If they do not report directly against SDGs, you will need to read their reports and see how what they do report on might align with the SDGs. You must think about this rather than just describing what they do. Research GRI, the Compact, and SDGs themselves \u2013 look on their websites and publications. Academically, you can search for articles that discuss them. Please use the seminar exercises on Inditex to guide where to find information and which information is relevant.&nbsp; If you cannot find some of the information we found in Inditex in BP, ask yourself why that is.&nbsp; Does BP\u2019s provide the information in another format?<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">You are being asked for a lot of information in this assignment.&nbsp; A diagram or illustration can be worth a thousand words!

Also, think about how the business operations and the reporting connect, the role of wider stakeholders and the way the company responds to their recommendations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;Conclusion \u2013 There are no new arguments in the conclusions, just a wrap-up<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;of what you have already demonstrated.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 30px; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Within each section, you should explain and possibly take your analysis a bit further by looking at the broader context for each.

We advise you to use at least five references for this essay. Some examples of the references you can use are the annual report of BP, sustainability frameworks (e.g. GRI, SDGs) and other resources available on slides\/Moodle. We will not provide a reading list as we would like to see that you can find the required information independently.
