The Ipieca Principles and the Ipieca-WBCSD SDG Roadmap are key frameworks through which Ipieca aims to inspire action. These member action case studies provide tangible examples of how members are operationalising the principles and embedding SDG Roadmap actions in their businesses, offering inspiration and insights for other companies. Relevant Ipieca good practice guidance and resources are provided to further support companies to take the next step on their sustainability journey.
The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), adopted by 196 Parties at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15 in 2022, represents the global biodiversity agenda for the next decade and the common ground across societal sectors to enact positive actions for halting and reversing nature degradation.
Circular economy is a system solution framework that entails decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. Ipieca members work to increase the circularity of their production processes and products, producing the energy the world needs, while reducing impacts on natural resources and biodiversity, and cutting emissions.
Water quality and quantity is of global environmental concern, presenting risks and opportunities for the industry. The industry is committed to managing its consumption of water, working to protect the quality of water through project life cycles and contribute to SDG 5 – Clean water and sanitation.
Biodiversity is vital to ensuring healthy people and a healthy planet, providing the foundation for economic growth, human health and prosperity. Ipieca members are committed to supporting the aims of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity—which acts as an international framework of reference for biodiversity issues.
Marine spill preparedness and response is key to minimising environmental impacts and ensuring the sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources for economic development and human wellbeing. Ipieca members monitor, assess and respond to marine-spill related developments and engage with external stakeholders, including governments and regulators, to enhance understanding, build capacity, and run practice exercises.
