Course Overview

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, environmental and social compliance is no longer optional—it is a strategic imperative. With increasing pressure from regulators, global investors, civil society, and communities, organizations must align their operations with internationally recognized standards to remain competitive and avoid reputational and financial risks. The “Environmental and Social Compliance for Industry Operations” course by Pideya Learning Academy is meticulously designed to guide professionals through the intricate landscape of environmental and social governance, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to embed compliance into every level of their operations.
According to the United Nations Environment Programme, environmental damage caused by human activities is expected to cost the global economy a staggering USD 28 trillion annually by 2050 if left unaddressed. Additionally, the World Bank notes that over 90% of developing countries lack effective social risk governance frameworks, resulting in challenges such as community displacement, labor disputes, and stakeholder disengagement. These figures emphasize the urgency for industries to adopt sustainable, transparent, and accountable compliance mechanisms rooted in global best practices.
To respond to this growing demand, Pideya Learning Academy’s “Environmental and Social Compliance for Industry Operations” course offers a holistic and future-ready curriculum tailored to industry professionals. Participants will gain critical insights into compliance frameworks, operational risk management, ESG reporting, and stakeholder engagement.

Engagement methodologies for stakeholders, including indigenous and vulnerable communities
ESG reporting aligned with global standards such as GRI, SASB, and TCFD
Integration of E&S compliance into procurement, contractor management, and supply chains
Each module has been carefully curated to offer a structured learning experience that balances theoretical frameworks with sector-specific insights. Whether you are managing compliance for a mining project, overseeing sustainability in a manufacturing plant, or supporting environmental governance in the energy sector, this course is tailored to provide relevant, actionable knowledge.
By the end of this program, participants will be capable of leading E&S compliance programs, strengthening social license to operate, and aligning organizational practices with national and international expectations.
