IPLOCA recognises the pipeline industry’s responsibility for social and environmental protection and commits to actively promote the adoption of all practicable measures to ensure that pipeline planning, engineering and construction are conducted efficiently in a sustainable, social and environmentally responsible manner.

To this end IPLOCA promotes, advertises and demonstrates best practice of its member and client activities.

Environmental Statistics

Since 2011 IPLOCA has been collecting Environmental statistics from membership, such that aggregate statistics for the industry can be monitored and reported. In 2017, these statistics were combined with the Environmental statistics to create a unique form and report. All Regular Members are required to submit their Health, Safety, & Environmental Statistics to IPLOCA annually.
