities (hot spots) for close monitoring or action. It may be applied to an entire organisation, part of a large organisation or part/all of a value chain.This unit covers the analysis of an organisation’s interactions with its environment through an application of the principles of sustainability and an understanding of climate change and other significant sustainability issues, such as resource depletion. The organisation’s environment, for the purpose of this unit, is considered to include the ecology it impacts, the economic impacts on the organisation and the social impacts of the organisation.This unit covers the identification of items which have the potential for a major sustainability impact, and so require some response from the organisation. A manager or senior technologist who has significant responsibility for sustainability in their work role would typically undertake this unit. Skills covered by this unit may be applied individually or in a team context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
