Background
The company you selected in Assessment One(SONY CORPORATION) is currently a signatory to the United Nation’s Global Compact, or considering becoming a member. The United Nation’s Global Compact guides companies’ social performance. Like all signatories, your
company would be or is planning to be a member of their Global Compact Local Network, which aims to achieve compliance
with the ten principles of the Global Compact.
In this scenario, your Local Network has invited submissions from actual and potential members to identify ways of improving
compliance to two of the Global Compact principles. Your task is to write a persuasive submission on behalf of your company
addressed to the Local Network. The goal of the submission is to propose recommendations to achieve compliance with two
principles of the Global Compact. The two principles you will address will be determined in your tutorial in Module 6. I will upload the first assignment, as the principles need to come from that one.
Business Submission
In your own words, the Submission (Assessment Two) will:
1. Review and present a selection of business practices and/or approaches from your company that may be used to
achieve compliance to the two principles of the Global Compact. If your company is not yet a signatory of the UNGC,
you can research the business practices from other companies in similar industries that are already signatories to help
determine benchmarks for best practice, but remember to write your submission on your company.
2. Discuss both the positive and negative lessons learned from these business practices and approaches.
3. Develop business practice recommendations, which will improve compliance to the two Global principles. These
should be based on the review you have undertaken and your understanding of the lessons learned.
4. Discuss the benefits, challenges and risks for key stakeholders if these recommendations are implemented.
