1. The document outlines steps for creating a vision and plan for sustainable practices, including creating a vision statement, conducting a baseline analysis, and developing a strategic action plan. 2. It recommends "backcasting" by envisioning the desired future vision and working backwards to identify goals and actions. 3. A case study of Interface Carpets is presented as an example of a company that set goals to become more sustainable and outlined short, medium, and long term priority actions to work towards its vision.

Please note, although it is not covered in this course it is not only important in understand the framework for sustainable practice but also the management practices and processes that must be used for the application of the framework. As recommended at the front of the course and available in M5: Optional Reading, the 5 th Discipline by Peter Senge is particularly helpful.
