This report from Ipieca-Energy Institute-CIRIA helps companies integrate circular economy principles into every stage of an asset’s life cycle. It provides practical guidance, tools and examples to support the transition from linear approaches to more circular, resource-efficient ways of designing, building, operating and decommissioning assets.
This report presents a comprehensive synthesis of current concepts and methodologies for addressing the challenges of defining, implementing and measuring marine net positive impact (NPI).
This report evaluates existing circular economy measurement frameworks and identifies how a combination of frameworks enables better measurement of circular economy by oil and gas companies.
This guidance clarifies currently used terminology in the water stewardship space and presents users with a streamlined water stewardship action scheme that synthesises water frameworks and disclosure standards for the energy sector.
This document provides examples of how Ipieca companies are taking ambitious biodiversity actions which contribute towards the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework.
This 3-part webinar series aims to deepen understanding around the challenges and solutions to the increased demand for mining raw materials for the energy transition, particularly in wind and solar energy projects.
The increasing global movement of people and goods elevates the risk of the introduction, spread, and establishment of invasive alien species (IAS), impacting biodiversity and businesses. This document provides guidance for prevention and management.
Ipieca and IOGP members share their companies' experiences in developing and utilising BAPs.
This Ipieca-IOGP guidance is designed to help HSE/SD professionals to develop biodiversity action plans (BAPs) for their activities and projects.
This document outlines the key messages on BES good practices for the industry, and explores how industry and governments can support and work with each other to mainstream biodiversity across the energy transition.
