BES Issue Management Services
From Environment
IPIECA, jointly with the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), works to responsibly integrate the management of biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) across the life cycle of oil and gas operations and embed the concept of BES issue management within operational practices and management systems. Preserving biodiversity and ecosystems is a priority for sustainable development and is supported by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Details
IPIECA works closely with the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) developing guidance, at external events and in the delivery of key BES issues across the oil and gas industry. This relationship has been formalized through the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organizations. IPIECA also works with the Proteus Partnership which provides companies with the biodiversity information needed for better informed decisions and to support the development and improvement of key global biodiversity resources.
Ecosystem Services
IPIECA’s work on BES is underpinned by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, which acts as an international framework of reference for biodiversity issues. The concept of BES is becoming integrated across a number of sectors and many governments and financial institutions have developed BES-related standards as part of approval processes linked to environmental and social safeguarding frameworks. IPIECA has developed a number of tools and guides to assist industry to meet these standards, and have also developed indicators and metrics to measure performance.
