In compliance with the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and the related transposing laws, the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, the Organization, Management and Control Models pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, and Eni’s internal Anti‑Corruption Regulatory Instruments, we have adopted a system designed to encourage whistleblowing reports made in good faith and in the interest of Eni, ensuring the confidentiality of the whistleblower’s identity and of all other individuals involved, and protecting them from retaliatory consequences. Whistleblowers are encouraged not to disclose information related to the whistleblowing report to third parties, in order to preserve confidentiality protections.
The Eni whistleblowing reporting system must not be used to offend or damage the honor and/or the personal and/or professional reputation of the individual(s) to whom the reported facts refer, nor to knowingly spread unfounded accusations.
In accordance with the applicable regulations, regardless of the subject of the whistleblowing report or the Eni entity concerned, it is always possible to send whistleblowing reports directly to Eni SpA. This is also due to the role of Eni’s Board of Statutory Auditors, which owns the process in its capacity as the Audit Committee under SOX regulations. At the same time, the possibility remains to use the specific reporting channels established by subsidiaries, in the cases and in accordance with what is provided for by the applicable regulations.
Regardless of the channel used, all Eni people — as well as all those who operate or have operated in Italy and abroad in the name of or on behalf of or in the interest of Eni, each within the scope of their functions and responsibilities — are guaranteed the possibility to report violations identified in the work context, in compliance with local regulations implementing Directive (EU) 2019/1937. In particular, a whistleblowing report is any communication concerning conduct in violation of national or European Union laws and regulations, measures by the Authorities, Code of Ethics, Model 231 or Compliance Models for foreign subsidiaries and internal regulations (including, among others, the Zero Tolerance policy against violence and harassment at work), in observance of the specific provisions of the locally applicable regulations implementing Directive (EU) 2019/1937.
The rules governing this matter are set out in the regulation “Management of whistleblowing reports received by Eni SpA and by its Subsidiaries” (available in the “Publications” section of this page). The approval and updates of the procedure have been carried out in line with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/23.
Whistleblowing reports may be submitted through a dedicated Platform, which you can access by clicking the “Send a report” button:
