Broad ownership: small investors driving change
Openness to individual investors is a key element of our financial discipline, as it contributes to ensuring the stability of Eni's action and fosters a direct dialogue with the market. The active participation of small shareholders strengthens trust in the company, promotes transparent governance and contributes to the spread of a shared culture. This is why we recognise the significant role of retail investors and are constantly working to consolidate a long-term relationship of trust, which is essential for growth and the creation of shared value.
To date, individual investors account for 16.182% of shareholders. Each of them actively contributes to supporting Eni's strategy to accelerate the process towards carbon neutrality with products and services aimed at decarbonisation, thereby creating lasting value through a just transition focusing on energy security and the well-being of people.
This approach also involves Eni employees who, through the 2024-2026 Employee Stock Ownership Plan, may benefit from the annual allocation of free shares worth two thousand euros. With a participation rate exceeding 95%, the initiative represents an innovative model in Italy, with potential extension to foreign employees.
Individual investors
A fundamental resource for us, a safe and transparent opportunity to become part of change, with an active role in Eni's growth and strategic decisions.
Leveraging this model, we promote a wider and more shared participation by investors, allowing everyone to own a stake in the company while guaranteeing maximum transparency and protection of invested capital. All shareholders can follow the performance of their shares and Eni's results, share our strategies and, in addition to receiving dividends, actively participate in the company’s decisions by voting at the Shareholders’ meeting. For its part, Eni is constantly committed to protecting shareholders from illegal activities, combating all types of financial scams and fraudulent initiatives targeting investors, in collaboration with the relevant authorities. It is also possible to make a report online through the website of the State Police.
What are financial scams and how to recognise them
Financial scams for individual investors are fraudulent or deceptive activities that exploit the lack of knowledge or experience of individual investors to steal money from them. They can spread online in the form of e-mail communications, instant messaging, social media posts and advertising banners, illicitly exploiting Eni's image for fraudulent purposes. Scams can take many forms and often present themselves as high-return, low-risk investment opportunities.

Types of financial fraud
Here is a selection of the most common scams and useful information on how to protect yourself and report the incident.
Ponzi and pyramid schemes
In these types of scam, the gains made by the most recent investors are paid out with the money of the previous ones, instead of being invested in profitable businesses. These schemes collapse when there are not enough new investors.
How to recognise them:
- they promise extraordinarily high earnings with little to no risk
- it is difficult to obtain clear information on the investments
- they pressure potential new investors to sign up.
Scams involving low-risk, high-yield investments
These types of fraud offer investment opportunities with very high returns and "minimal risk," a contradiction in the world of finance.
How to recognise them:
- they promise earnings that are too high to be credible
- they refuse to provide clear and transparent information on the investment
- they talk about "exclusive opportunities" or "secret investments".
Fake Financial Advisors
These are scammers who present themselves as experts in the field to get money from customers, often promising advice on investments that are actually non-existent or malicious.
How to recognise them:
- the advisor does not have an appropriate licence or certifications
- they guarantee returns without any risk
- they pressure potential investors to sign up immediately.
Phishing and online scams
These cyberattacks aim to obtain sensitive user information, such as credit card numbers or bank account login details through emails, fake websites or fraudulent messages.
How to recognise them:
- communications are received from unknown or suspicious sources
- the websites have unconventional or non-secure URLs (e.g., a URL that is not "https")
- their messages ask for personal or financial information urgently.
