People’s health is the prerequisite and priority for all our businesses.
Eni promotes a culture of health and physical and psychosocial well-being through initiatives to safeguard and improve health, aimed at both its own workers and, where applicable, their families, as well as workers within its value chain and local communities. Our work focuses on the principles of prevention, precaution, protection and promotion, with the aim of making all medical care and health promotion instruments and services more accessible to our people. We manage health-related risks and any medical emergencies, including through the constant updating of health profile assessments for the countries where we are present, and the assessment of any potential outbreaks. We take into account stakeholder expectations and the potential impacts of industrial activities. We operate in accordance with local regulations, ensuring that the quality of the services we provide meets the highest international standards, and we have strengthened our partnerships and agreements with the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Health Committee of the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) and the global Oil & Gas industry association to promote environmental and social performance in the energy transition (IPIECA).
Head of Eni Health
At Eni, our commitment to people is reflected in programmes and services designed to promote physical and mental well-being and inclusion in every aspect of our working and private lives. Our commitment begins with prevention through initiatives such as Previeni con Eni, which offers a free biennial check-up for cancer and cardiovascular screening, and extends to the day-to-day support provided by our healthcare facilities, our network of qualified professionals, and Più Salute. This service provides Eni staff and their families in Italy and abroad with 24-hour healthcare, including telemedicine and home care services, with a particular focus on accessibility through the integration of Italian Sign Language (LIS) and voice commands for visually impaired people. A culture of health is constantly fostered through awareness campaigns and targeted screening, ranging from the prevention of endemic and sexually transmitted diseases to the management of chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. These activities also include the promotion of healthy lifestyles, the promotion of ergonomic principles, and the annual flu vaccination campaign in Italy. Alongside physical health, Eni safeguards psychological well-being and personal safety through an anonymous, free online psychological support service, available globally 24/7, and a helpline specifically dedicated to victims of harassment and gender-based violence, which provides immediate legal and psychological guidance. Particular attention is also paid to the cognitive health of workers over 50 through the Train the Brain programme, which enables consultations with expert neuropsychologists. Since 2021, the FEEM Health Committee, a scientific advisory body made up of experts in medicine, epidemiology and health economics, has been carrying out research to help Eni protect and promote the health of everyone operating across its value chain, ensuring that new models linked to the energy transition are always accompanied by the highest standards of health protection.
Health management involves the entire Eni workforce and draws on a network of internal and external professionals, including healthcare and management staff.
The health management system, as a structured set of processes and controls, ensures the regular review of the organisation’s healthcare activities through performance monitoring and audits, with a view to continuous improvement.
To protect the health of its workers, Eni assesses, identifies and monitors occupational risk factors associated with industrial processes that may affect workers’ well-being, including through scientific research.
In Italy and around the world, Eni’s business units and companies guarantee the provision of healthcare services, in line with the findings of the needs assessment and the epidemiological, operational and legislative circumstances. We define specific operational solutions for each country based on an assessment of the context, the structural conditions of the healthcare system and the business stage.
In accordance with the national context and the specific labour agreement, we offer a medical emergency response, through dedicated operational solutions relating to the response capacity of the host country's healthcare system.
Eni promotes a culture of health by implementing health promotion initiatives, programmes and healthcare welfare services for employees and their families, identified on the basis of available data on the health status of the general population.
Eni’s Global health initiatives aim to maintain, protect and/or improve the health of communities, as part of Eni’s contribution to the sustainable socio-economic development of the host country.
In particular, in the areas where Eni operates, the company employs tools and methodologies to identify potential direct and indirect impacts from the earliest stages of project planning, with a view to eliminating and/or mitigating them through health development plans and projects that ensure compliance with recognised international standards and guarantee stakeholder involvement. In addition to protecting and promoting the health of communities in the countries where Eni operates, the company implements health development and health promotion programmes that can be integrated into (business activities) attività di business or initiatives aimed at supporting local governments in achieving the country’s health priorities.
We affirm our culture as a “caring company” by paying attention to each individual's aptitudes and constantly valuing skills and diversity.
