NEW QUESTION # 20
Which organisation was established in 1992 as a forum for international action on climate change?
- A. Fairtrade Foundation
- B. MCC
- C. The Clinton Foundation
- D. UNFCCC
Answer: D
Explanation:
UNFCCC.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
I guess, having re-visited this question in 2022, originally written in 2020, the 'CC' at the end of the possible answers, reduces the risk of people selecting a wrong answer.
Doesn't work for 'MCC' though as that stands for 'Marylebone Cricket Club' which was founded in 1787, and is 'the guardian of the laws of cricket'. (Source: MCC)
NEW QUESTION # 21
The global distribution company, DHL, is quoted in one of the textbooks for this subject, as saying that they 'wish our planet to remain habitable for generations to come', and that they hope to achieve zero emissions by which year?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: D
Explanation:
2050 is the correct answer.
There is an issue with the dates for many organisational targets. They are far too pessimistic to be genuinely effective in dealing with sustainability issues. Even if you didn't know DHL's target date, you may know that many large companies and governments don't quite feel the urgency of the 'emergency'. There are many opinion-leaders who feel that a sense of urgency needs to be injected.

NEW QUESTION # 24
Select all of the following which would pose a health and safety risk within a warehouse environ-ment.
- A. Slip and trip hazards
- B. Working at height
- C. Manual handling
- D. Proximity to moving vehicles
Answer: A,B,C,D
Explanation:
The correct answer is that all of these shown create hazards, which along with exposure to chemi-cals, gases and some forms of dust, must be guarded against. In most countries there is legislation which should be observed to promote safe working.
Warehouses and factories are highly hazardous places, and managers should ensure that stringent safety procedures are followed to the letter, in some cases, upon pain of dismissal for employees. For examples, vehicles and humans should be physically separated wherever possible, and items at height should be handled with utmost care.
(Yesterday I witnessed a crane manoeuvre (outside the UK) where an operative was standing di-rectly under a very heavy item, which had it fallen, would have instantly killed the operative. Such practices need to be trained out of people, irrespective of the cost.) (L3M6)

Choose the most appropriate answer.
- A. A socially responsible buying approach would require not only minimum wage, but in some circumstances greater than minimum wage as this may not be sufficient to sup-port an employee to live decently.
- B. No, it is none of the buying organisation's business what rate of pay is paid within a supply organisation.
- C. Yes, it is a valid question in some circumstances.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The most appropriate answer is:
A socially responsible buying approach would require not only minimum wage, but in some circum-stances greater than minimum wage as this may not be sufficient to support an employee to live de-cently.
This question is inspired by a recent visit to a country where there is a statutory minimum wage, but it is so low that most people would be unable to provide shelter and food based on that income. The wage to which I refer is less than $1 per hour.

Approximately what percentage of costs, of running heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), is accounted for by fuel costs?
- A. 20%
- B. 51%
- C. 7%
- D. 33%
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is roughly one-third, or 33%.
This means that fuel costs are very important to road haulage firms, and alternative means of either transportation or power for trucks would be desirable, both to reduce costs and to aid the environ-ment.
Using your learning and your experience, what do you think the other main costs are of running a heavy goods vehicle fleet? I'll leave you to come up with some of the key areas yourself.
