Analysis of sustainability in practice

2. Research its approach to sustainability – websites, media reports, inside information (e.g. interviews if you work at the company) what is it doing?
3. Assess and analyse � For example, compare against relevant GRI guidelines (if not already done by company); or compare against competitors; or assess against context e.g. size, life cycle, industry; or assess in terms of integration into strategy, measurability of performance.
What is good, what is not, why?
Sustainability has huge scope � better to focus on one aspect than try to cover it all
