You will be allocated to a group of three students who, in modules 5.2 (week 10) and 6.1
(week 11) will prepare a short, written scenario (around 500 words) that describes one ethical
or sustainability issue facing an organisation of your choice. You will then use the scenario as
the basis for completing your Assessment 3 report.
Structure of scenario
1. Short description of organisation (100 words)
2. Description of the ethical issue (300 words)
3. List of key stakeholders
4. Statement of the ethical issue, in one sentence, in the form of a question (i.e. what is the
decision the organisation must take)
