UN Sustainable Development Goals

Case studies provide evidence of achievements in corporate sustainability while pursuing the adopted United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, thus highlighting the possibilities made available by digital twin technology.

The second annual progress report showcases how the SDG Roadmap is being implemented by Ipieca and its member companies.

Ipieca, the global oil and gas association for advancing environmental and social performance, has listed eight principles to which members must adhere to support UN initiatives, climate action, environmental responsibility, social performance, and sustainability.

Is it possible for an extractive industry like oil and gas to not only improve efficiency and reduce negative impacts, but also leave operations sites and surrounding areas in a better state than they were found? Much of the public debate revolves around climate change, but measures of ecosystem resilience are dropping precipitously. Why should we care?

A roadmap for the oil and gas sector created by IPIECA and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development presents more than 90 transformational actions that are designed to accelerate the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

To meet the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, countries must safeguard the gains already attained and accelerate efforts to achieve affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.

While sustainability is approached through various means within the industry, at its core is the welfare of human beings. Recent SPE papers demonstrate the importance of human rights in the industry’s drive toward sustainability.

The tech giant has said it will choose startups to support based solely on their past work or their potential to drive progress toward the 169 targets listed under the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals.

This paper presents the recent expansion of UNFC guidance to cover social and environmental effects and the further transformation of the system to make it a valuable tool in resource management for governments and businesses.

The UN's sustainable development goals were designed to engage the private sector in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. Four years into the timeline, the question is whether companies are advancing serious solutions or are simply embarking on a massive public relations charade.
