The Institute of Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards (IPESS) is committed to upholding the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility across all its programmes, operations, and partnerships. Through its Safeguards and Grievance Management framework, IPESS ensures that project activities are implemented in a manner that protects the environment, respects human rights, promotes social inclusion, and prevents or mitigates potential risks to individuals and communities. The safeguards policies and grievance mechanisms provide clear procedures for risk management, ethical conduct, stakeholder engagement, and the reporting and resolution of concerns. The information and policy documents available on this page outline the institutional standards, responsibilities, and mechanisms through which IPESS promotes accountability, transparency, and a safe and respectful environment for staff and students.
