The International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) is the global oil and gas industry association dedicated to advancing environmental and social performance across the energy transition. It was established in 1974 at the request of the United Nations Environment Programme to provide a principal channel of engagement between the industry and the UN on climate, environmental and social issues.

Over more than five decades, IPIECA has brought together member companies and stakeholders to integrate sustainability, promote climate action, environmental responsibility, and social performance across oil, gas and alternative energy activities. Through its non-lobby, collaborative approach, it develops and shares good practice guidance, convenes expertise, and facilitates knowledge exchange to support industry contribution to sustainable development.

IPIECA engages with United Nations bodies, governments, civil society, and other partners to address key global challenges such as biodiversity, methane emissions, human rights and sustainable development goals. The association’s work informs policy dialogue, enhances performance, and positions the industry to contribute to a sustainable energy future.
