Why a global energy tech company

We operate across the entire energy value chain on a global scale, integrating industrial expertise and technological innovation. In recent years, we have undergone a profound business transformation, investing in R&D and cutting-edge technologies to lower the carbon intensity of our products and services. 

At the same time, we remain committed continue to ensuring reliable supplies, contributing to the stability of energy systems in an ever-evolving geopolitical landscape. 

We have all learned to think and act in a new way, embracing new industrial paradigms, new businesses, with relentless research and innovation, while maintaining a constant focus on integration.

Carbon neutrality and energy security

The global energy landscape is characterised by growing demand, driven by economic and demographic development, and an energy transition progressing at varying speeds and trajectories across geographical areas. In this context, geopolitical tensions and market fragmentation have returned security of supply to the heart of energy policy, balanced against decarbonisation objectives. 

Our strategy is built on a path of industrial and financial transformation launched in 2014, combining a progressive reduction in carbon intensity, with the diversification of supply sources and the integration of innovative technologies across the entire value chain. 

Our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, while ensuring a stable, reliable and competitive energy offering throughout the areas in which we operate. 

The role of gas in the transition

Along this journey, natural gas remains a pivotal transition fuel. Thanks to ts flexibility and lower carbon footprint compared to other fossil fuels, it helps safeguard energy security and supports the scaling f renewables.

Our exploration and production activities, combined with infrastructure development and international partnerships, enhance geographical supply diversification and the resilience of the energy system. 

Addressing the energy trilemma

Our strategy addresses the three pillars of the energy trilemma as defined by the World Energy Council: achieving environmental sustainability while ensuring energy security and economic and social affordability for all.  

This integrated approach enables us to provide increasingly sustainable and affordable energy, without compromising the reliability of the system. 

Clean and accessible energy: a visible objective on the horizon if shared

All our actions are aimed at ensuring access to increasingly clean energy for a growing world population.

Towards the Just Transition

As we state in our mission, the energy transition must be socially equitable: a Just Transition. To this end, we adopt tailored solutions aligned with the local contexts of the countries in which we operate. We foster development alliances by transferring skills to partners and communities, in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Sustainability principles are fully embedded in our business model and guide our strategic choices, with a constant focus on people, human rights, and the protection of the environment and biodiversity.
