Careers
We support a socially just energy transition to preserve the environment and ensure affordable energy for all. We believe in a common commitment and participation of all stakeholders, including the supply chain. We recognize the key role of our supply chain in the transformation process and promote its development in a sustainable way, actively contributing to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. We share values, commitments and objectives with the supply chain, monitor its ESG positioning throughout the entire process and support it on a sustainable growth path through programmes to improve ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance and market competitiveness.
The three pillars of our commitment
We are committed to engaging every level of the supply chain in a process of improvement, sharing common objectives and adopting a diversified model based on the ESG maturity of companies. We provide specific tools for the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises and encourage larger players to take a leading role in the transformation process to support the supply chains. To facilitate convergence towards sustainable models across the entire value chain, we promote multi-stakeholder initiatives. Open-es, for example, is a systemic initiative that unites the industrial, financial, and associations sectors to assist businesses in measuring and enhancing their ESG dimensions, with the aim of creating value and benefits for the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem.
We integrate the principles of environmental protection, social growth, and economic development into every phase of our process. With this approach, we have adopted the “Sustainable Supply Chain Framework,” a governance mechanism that aligns business objectives, regulatory requirements, targets, and specific action plans impacting the procurement process and, more generally, the supply chain. This framework is implemented through cross-functional oversight of various sustainability dimensions, focusing on priority ESG themes periodically identified based on the corporate strategic plan and the evolution of the regulatory framework.
We support suppliers in meeting diverse ESG requirements by providing tools to assist their sustainable development process and, more broadly, their business competitiveness:
- measurement and improvement tools, such as the Open-es platform, which offers a pathway based on standard metrics aligned with the evolving regulatory context, enabling companies to assess their ESG maturity level, benchmark against industry standards, access tailored development plans, and obtain solutions from selected specialists in the ESG field
- financial support programmes to assist the supply chain, such as “Basket Bond - Sustainable Energy” and the initiative “Sustainable Supply Chain Finance,” allow suppliers to request early payment of invoices without impacting credit lines, thereby incentivising the improvement of the company’s ESG profile through synergies with the Open-es platform. In 2024, as part of the Sustainable Supply Chain Finance programme, a total of around 90 million euros in advance payments was granted
- initiatives such as the Safety & Sustainable Supply Chain Award, to share ESG best practices with suppliers and reward companies that have stood out for their performance and innovative projects, plus the Supplier Diversity 'ID Partnership' initiative, to promote a more inclusive supply chain, emphasising the contribution of businesses owned by under-represented groups.

Open-es: a system alliance to integrate and promote supply chain sustainability
The community for corporate sustainability
A system alliance created to integrate and promote sustainability within supply chains. This is the role of Open-es, an initiative we support with the aim of uniting the efforts of key players in the sectors of industry, finance and in associations and institutions. Through a single, collaborative, and free digital platform, we assist businesses on their growth path in the realm of sustainability.
The systemic approach is indeed the only effective way to reach all businesses along the supply chain, engaging them in coordinated and focused programmes and challenges, monitoring their performance and improvement plans while avoiding the risk of multiplying similar requests that could lead to a detrimental bureaucratic burden, particularly for smaller companies.
Boasting over 28,000 participants as of 2024 – with around 7,000 linked to the Eni supply chain – Open-es engages a broadening array of economic players looking to find practical support for their operational requirements and growth in ESG, creating an interconnected community with the goal of pooling expertise and uniting efforts towards sustainability objectives within a single, unified digital platform.
A digital platform to measure and improve ESG performance
In a context where the need to measure and improve sustainability performance within industrial supply chains is becoming increasingly important, Open-es presents itself as an innovative solution that aims to simplify and trace the ESG path. It does so by engaging the entire value chain through an open and collaborative digital platform that acts as a catalyst for the sustainable growth of the production system. This platform centres on the ESG profile of companies, featuring standardised and transparent measurement models while encompassing the overall framework of supply chains and commercial relationships. This enables each player to collaborate effectively with their stakeholders (suppliers, customers, partners, investors, associations, etc.). It functions as a sort of social network, granting each business full ownership and control over its data and connections, with a specific focus on plans and solutions for improvement.
Open-es allows all businesses to embark on a guided journey that dynamically tracks their ESG maturity level, adapting to all sectors and types of companies, from SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) to large industrial groups. All companies have the opportunity to create their own ESG profile and share it with their stakeholders, enabling them to concentrate on defining and implementing their improvement plans without duplication.
Training initiatives available to all companies in the community
Collaboration, innovation, and training form the key to improving even the smallest companies’ responses to sustainable transformation processes. This is the aim of the training initiatives launched by Open-es, which are accessible to all companies within the community.
Through the series of free events titled “Open-es ESG Skills: The Community meets the experts,” companies have the opportunity to engage with industry experts on specific, highly relevant ESG topics (regulatory updates, safety, transition plans, governance and tools for sustainable growth, energy efficiency, cybersecurity and risk management, etc.).
In addition, there are other initiatives dedicated to SMEs, such as Open-es Camp, a training programme with a workshop approach that includes project work activities for the immediate application of the acquired sustainability skills. Another recent example is the “ESG Manager Identity Card” training programme, launched in collaboration with Federmanager. This course is specifically designed for ESG managers and consists of both specialised modules and experiential action learning opportunities through company visits.
