Eni launches today the 12 ° sustainability report, Eni For 2017. The report describes how the company is integrating sustainability principles into all phases of its business.
"We are a company that operates in energy and we feel the responsibility of contributing to the construction of a future in which each of us can have an efficient and sustainable access to energy," commented Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni. "Integrating all aspects of sustainability into our business is fundamental to achieving this commitment: it creates value for the countries in which we operate and for our company, reducing risks and opening up new opportunities."
Sustainability is becoming an ever more integral part of Eni's operations in all lines of business, starting from the company's highest level of action, the Board of Directors, which in the 2014 created a Sustainability Committee.
Eni is also working with important partners to share best practices and develop common initiatives. The section of Eni For 2017 dedicated to decarbonisation, for example, follows the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate - related Financial Disclosure (TTCFD), of which Eni is the only member of the Oil & Gas industry. Eni is also a founding member of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OOGCI) and actively participates in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCACC) of the United Nations Environment Program (UUN Environment).
The Eni For 2017 Report explains in detail the work carried out in three fundamental areas :: climate change, operating methods, and cooperation with communities and third parties, with the aim of improving access to energy. It contains case studies of operational excellence and interviews with leading partners.
