Unique number:
Due Date: 30 March 2026
INTRODUCTION
This assignment examines how communication practices and design choices can support
sustainable development within a global and local context. The adoption of the Sustainable
Development Goals by the United Nations provides a clear framework for addressing
challenges such as inequality, education, and environmental sustainability. The 2025
progress report shows that while some progress has been made, many targets are still not
on track. This highlights the need for practical and creative approaches in fields such as
Public Relations and media production.
The discussion in this assignment focuses on environmentally responsible printing methods,
inclusive poster design, and the role of digital publishing tools in modern communication. It
also explores how structured planning can improve communication projects such as
newsletters aimed at addressing social issues like hunger. By linking these areas to specific
Sustainable Development Goals, the assignment shows how communication professionals
can contribute to positive social change and development.

QUESTION 1
One printing technique that is more environmentally friendly is digital printing. This
method supports sustainability because it uses less energy and fewer resources
compared to traditional printing methods such as offset printing. Digital printing does
not require printing plates or complex machine setup, which means there is less
energy consumption during the preparation stage. This links directly to SDG 7, which
promotes the use of clean and efficient energy in production processes (United
Nations, 2025).
Digital printing also reduces material waste. In traditional printing, large quantities
are often printed to make the process cost effective, even when they are not all
needed. This leads to paper waste and unnecessary energy use. Digital printing
allows printing only what is required, which saves paper and reduces energy used in
production. This supports cleaner production methods and responsible use of
resources.
