About Ipieca
Ipieca is the global oil and gas association dedicated to advancing environmental and social performance across the energy transition. It 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's Nature programmes
Ipieca promotes environmentally responsible operations across the oil, gas, and alternative energy sector to advance protection of the natural environment, minimise and mitigate risks and impacts from operations and products, and support the energy transition.
