SUSTAINABILITY

At IPS Group, sustainability is embedded in how we work.

As an independent supplier of OCTG and energy solutions, we take responsibility for how our business affects the planet : reducing environmental impact, operating ethically, and creating positive change through every partnership.

We began with simple choices – a paper-free office, automated invoicing, mindful purchasing – and turned them into lasting habits. From there, our actions grew: measuring emissions, rethinking logistics, and embedding sustainability into strategy.

Business is inseparable from the planet’s future so we start with ourselves, our suppliers, and our clients, always learning, improving, and adapting.

Our Priorities

Decarbonisation & Environmental Responsibility.

We’re focused on where we can make the greatest difference.
In collaboration with STEPS Sustainability Consultants, we performed an in-depth analysis of our emissions and built a 2025–2035 decarbonisation roadmap aligned with SBTi targets to reduce emissions by 63% by 2035.

Our focus areas:

Use phase: Grow in lower-carbon markets (particularly geothermal) and integrate these priorities into group policy.
Manufacturing: Favour mills using electric arc furnaces (EAF), reuse surplus pipes, refurbish and upcycle materials, and guide customers toward lower-impact options.
Transportation: When available, opt for greener freight solutions and optimise routes and modes to reduce logistics emissions.

In 2025, IPS earned an EcoVadis Gold Medal, over 20% improvement over two years, placing us in the top 5% of companies in our sector – a clear signal that we’re on the right path.

Health, Safety and Wellbeing.

We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest HSE standards, ensuring every project, workplace, and shipment meets or exceeds regulatory requirements.

Our approach

Safety : Safe operations across the supply chain, compliance, or personal protective measures.
Preventive systems : Regular safety audits, risk assessments, and emergency readiness.
