Case Study Part 2 builds on Case Study Part 1 and continues your consideration of the application of strategic and sustainable management accounting concepts and practices to The a2 Milk Company.

Question 1 - Sustainability (Maximum report length: 1,000 words)

Operating in the dairy industry, The a2 Milk Company impacts the environment in a number of different ways and there are certain initiatives that the firm can take to minimise these impacts. The firm also impacts a number of different stakeholder groups and there are a number of key social concerns that management must be cognisant of. Prepare a report which identifies and summarises the key environmental and social concerns relating to the operations of The a2 Milk Company. Your discussion should consider a range of different stakeholder groups and a number of different environmental and social issues from across the firm's value chain.

As part of your report, suggest three potential environmental and social objectives that the firm could strive to achieve. For each of these objectives, suggest at least 2 measures that the firm could use to measure their progress towards the objectives (the template below should be used to summarise your findings for this task). This table should be presented within the body of your report and your recommendations should be thoroughly discussed.

This report must be supported by reference to a range of relevant academic and other research sources.
