This paper presents analysis of Harvard Business School case study “Marks and Spencer: Plan A” by Bell, Sanghavi and Winig. The number of businesses going green is increasing by the day. These initiatives help gain approval from consumers and positively impact the reputation of the firm. This study analyses M&S' sustainability programme which extends beyond environment friendly initiatives and is in fact a significant element of the firm's corporate growth strategy. The internal strengths and weaknesses of the firm and opportunities and threats posed by the external environment are highlighted using SWOT analysis. In addition, a critical discussion on whether M&S' sustainability programme is a source of competitive advantage for the firm is conducted, following which suitable recommendations are suggested.
