This Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and on Remuneration Paid 2024 was approved by the Board of Directors on March 18, 2025, based on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, in compliance with current legal and regulatory requirements.
The Report is divided into:
Eni’s business model supports the company’s commitment to a socially fair energy transition and is aimed at achieving solid financial returns and the creation of long-term value for the main stakeholders, through a strong position throughout the energy value chain: exploration, oil and natural gas exploration and extraction, electricity generation utilising gas and renewable sources, refining oil products, producing biofuels and chemical products from the traditional and bio cycles and developing circular economy processes. In line with that expressed in the corporate mission, Eni works to make, directly or indirectly, a contribution to the achievement of the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and is committed to helping to guarantee energy security, utilising its global portfolio and alliances with producer countries.
The Remuneration Policy supports the achievement of the goals set in the Company’s Strategic Plan by promoting, through a balanced use of performance measures in the short and long-term incentive systems, the alignment of senior management’s interests with the priority of creating sustainable value for shareholders over the medium to long-term.
The 2023-2025 Long-Term Equity-based Incentive Plan supports the Strategic Plan guidelines by providing a specific environmental sustainability and energy transition goals, allocating them an overall weight of 35%.
According to what is reported on page 9 of the Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and remuneration paid 2024, in 2024, the numbers associated with the Severity Incident Rate (SIR) were impacted by 6 fatal injuries suffered by contract workers. The values of the Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) rose, as the decrease in hours worked during the year did not see a corresponding reduction in the total number of injuries recorded.
As regards Net Scope 1+2 Equity Upstream emissions, in 2024, net emissions totalled 6.8 MtCO2eq., down by around 25% with respect to the final figure for 2023.
According to what is reported on page 11 of the Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and remuneration paid 2024, the comparison between the trend of TSR and total CEO/GM remuneration continues to show a high correlation throughout the period from 2015-2024.
