Business plan is a clear explanation about business process, strategy in a written form. A business plan is living, and breathing able to change be flexible any startup or existing business can (Abdul & Mustapa, 2008). A business plan is a guide that outlines good for your business and how you plan to reach there. Any entrepreneur who wants funding for his startup or someone who is seeking to expand his business must present his business plan to the angle investor or venture capitalist (Rodrigues, 2015).

Sustainable business or green business is an enterprise that have minimum negative impact global or local environment, community, society, or economy in a business that able to balance the nature/ environment or profit/ revenue (Chen, 2015). Sustainable business is a progressive environmental and human right policies. Finally it is the business that makes the needs of present without compromising the future generation. In general business is designed as Green and it matches the following 4 - criteria:

  • It incorporate principle of sustainability and to reach of its business decisions.

  • It apply in environmentally friendly products or services that replaces demand for non-green product. For Example, Tesla Motor and Solar city of Elon Musk.

  • It is greater than traditional business.

  • It has made on a commitment to environmental principal and business operation.

Now I am planning to run a Smart School in Kathmandu Valley and the main object is to promote skill based education. The main aim of our business is to provide skill based education to all children and make them self-employed. But nowadays business process is going really challenging day by day because, in sustainable business we will have clean idea, strategies on environment and nature. And we have developed a "smart school” is a sustainable business. Because in school we have 500 students and they have 4 members and we have easy access to reach 2000 people. So we can convince them about nature, and how day by day nature is going damaged? So here, the three action that I can take as diced the sustainability lenses.

  • Environment related content design and develop

  • Awareness Program on sustainable business process

  • Re - use the chemical and other electronic products.

We are planning to make an environment related content and teach and aware those about environment, global warming, environmental issues and sustainable business, re cycle the material etc. After that we convince them to share their ideas, knowledge with their parents, friends and society after that family, society. We also plan to recycle the chemical and use old electronic goods, electrical instrument and computer parts for our maker space and students will be able to learn more and design a new product by using those old component.
