Ipieca is the global oil and gas association for advancing environmental and social performance across the energy transition. We have been championing good practice for over 50 years.
Ipieca 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 was founded at the request of the United Nations Environment Programme in 1974. Through its non-lobby and collaborative approach Ipieca remains the industry’s principal channel of engagement with the UN.
Ipieca is driving industry action on the energy transition and sustainable development agenda. We bring together the expertise of members and stakeholders to develop good practice and solutions to some of the biggest sustainability challenges facing the planet, providing global leadership to enable an accelerated industry contribution to a sustainable world.
Ipieca’s focus is to share technical knowledge, good practices and solutions to the United Nations and other stakeholders and encourage continuous improvement in industry performance. Our non-lobby status is enabling us to be the industry’s principal channel of engagement with the UN, build trusted relationships throughout the UN system, and develop impactful partnerships across the IGO, NGO and academic worlds.
Collaboration is at the heart of what Ipieca does. We convene technical experts from across our member companies with key stakeholders to explore emerging sustainable development topics and work together to develop good practice guidance across sustainability, climate, nature and people.
Ipieca is the only global sustainability association which covers both the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, providing environmental and social good practice which covers full project lifecycles including supply chain actors. Our scope now also supports alternative energy technologies.
