Assignment:

This assignment has two components:

1. Part A: A 5-minute group video presentation

2. Part B: A 500-word individual written reflection

This assignment is designed to connect global sustainability challenges related to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) with a specific organizational context. You will apply responsible business tools and frameworks to develop solutions for these challenges.

The group video presentation encourages you to develop collaboration, communication, and presentation skills, while the individual reflection supports reflexive practice, self-expression, and lifelong learning for personal and professional growth.

Assignment Scenario:

Imagine that your group started a food van business two years ago, operating in Birmingham's city centre and catering to lunchtime customers. Your business focuses on one type of cuisine (e.g., British, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, African, Latin American, or any other you prefer) and values sustainability and EDI.

Recently, you secured a contract to provide food for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, which requires expanding your business operations, including:

•    Adding two more food vans.

•     Hiring additional employees.

•    Adjusting your food offerings to meet diverse customer expectations.

Your task is to create a business plan that aligns these changes with your chosen EDI- focused SDG.

Assignment Tasks

Part A: 5-Minute Group Video Presentation

As a group, complete the following steps:

1. Choose an EDI-Related SDG

Select one of the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its associated targets:

o SDG 5: Gender Equality

o SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities

o SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

2. Preparation

Familiarize yourself with the course material related to EDI and any other material you may find relevant. The focus should be on critical analysis i.e., make sure you understand the concepts, ideas, and theories related to EDI and various ways to promote it within organisations and can explain how you will use these within your business.

3. Develop a Business Plan for Expansion

Create a comprehensive plan for expanding your business (adding two food vans, hiring employees, and adjusting food offerings) in a way that aligns with your chosen SDG and your business’s sustainability and EDI values. Your plan should include the following components:

o Staffing Strategy: How you will hire and manage a diverse workforce while promoting EDI values.

o Operational Adjustments: Changes to your food offerings or service model to cater to the diverse audience of the Commonwealth Games.

o Sustainability Practices: Integration of responsible business practices, such as using local suppliers, reducing waste, or employing energy-efficient operations.

4. Critically Analyse Your Plan

Analyse how well your proposed expansion aligns with the chosen SDG and your business’s EDI values. Identify opportunities and challenges, and provide actionable solutions, supported by relevant theories, concepts, and frameworks from the module.

5. Create and Record the Presentation

Develop a video presentation that includes:

o Your chosen SDG and its relevance to your business values.

o Key actions in your business plan to align your expansion with EDI principles and your chosen SDG.

o  A critical analysis of opportunities and challenges in embedding EDI and sustainability in your business practices.

Presentation Tips:

•    Keep your video to 5 minutes.

•    Include visuals that are clear and concise (avoid long text blocks).

•    Each group member must actively participate.

•    Follow the practical video creation guidance on Canvas.

Note: Design your presentation and record it following the practical guidance available on Canvas. Your presentation should include a view of the presenter(s) as well as your visual aid. Each group member should be an active participant in the presentation (creating and/or delivery). Think about how best to structure your presentation and make sure you rehearse your delivery and timings. Make sure to meet the assignment marking criteria for Part A as presented below.

Submission Requirement: Attach three completed Group Meeting Record Forms as an appendix to Part A (see below for more details) .
