Abstract

What you will learn:

The sustainability reporting landscape for mining is evolving rapidly, with increasing expectations shaped by global frameworks such as ISSB (including emerging Canadian developments including the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) and Canadian Sustainability Reporting Standards (CSRS), TCFD, and TNFD. At the same time, mining organizations face growing scrutiny regarding the credibility of sustainability claims, including the implications of Canada’s anti-greenwashing legislation (Bill C-59).

This interactive short course provides a practical, mining-focused approach to understanding ESG reporting requirements and translating sustainability commitments into operational practice. Rather than treating reporting frameworks as disconnected requirements, participants will explore how key standards align, where they differ, and how a structured, risk-based approach can simplify reporting while strengthening business resilience.

Using practical examples and applied tools, the session will explore how mining organizations can identify material sustainability issues, prioritize risks, support stronger governance and decision-making, and generate reporting outputs that are credible, defensible, and meaningful.

Designed for practitioners and decision-makers alike, this course moves beyond compliance-focused reporting to help participants connect sustainability disclosure with real operational impact.
