Internal Code: 1HBEG

Case Study Assignment Help:

Task: You work for the Regency Hotel Complex in the catering division. The Hotel group is contracted to provide all catering at the Regency Stadium, Croydon. Regency Stadium is a world-class multi-use facility just 10 minutes from central Adelaide and is considered by many to be the best football stadium in Australia. Apart from Football, the venue also hosts Rugby League, Rugby Union and a variety of other sports that utilise rectangular pitches. The Stadium is also a fantastic outdoor concert venue with a capacity of up to 26,000 for concerts. The stadium has a major corporation that has naming, catering and exclusive pourage rights to the stadium. The corporate sponsor is extremely environmentally aware and contributes over $500,000 a year to the oval. In October 2014, the sponsor extended its naming rights sponsorship of the stadium at Croydon by another five years, taking the agreement through to 2023, conditional upon a number of concerns that were raised at a recent board meeting, regarding the stadium’s environmental history, being addressed. The following issues were raised:

• At a recent football match, the major sponsor hosted a corporate box. One of their major clients was disappointed that the banquet packaging was not able to be recycled and that this was unacceptable to the passionate environmentalists.
• The sponsor is demanding that recyclable packaging be investigated, with a worthwhile plan implemented within 12 months.
• If no action is taken to address this concern, the sponsorship extension will be withdrawn.
• A staff member had previously suggested the implementation a recycling program for the stadium.
• The board wants this idea investigated further with a view to setting targets and implementation within the coming year.
• A report has been submitted for recycling but is lacking detail, particularly regarding costs to set up and maintain.
• A recent audit of energy usage has found that it is substantially higher than last quarter and likely to continue at this level.
• Investigation also found that usage was higher than other similar venues.
• The board wants this figure to be reduced by 5% within a year and 10% over 2 years.

There is a need to review current practices, determine achievable continual sustainable practices and produce an implementation plan for operational areas. You have been asked to follow up on one of the above issues and present a proposal to be forwarded to the board of directors.
