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 members
Our global membership is formed of companies and associations from across the oil, gas and alternative energy industry.
As industry sustainability leaders, members agree to support the Ipieca Principles for climate, nature, people and sustainability, which provide a shared ambition for advancing a sustainable energy transition.
The May round-up showcases members’ commitment to support the local communities where they operate including flood relief support, fund raising for local non-profits, scholarships and internships. We also cover progress on biofuels, nature-based solutions and solar facilities as well as a partnership approach to assist industrial customers’ decarbonisation efforts.
Leaders from business, finance and the conservation community gathered in Cambridge, the UK, for the Nature Action Dialogues, co-hosted by UNEP-WCMC, Proteus Partners and Jesus College Cambridge. This year's theme was 'Countdown to 2030: aligning ambition, scaling integrated action’.
The April round-up showcases continued investment in the energy transition alongside community and nature focused initiatives. Key themes include financing for low-carbon fuels, quantifying carbon stock in Brazil, partnerships to support education, and marine and coastal ecosystem restoration.
