About This Course

Environmental, Social, and Governance reporting is no longer just about emissions. As regulatory frameworks evolve and stakeholder expectations rise, organizations of every size are being held accountable for how they treat their people, manage their supply chains, and govern themselves at the highest levels. This course focuses on the social and governance pillars of ESG — the areas that are rapidly gaining scrutiny but are often underprepared.

Drawing on over 35 years of experience across finance, technology, and organizational transformation, the instructor examines how HR policies, human rights considerations, and board governance intersect with ESG reporting obligations. From workforce planning and DEI targets to supply chain traceability and activist shareholders, participants will gain a practical understanding of what ESG compliance looks like beyond carbon accounting — and what organizations need to do now to get ahead of emerging standards.

Whether you work in a large enterprise with a dedicated HR team or a smaller organization where one person wears many hats, this course offers actionable insight into building ethical, auditable, and future-ready ESG practices.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
