Description
This unit of competency covers explaining and providing advice on sustainability issues and processes to organisation and community representatives, including employees, managers, clients, suppliers and the local and wider community. This unit applies inside organisations and their value chains (e.g. supplier of goods or services or customer) and applies to individuals who must inform and educate representatives of their own organisation, members of their organisation’s value chain and community representatives on sustainability issues. The unit has been developed with manufacturing operations as a focus. However, because of the range of organisations in a typical manufacturing value chain it may also be applied to other types of organisations.Advice provided would be of a general nature and would not cover detailed technical interpretation of test results or specialist financial, engineering or legal advice. A manager or technical specialist who has a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role would typically undertake this, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility. The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
