San Donato Milanese (Milan), 27 January 2026 - Eni has ranked first in the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) published on 14 January by the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) and discussed today in the webinar marking WBA’s 2026 Key findings. This assessment is part of a global analysis that has recognised Eni as one of the 2,000 world’s most influential companies with the scale, reach and responsibility to catalyse a meaningful, sustainable change, providing a transparent assessment of how businesses manage and respect human rights across their operations and value chains.
The Corporate Human Rights Benchmark assesses around 100 companies operating in five high-risk sectors and evaluates performance across five measurement areas: policy commitments, board-level accountability, embedding respect for human rights into corporate culture and management systems, human rights due diligence, and remedies and grievance mechanisms. Eni’s first-place ranking represents an improvement compared to its third position in 2023 and its confirmed inclusion in the top decile of the benchmark represents an objective set out in the Company’s 2025 Strategic Plan.
For Eni, this result is both a recognition of the progress achieved and an incentive to continue strengthening its approach, as widely expressed in the report “Eni for Human Rights” published in 2025. Eni’s commitment to respect human rights is integrated into its Mission and outlined in the policy “Respect for Human Rights in Eni”, approved by the Board of Directors and aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The same commitment is reflected in Eni’s Code of Ethics and in Supplier Code of Conduct, which guide the engagement with business partners and stakeholders worldwide.
