Ipieca brings together members and stakeholders to lead in integrating sustainability by advancing climate action, environmental responsibility and social performance across oil, gas and renewables activities.
Ipieca was founded at the request of the United Nations Environment Programme in 1974. Through its non-lobby and collaborative approach Ipieca remains the industry's principal channel of engagement with the UN.
Ipieca members
Our global membership is formed of companies and associations from across the oil, gas and alternative energy industry.
As industry sustainability leaders, members agree to support the Ipieca Principles for climate, nature, people and sustainability, which provide a shared ambition for advancing a sustainable energy transition.
This quarter Ipieca attended the UNFCCC Bonn Climate Change Conference, UNEP-WCMC Nature Action Dialogues, ICAO Aviation Climate Week and IMO sessions. We also raised awareness of several UN days, and published two resources aligned with UN conventions and initiatives.
From a fuel-flexible gas turbine for shipping, a carbon credits initiative mobilising ecological restoration and green jobs in the Amazon, to a real-time methane emissions management platform, and a clean cooking programme—Ipieca members are continuing to innovate and deliver practical, scalable solutions to sustainability challenges across the globe.
