Sustainable procurement and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are an integral part of modern corporate management.
IPA is a participant in the UN Global Compact and its ‘ten principles’ inform all our strategies, policies, and procedures.
This corporate directive must be followed by everyone in the organisation: we expect all our sub-contractors, suppliers, and service providers to abide by its principles, and we will not work with any organisation known to be in breach of them.
Our commitment

- support and respect human rights

- prevent discrimination in respect of employment and occupation
- take a precautionary approach to environmental challenges
