- Discuss the selected SDG and the issue that this goal addresses. Examine and discuss the role of business organizations in achieving this goal.
- Critically analyze the company’s current environmental, social, and economic performance in relation to the selected goal. Students should show how the goal is relevant for Marks & Spencer and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the company’s existing sustainability and corporate social responsibility strategies and actions in relation to the SDG they have chosen.
