Stakeholders

We believe in engaging proactively with our many stakeholders and are committed to building relationships based on dialogue, fairness and transparency. This allows us to improve decision-making processes for the development and upgrading objectives of the sites where we operate. We believe in the effectiveness of a participatory approach that involves our stakeholders at the early stages in a project, and in sharing technology and expertise. Remediation and redevelopment of disused areas and the recovery of resources are opportunities both from an environmental perspective and for the redevelopment of territories. Our ability to build a system and create value over time stems from this synergistic and constructive attitude.

Our mission and operating model are inspired by the principles of sustainability and circularity which guide us in every aspect of our work. This is in the context of a regulatory system that meets the highest standards and international guidelines. We have adopted a methodological approach to stakeholder relations, based on local engagement and relationships, with the aim of carrying out remediation projects, recovery of resources and productive redevelopment with certain timescales, methods and costs.

Constant dialogue with stakeholders in all project phases allows us to identify possible critical issues, taking into account the different needs of the parties. This commitment has led us to consolidate a successful practice of technical consultations, through dedicated meetings, to gain in-depth knowledge of environmental and revaluation measures prior to meetings foreseen by project approval processes. This method has contributed to an increase in the number of approved projects and the granting of local authorisations, without which it is not possible to start operations.

The 2020 Sustainability Report describes our objectives for proactively contributing to a fairer, more sustainable and circular economy and to the energy transition, in line with Eni's strategy. The crisis caused by the Covid-19 health emergency has further raised awareness of the role we can play in protecting the environment and use natural resources in a more forward-looking way. We enact this commitment using our model of operational excellence, which aims to create long-term value in local territories and new opportunities for economic development.
