    Overview

    Scenario: Chesapeake Innovations

    You are a member of the Sustainability & Ethics Advisory Group at Chesapeake Innovations, a mid-sized technology firm headquartered in Maryland. The company specializes in designing energy-efficient building systems, smart transportation solutions, and sensor-based environmental monitoring devices. Many of its 3,000 employees have military or government backgrounds, and its client base includes federal agencies, municipal governments, and defense contractors across North America, Europe, and Asia.

    Chesapeakes Global Footprint:

    • Annual Revenue: ~$750 million
    • Markets: North America, Europe, Greater Asia Region (Singapore, Malaysia, Japan)
    • Manufacturing: Germany, Italy, Spain, Singapore, Japan
    • Raw Materials: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE
    • Final Assembly: U.S., Japan, Singapore

    As part of its mission to advance sustainability, innovation, and public service, Chesapeake has adopted the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework and launched its ambitious Vision 2030 roadmap to embed sustainable practices across operations, supply chains, and internal functions such as HR, finance, and marketing.

    However, internal audits and stakeholder feedback have revealed critical sustainability gaps:

    • High Scope 2 and 3 emissions related to energy use and logistics
    • Inconsistent environmental practices across global sites
    • Limited ESG transparency, with few public disclosures or verified data
    • Unclear sourcing protocols for critical minerals like lithium and cobalt
    • Advanced practices in Europe, but lagging performance in Southeast Asia

    Several key clients have begun requesting verified ESG scorecards and third-party audits as part of procurement and partnership evaluations.

    Instructions

    Task

    As part of the Sustainability & Ethics Advisory Group, you have been asked to develop a comprehensive Sustainability Audit Plan for Chesapeake Innovations executive leadership team. The primary audience includes the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Procurement Officer (CPO), and key departmental leaders from operations, HR, finance, and supply chain. Secondary audiences may include external consultants, ESG reporting teams, and public-sector clients involved in procurement evaluations.

    This internal strategy document will guide performance improvement efforts and help Chesapeake prepare for:

    • Third-party sustainability audits
    • Investor ESG due diligence
    • Client-facing ESG documentation and procurement requirements

    Your plan should:

    • Define the audit scope, objectives, and key performance areas
    • Identify and assess Chesapeakes environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks
    • Recommend a guiding sustainability framework or standard suitable for its global operations
    • Align with international best practices and relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
    • Provide a clear roadmap for data collection, evaluation, and reporting

    Your final deliverable should be professional, actionable, and aligned with Chesapeakes Vision 2030 goalssupporting transparency, accountability, and long-term value creation across its global operations.

    Evaluation Criteria:

    Your assignment will be evaluated based on the Assignment Details where your plan should include the following sections:

    1. Executive Summary ( page)

    Summarize the purpose of the audit plan, the selected framework, and intended outcomes.

    2. Chesapeake Innovations Sustainability Overview ( page)

    Briefly describe the companys business model and sustainability context. Identify key industry-specific risks related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

    3. Framework Comparison and Selection (11 pages)

    Begin by researching the following sustainability frameworks and standards websites:

    Next, select one framework that you believe is the most appropriate for Chesapeake Innovations.

    To support your selection, create a comparison matrix or summary table that evaluates at least three of the above frameworks based on the following criteria:

    • Industry fit and strategic alignment
    • Coverage of key risks (e.g., emissions, labor, compliance)
    • Ease of implementation (e.g., resources, complexity)
    • Stakeholder recognition and global credibility

    Conclude this section by clearly justifying your chosen framework based on your analysis. Explain how it aligns with Chesapeake Innovations’ sustainability priorities and organizational context.

    4. SDG Alignment and Ethical Decision-Making (1 page)

    Identify at least two United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the audit plan supports. Explain how the chosen framework and your audit priorities align with these SDGs. Connect this to ethical decision-making strategies from Unit 2.

    5. Preliminary Audit Planning (1 page)

    Develop a high-level outline for how Chesapeake Innovations could begin its sustainability audit. This is not a full implementation plan, but an early-stage planning document that highlights key priorities and design considerations to ensure the audit supports long-term sustainability and operational resilience.

    Your outline should address the following components:

    • Audit Focus Areas: Based on Chesapeakes Vision 2030 goals, which core areas should the audit prioritize (e.g., environmental impact, labor practices, governance, emissions, supply chain practices)?
    • Top 3 Performance Areas to Evaluate: Identify three specific ESG-related issues where Chesapeake should concentrate its assessment efforts. These should reflect the companys risk exposure, stakeholder expectations, or areas of strategic importance.
    • Information Sources: Describe the types of data or information that may be gathered to support the audit (e.g., internal reports, supplier disclosures, utility usage, employee feedback).
    • Key Roles or Departments: Identify the internal teams or departments likely to be involved in collecting data, overseeing the audit, and driving sustainability improvements.
    • Scenario Planning and Business Continuity Considerations: Briefly explain how this audit could help Chesapeake prepare for future risks, such as regulatory shifts, supply chain disruptions, or environmental challenges. What types of what-if planning or resilience measures should be built into the audit?
    • Communication Strategy: Propose one or two strategies Chesapeake could use to keep internal or external stakeholders informed throughout the audit process. Consider methods that support transparency, engagement, and alignment across global operations.

    6. Conclusion and Recommendations ( page)

    Summarize key takeaways and suggest next steps to build Chesapeakes internal audit capacity.

  • Science Question

    Students will define and describe different methodologies of anthropometrics used to analyze body composition. This chapter is used to dispel the myth that weight is what is most important to determine health status. Weight does not tell the full story, and should not be used as the only health indicator when assessing body composition. Muscle is denser than fat, and evaluating overall distribution of fat and muscle make up is important in determining health risks.

    Learning Outcomes

    Use appropriate assessments to analyze body composition and nutrition status and explain significance of findings. (CC4)

    Instructions

    Before you begin, it is recommended that you download the following lab packet for you to complete as you view your lab demonstration videos:

      Welcome to Week 6

      Dear Students,We are getting to the halfway point and you are all doing great! Keep the momentum going.Remember to reach out if you need help do not suffer alone.When it comes to presenting a proposal to stakeholders, it is vital to speak with language that will have meaning for them. For example, some healthcare settings will have well-established QI departments and staff while others may not pay much attention to the concept of QI, or do not have any formalized process for it. Consider how you might differentiate your approach and nuance your language depending on your audience.As you complete your Assignment this week, pay particular attention to the presentation you are preparing and how you are applying the science of translation to ensure your evidence-based practice (EBP) quality improvement (QI) initiative aims and outcomes are fully understood.Please see the classroom for details
