Throughout 2024, we carried out surveys and interviews with our members and senior figures from UN, NGO, civil society and academic organisations to find out what they see as the key sustainability issues facing the industry, and how Ipieca, through its 2025-2028 Strategy, can support its members and the wider industry.
The key strategic issue to rise out of this review process was how to balance decarbonisation of the industry while meeting the world’s energy needs for social and economic development.
Members and stakeholders recognised that Ipieca is uniquely positioned to help tackle this challenge. It provides a platform to bring together a significant proportion of the oil, gas and alternative energy industry, together with other sectors also key to the energy transition, such as the hard-to-abate, mining and metal sectors, around interconnected sustainability issues.
We are excited by the mandate the new strategy gives us to convene members with other sectors and stakeholders to support a transition that delivers for people and the planet.
Ipieca’s 2025-2028 Strategy will lead the integration of climate, nature and people actions across the oil, gas and alternative energy industry value chain, along with enhanced transparency through sustainability reporting, for a sustainable energy transition. We are well-equipped to help our members navigate a changing global landscape through our ability to address these topics in a holistic way.
In addition to sharing knowledge and good practice across the above areas, Ipieca will enable an accelerated industry contribution to a sustainable world through action underpinned by collaboration and shared understanding across the UN, business, finance and civil society.
Our work over the next four years will drive understanding and delivery of diverse pathways to net-zero, support the resilience and rehabilitation of local communities and ecosystems, and enable the industry to adapt to the changing reporting and disclosure landscape.
We are excited by the mandate the new strategy gives us to convene members with other sectors and stakeholders to support a transition that delivers for people and the planet.
