<p><strong>What are the material issues the company has identified?  </strong></p>
<p>In its 2022 A Just Transition and Sustainability performance reports Eni identified a range of material issues, such as combatting climate change, diversity, inclusion and work-life balance, circular economy, health and safety of workers. Among these, creating economic value for its stakeholders stands out as a key material issue for Eni.</p>
<p><strong>Stakeholder engagement in accordance with the GRI Standards               </strong></p>
<p>The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) defines the Principle of Stakeholder Inclusiveness when identifying material issues (or a company’s most important impacts) as follows:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.globalreporting.org/standards/gri-standards-download-center/gri-101-foundation-containing-standard-interpretation-1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The reporting organization shall identify its stakeholders, and explain how it has responded to their reasonable expectations and interests.”</a></p>
<p>Stakeholders must be consulted in the process of identifying a company’s most important impacts and their reasonable expectations and interests must be taken into account. This is an important cornerstone for CSR / sustainability reporting done responsibly.</p>

<p><strong>How stakeholder engagement was made to identify material issues </strong></p>
<p>To identify and prioritise material topics Eni engaged with its stakeholders through a questionnaire.</p>
<p><strong>What actions were taken by</strong><strong> Eni </strong><strong>to create economic value for its stakeholders</strong><strong>?</strong></p>
<p>In its 2022 A Just Transition and Sustainability performance reports Eni reports that it took the following actions for creating economic value for its stakeholders:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Creating economic value for employees </strong></li>
<li>In 2022, Eni paid € 3,015 million for employee wages and salaries.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Creating economic value for capital suppliers</strong></li>
<li>In 2022, Eni paid € 6,419 million to capital suppliers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Creating economic value for the public administration</strong></li>
<li>In 2022, Eni paid € 8,488 million to the public administration.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Which GRI Standards and corresponding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been addressed?</strong></p>
<p>The GRI Standard addressed in this case is: <a href="https://www.globalreporting.org/standards/media/1039/gri-201-economic-performance-2016.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disclosure 201-1 Direct economic value generated and distributed</a></p>
<p><strong>Disclosure 201-1 </strong>Direct economic value generated and distributed corresponds to:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.globalreporting.org/standards/resource-download-center/sdg-compass-annex-linking-the-sdgs-and-gri-standards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8</a>: Decent Work and Economic Growth</li>

<li><strong>Targets: </strong>9.1, 9.4, 9.5</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>78% of the world’s 250 largest companies report in accordance with the GRI Standards</strong></p>
<p>SustainCase was primarily created to demonstrate, through case studies, the importance of dealing with a company’s most important impacts in a structured way, with use of the GRI Standards. To show how today’s best-run companies are achieving economic, social and environmental success – and how you can too.</p>

<p><strong>What actions were taken by</strong><strong> Eni</strong> <strong>to promote human rights among its suppliers</strong><strong>?</strong></p>
<p>In its Eni for 2019 Report Eni reports that it took the following actions for promoting human rights among its suppliers:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Engaging suppliers</strong></li>
<li>Eni is carrying out numerous engagement initiatives with its suppliers, including the following:
<ul>
<li>Local meetings for local companies, organised in collaboration with trade associations and/or local authorities, during which Eni’s sustainability values and principles are illustrated;</li>
<li>Individual meetings with selected suppliers within the scope of assessments on human rights, to create awareness on the promotion and respect for human rights; in 2019, 9 suppliers were involved, of which 3 from Vietnam, 1 from Ecuador, 1 from Mexico and 4 from Tunisia;</li>
<li>Annual events with the participation and recognition of suppliers with the best safety performance who also distinguished themselves by their commitment (Safety &amp; Environment Day).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Implementing a code of conduct for suppliers</strong></li>
<li>Eni is finalising and subsequently diffusing a code of conduct for suppliers, which confirms the importance of respect for the cardinal principles of sustainability in the supply chain. Lastly, more generally referring to Eni’s business partners, starting from 2018, specific human rights clauses were introduced in the agreements stipulated with the countries and with the other companies in activities managed through Joint ventures, to represent and bind the parties to behave in line with the main international standards and to exercise an appropriate form of leverage on them. Every business partner is also subjected to a preventive screening, to identify the presence of any critical issues regarding respect for human rights and to provide the appropriate measures to manage them. In this area, over 70 new business partners were screened in 2019.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Which GRI Standards and corresponding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been addressed? </strong></p>
<p>The GRI Standard addressed in this case is: <a href="https://www.globalreporting.org/standards/media/1029/gri-414-supplier-social-assessment-2016.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disclosure 414-1 New suppliers that were screened using social criteria</a></p>
<p><strong> Disclosure 414-1</strong> New suppliers that were screened using social criteria corresponds to:</p>

<p><strong>78% of the world’s 250 largest companies report in accordance with the GRI Standards</strong></p>
<p>SustainCase was primarily created to demonstrate, through case studies, the importance of dealing with a company’s most important impacts in a structured way, with use of the GRI Standards. To show how today’s best-run companies are achieving economic, social and environmental success – and how you can too.</p>
<p>Research by well-recognised institutions is clearly proving that <a href="https://sustaincase.com/articles-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">responsible companies can look to the future with optimism</a>.</p>
