What Is Environmental Training for Managing Heads?
Environmental training for managing heads is an orientation program designed to help company leaders understand their responsibilities under Philippine environmental regulations. The training addresses the connection between management decisions, environmental protection, and compliance with applicable DENR requirements.
Under DENR Administrative Order No. 2014-02, managing heads of covered establishments are required to undergo the applicable environmental training as part of the framework for Pollution Control Officer accreditation.
While Pollution Control Officers oversee environmental compliance activities within an establishment, managing heads provide organizational direction and support for implementing environmental management measures. Their decisions influence resource allocation, operational procedures, pollution prevention efforts, and the company’s response to environmental obligations.
The eight-hour program introduces managing heads to relevant environmental laws, regulatory requirements, and pollution control responsibilities, helping them make informed decisions and support their designated PCOs.
Why Is Environmental Training Important for Managing Heads?
Environmental compliance involves management decisions across different departments and operational functions. Company leaders need a working understanding of relevant regulations to provide appropriate support for environmental programs and compliance activities.

PCOs need management support to perform their duties effectively. An understanding of the PCO’s responsibilities helps managing heads coordinate with environmental personnel, support compliance initiatives, and address relevant operational concerns.
