You may also make your own observations about how the policy is implemented. Consider the following in your review: · how the service monitors and analyses their consumption of resources · how the service uses software systems and other systems for monitoring current usage of resources such as energy and water. b) Research and analyse policy review processes, and create a flow chart that illustrates the process for monitoring and reviewing your selected sustainability policy implementation.
