The IPLOCA HSE & CSR Committee (the Committee) promotes health, safety, environment and sustainable business practices in all areas of its influence.

The Committee will promote safe and socially responsible behaviour as the standard for IPLOCA members. It believes that all accidents are preventable and that it is paramount to minimize impacts on environment and communities.

The Committee promotes the protection of people and the natural environment, as the only way to carry out its activities.

Where feasible, the Committee actively supports initiatives that improve the welfare of surrounding communities, e.g. raising the standards of living and education of local populations.

Specifically, the Committee will:

  • measure HSE performance through statistics and analyse results to identify the root causes of recurrent issues
  • cooperate with the Innovation Committee in the development of “The Road to Success
  • promote the development and implementation of management systems
  • acknowledge innovative best practice through awards
  • encourage communication and knowledge sharing through the Health, Safety and Environment Shared Experiences platform and through devoted workshops
  • promote positive environmental impact and social welfare initiatives
  • uphold ethical governance
  • spread and pursue the four International Labour Organisations core labour standards as set out in the on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

Additionally, the Committee intends to:

  • develop Life Saving Rules set out minimum safety standards and expectations for member organisations
