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 round up shares Ipieca members’ investment in renewables—with two members set to develop over 3 GW of solar power. It features carbon capture and storage and hydrogen projects and solutions, and highlights how electrifying operations can lead to large emissions reductions.
26 September is World Maritime Day 2024. This year’s theme ‘Navigating the future: safety first’ reflects the IMO's work to enhance maritime safety and security, in tandem with the protection of the marine environment. The theme also provides the opportunity to focus on the safety implications arising from the introduction of alternative fuels including measures to reduce GHG emissions from ships.
This new resource supports oil, gas and alternative energy companies and practitioners to undertake engagement with local stakeholders that moves beyond meeting the minimum expectations, by providing guidance on broader, inclusive and ongoing two-way processes for ‘meaningful engagement’.
Making offshore platforms more sustainable, enhancing emergency preparedness, leveraging artificial intelligence to advance the journey to net-zero, and developing a platform for ocean data – these are just some of the advancements our members are making across the globe to contribute to the energy transition in the context of sustainable development.
This guidance presents the first oil and gas specific set of circularity indicators, bringing together elements from a number of existing circular economy (CE) frameworks and providing qualitive and quantitative CE indicators to enable oil and gas companies to measure the circularity of their assets and material in/out flows.
