- SUSTAINABILITY
San Donato Milanese, Milan, 10 April 2020 – Eni’s people have raised over 600,000 euros in three weeks to support the Italian Red Cross in its aid to the population during the present emergency.
From 18 March to 9 April, Eni’s employees have chosen to donate the value of one or more hours of their work through an initiative proposed by employees and implemented by the company, which will collect the hours donated and give them to the Italian Red Cross to help it handle the emergency.
The Italian Red Cross is working on the front line all over the country with volunteers providing a wide range of services. They focus a great deal of their energy on helping the most vulnerable, who are in greatest need of all.
“I am particularly proud of this initiative because it was spontaneous on the part of our people and shows how, even at such a difficult time, they maintain community spirit and think about those in greatest need,” said Claudio Descalzi, Eni’s Chief Executive Officer.
These donations bolster the efforts made by Eni as a company to support those on the front line handling the health emergency in Italy. The company has committed a total of around 35 million euros.
The Italian Red Cross is on the front line since the beginning of the Covid-19 emergency, all over the national territory, with thousands of volunteers and personnel who are working strenuously to support the population. The Red Cross is working to guarantee emergency interventions, logistic and medical support, while dealing, in all safety, with the transport of suspicious cases using high bio-containment vehicles. On top of its emergency response, it is also seeking to transform this difficult moment in “The time for kindness:” it is increasing, all over the country, its services to the most vulnerable and those with greater social and medical weaknesses, by delivering groceries at home, offering transportation, delivering medications and basic essentials.
