Select one of the areas identified in the text and create a short policy for that area. 
3. Environment: Which is ISM 3 or NAPA 3c.
Policy: Firm X will at all times take the stakeholders approach to the environment.  As the reputation of the firm according to local stakeholders is essential Firm x will employ waste and pollution standards that offer no negative environmental impact.  Further, firm x will actively support efforts to improve local and global environments. This means firm x will not buy from suppliers that have known reputation for waste or production procedures that prove harmful to the environment or its stakeholders. 

 What is essential for those who read the policy you created to understand? 
 Firm X puts people First environment second, and profits third.

 Thank you Jeffrey for this comprehensive and thoughtful response.  You choose a very good area to focus on, NAPA. A policy such as what you highlight is important with a supply chain that can include partners from all over the world with differing values for human life. You did a very good job answering each question and demonstrated understanding of the concepts covered in the text.  As a result,  I will affirm this post.
