Assessment 3: Consulting Report
Company Assigned: Frucor Suntory, Auckland, New Zealand
(Due Sunday 13 October 11:55pm)
For this assignment write a 1200-word report for an organization planning to store carbon and reduce its carbon footprint. You will be assigned one company from among the members of the New Zealand Climate Leaders Coalition. Identify the companys competence in addressing carbon storage and its carbon footprint based on available information (this requires collecting and searching for information, facts, and data from the companys website and recent annual reports) and recommend ways the company could improve its performance.
The style of this report and presentation is to communicate to the Board of the company, through the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), describing how to tackle carbon storage, rating the companys performance to date (give specific reasons for your assessment), and what actions and by whom at the company you recommend managing its improving performance. Use the academic report format which includes:
Letter of Introduction
Executive Summary
Introduction
Discussion
Conclusions
Recommendations
References
You will be graded on your ability to write an academic report, your integration of the literature into your discussion, the feasibility of your recommendations, and your writing skills. Recommendations must be time-bound and specific, based on the information you have gathered. These are written as single sentences in bullet points.
You can design your consulting companys name, logo, and contact details, all of which will show on the letter, which should be written as a business letter. The letter may be written with single line spacing, but the rest of the report with double line spacing.
We do not use a marking rubric because we expect you to write with a critical focus at an advanced level.

Assignment Style Guide
Please follow these stylistic guidelines when formatting your assignments.
Layout and Formatting
Use double line spacing.
Use Times New Roman font, 12pt for body text and 14pt bold for headings.
Number all pages at the bottom in the centre.
In the header ensure your name and ID number is on each page, beginning the page after the title pages. Remember to type your family name in CAPITALS.
Page one of your assignment should be the Honesty Declaration.
Assignments submitted without a signed Honesty Declaration attached may not be marked.
A copy of the Honesty Declaration can be downloaded from the Stream site, or copy the one at the back of this Paper Guide.
Ensure that paragraphs are separated by 24pt spaces before and after each paragraph.
All text should be left-aligned. Do not use full justification as this makes text
more difficult to read.
When using the dash parenthesis, use the en dash not the hyphen -. (To write an en dash in Word, hold down the alt key and type on the number pad 0150.)
When writing page numbers use the en dash. For example 113126 is correct but 113-126 is not correct. (Note: there are no spaces between the numbers and the en dash.)
Use double quotation marks for direct quotes ... and italics for emphasized words.
Use headings sparingly and avoid using them altogether in essays shorter than about 2000 words.
Reports will use headings for each major section.
Avoid using the / to show alternatives. For example, her/him should be her or him.
Do not use we or us when referring to yourself as the author of the assignment. Using these words assumes reader agreement.
4. Write, where possible, using the active voice.
Never use bullets or numbered points in essay assignments.
Recommendations in reports are written as bullet points.
