1.1 Making Sense of Sustainability
Business
sustainability draws on knowledge from a number of disciplines including
geography, engineering and of course management. To aid your learning, you will
be asked to maintain a learning diary. This will allow you to explore you own
ideas, awareness and perceptions of sustainability. It will also increase your
awareness of sustainability and help you understand how sustainability
manifests itself in different ways across businesses. It may serve to highlight
ways in which you can manage your day-to-day activities in your personal and
professional life in a way that promotes and encourages sustainable behaviour. Most
importantly, it will generate a tangible asset for you to refer to in the
future.
