Effective executive summaries present the essential points of a business case, including the rationale for integrating sustainable practices, while highlighting risks such as increased operational costs, reputational damage, or non-compliance with regulatory standards if sustainability is disregarded. In practice, this skill is applied when preparing documentation for internal project approvals, funding requests, or compliance reporting within registered training organisations. Consideration must also be given to relevant technical references and workplace health and safety (WHS) standards when proposing sustainability activities. By completing this topic, learners will be able to produce executive summaries that support informed decision-making and clearly communicate the value of sustainability in ICT project contexts.</p>\n",
