Conduct research for a report on a sustainability project. Sustainability is far from a buzzword. It is a widely and ardently held belief that individuals and organisations alike should operate in a way that contributes to broader society, and respects the environment in which they exist and operate. Using what is covered as a starting point, provide a report proposing an IS project to improve the sustainability of an organisation you are already familiar with. Be sure you describe the inputs and outputs, and how the IS creates value for the organisation. Explain all the system components.
