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.
The June edition highlights efforts to scale up carbon removal and renewable energy solutions, contribute to environmental and climate research, and support the next generation of energy professionals and startups. We also share news from our partners to support healthy oceans, emissions reductions, climate adaptation and sustainable aviation.
Ipieca, in collaboration with IOGP, has completed the update of the 'Compendium of energy and GHG efficient technologies and practices'. It acts as a centralised resource on technologies and good practices to improve energy performance and reduce GHG emissions across midstream and downstream oil and gas operations.
The fifth edition of the Ipieca-API-IOGP Sustainability reporting guidance: new just transition indicators and updates to the social indicators through a just transition lens.
Ipieca’s strategy will lead the integration of climate, nature and people actions across the oil, gas and alternative energy industry value chain, driving the delivery of diverse pathways to net-zero, supporting the resilience and rehabilitation of local communities and ecosystems, and enabling the industry to adapt to the changing reporting landscape.
