  • {{sustainability_goals}}: Specific areas you want to address (e.g., energy efficiency, waste reduction, renewable energy).
  • {{constraints}}: Any budget, timeline, or resource constraints (optional).

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Based on the organization context, suggest specific sustainable practices for the requested areas.
