One of Ipieca’s core roles is to support UN conventions and agreements. We do this by raising awareness and providing technical support. Ipieca develops good practice which enables oil, gas and alternative energy companies to contribute to their fulfilment.

Ipieca Principles - what we stand for
A condition of membership, the Ipieca Principles are grouped around our four strategic pillars of climate, nature, people and sustainability. Each thematic area includes two principles: the first drives support for a UN convention or initiative, the second advances the environmental and social performance of member companies' operations.
Climate- Support the Paris Agreement and its aims.
- Advance emissions reduction and innovation and enable adoption of low-carbon products and solutions across oil, gas and/or alternative energy.
Nature- Support the aims of the UN Convention for Biological Diversity.
- Responsibly manage operational impacts on the natural environment and ecosystem services.
People- Support the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
- Promote the health, wellbeing and social inclusion of workforces and local communities relating to operations, and contribute to the social and economic development of host communities and countries.
Sustainability- Support the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as embodied by the Sustainable Development Goals.
- Integrate sustainability across activities, increase transparency and engage with key stakeholders.
