Our mission, our values

The principles underlying our vision guide our actions in the journey towards a socially fair and just energy transition. This leads us to offer services, products and solutions that are increasingly sustainable

Knowledge for a future that begins today

Eni's mission is inspired by the UN 2030 Agenda, which was launched in September 2015, when more than 150 world leaders met to support global development, promote human wellbeing and protect the environment. The UN 2030 Agenda is an action plan that incorporates 17 Sustainable Development Goals, embracing all aspects of social, economic and environmental development in an organic and integrated way.
