Risk and sustainability risks

For this assignment, define risk and describe what makes up sustainability risks. Using your current organization or one you are familiar with, analyse the risks they have they taken lately. How did those risks affect the overall reputation of the organization?

Define risk and describe what makes up sustainability risks

Some business leaders view sustainability efforts as a risk. Identifying these efforts as a risk is only the first step towards understanding their impact.
For this assignment, define risk and describe what makes up sustainability risks. Using your current organization or one you are familiar with, analyse the risks they have they taken lately. How did those risks affect the overall reputation of the organization? What steps should the organization take to mitigate the risks if not able to remove them completely? What local regulations require the removing or reporting or risks in an organization, refinery, factory, etc.

More details;

Sustainability risk refers to the uncertainty in being able to sustain the growth of a given system (a corporation, household, community or economy) because certain practices may have negative externalities which result in the dilapidation of value chain of the system over a period of time or impact other related .

Some see sustainability as a risk; some as irrelevant; and others still as both! Many seem to pigeonhole it as irrelevant though, not seeing the risk (nor the opportunity for that matter) that inattention brings. But being single minded and ignoring sustainability risks leaves a business’ risk exposure wide open.

The fact is that every one of these medium term Business Risks is a Sustainability Issue. CEOs clearly see the link between these environmental and social risks and their business productivity, performance and bottom line.

But recognising a risk is only the first step towards understanding its impact on a business – risks need to be quantified, monitored and managed. I see this latter activity happening with varying degrees of success – there seems to be a disconnect between knowing about sustainability risks and knowing how to deal with them. According to our own survey of CEOs, 49% are making significant changes to how they define and manage risk so there is an awareness that the report card says “could be better”.

Part III: Reflection: Lastly, in what respect does the hero deviate from the monomyth (the Hero’s Journey)? Also, is the “hero” of the film someone that you admire or consider a true hero, according to your own definition or perception of a hero? How can our own lives be viewed in terms of a hero’s journey? How can an individual mature and change through taking heroic action?

Charles Darwin & Herbert Spencer

Charles Darwin, a British naturalist, revolutionized biology with his theory of evolution through the process of natural selection. Herbert Spencer was the major philosopher of biological and social evolution. Spencer’s work significantly influenced 19th century developments in biology, psychology, sociology and anthropology. While Darwin was influential in the fields of natural history and geology, his theory of evolution created great controversy. He changed the way people thought about the role of humans in the natural world. Although these two men made advancement in the theory of evolution they had contrasting views regarding anthropological study.

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who first solidly established the theory of organic evolution, in his work, The Origin of Species. Darwin was born in Shresbury, Shropshire on February 12, 1809. His grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a famous English scientist and poet. In 1825 the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to become a doctor. The same year, however, he transferred to Christ’s College in Cambridge in order to become a clergyman. During this time he befriended a man of science, John Steven Henslow. It was Henslow who recommended him for the unpaid position of naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle.

Darwin set sail on December 27, 1831 to study the Pacific coast of South America and the Pacific Islands. His other duty was to set up navigation stations in the area. He also studied the geology and biology of these areas. Upon his return in 1839, Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgewood, and was admitted to the Royal Society. He moved to Downe, Kent in 1842, and was plagued by ill health until his death. He apparently transmitted Trypanosomiastis from frequent bug bites in the Pacific. Darwin died on April 19, 1882 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
