The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting. In order to allow the presence of Directors designated by minority shareholders, the appointment of Directors takes place through the slate voting system. The current Board of Directors, appointed in May 2023 until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2025 financial statement, is composed of 9 members. Three Directors were appointed by shareholders other than the controlling one, thus guaranteeing minorities a higher number of representatives than required by law.
ENI'S GOVERNANCE MODEL
Eni's Corporate Governance is based on the traditional Italian model, which – without prejudice to the tasks of the Shareholders' Meeting – assigns responsibility for management to the Board of Directors, supervisory functions to the Board of Statutory Auditors (BoSA) and those of statutory audit to the Independent Auditors. The Board has entrusted the management of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who was last appointed on May 11, 2023, reserving the most significant strategic, operational and organisational responsibilities, in particular in the areas of governance, sustainability, internal control and risk management.
The Board of Directors has set up four internal committees, with preparatory, consultative and advisory functions: the Control and Risk Committee, the Remuneration Committee, the Nomination Committee and the Sustainability and Scenarios Committee, which report, through their respective Chairmen, at each meeting of the Board on the main issues examined.
The Board also confirmed the attribution to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of a significant role in internal controls, in particular with reference to the Internal Audit function, of which it proposes to the Board of Directors, in agreement with the CEO, appointment, dismissal, remuneration and resources, directly managing the relationship on behalf of the Board; the Chairman of the Board of Directors is also involved in the appointment processes of the other main Eni persons in charge of internal controls and risk management, such as the Officer in Charge of preparing the Company's financial reports, the members of the Supervisory Body, the Head of Integrated Risk Management and the Head of Integrated Compliance.
Composition and Diversity
The composition of the Board is also diversified in gender terms, in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and the By-laws, which were amended in February 2020 in view of the renewal of the corporate bodies. In particular, for 6 consecutive terms, the administrative and supervisory bodies must be composed of at least 2/5 of the less represented gender. The number of independent Directors present on the Board (7 out of the 9 Directors in office, of which 8 are non-executive and including the Chairman of the Board of Directors) is confirmed to be higher than the provisions of the By-laws and the Governance Code.
| Composition Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Directors | 9 |
| Independent Directors | 7 (78%) |
| Female Directors | 4 (44%) |
| Male Directors | 5 (56%) |
| Directors from Minority Slate | 3 (33%) |
| Directors from Majority Slate | 6 (67%) |

Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting
Integrated Risk Management Model
Eni has developed and adopted an Integrated Risk Management Model (IRM Model) supporting Eni's management awareness in taking risk-informed decisions through risk assessment and analysis with an integrated, comprehensive and prospective vision.
The IRM Model is based on a system of methodologies and skills that leverages on criteria ensuring consistency of the evaluations to improve the effectiveness of the analyses, adequacy of support for the main decision-making processes (definition of the Strategic Plan) and to guarantee the disclosure to the administration and control bodies.
Three-Level Control System
The IRM Model is characterized by a structured approach, based on international best practices and considering the guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, that is structured on three control levels:
| Control Level | Responsibility | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Level | Line Management/Risk Owner (Business & Support Process) | Identification and management of relevant risks of competence and related controls |
| 2nd Level | Specialist Functions (Integrated Risk Management, Integrated Compliance, Corporate Affairs and Governance, HSE, etc.) | Monitoring of main risk categories and adequacy of controls |
| 3rd Level | Internal Audit Function | Assurance and independent advisory on the 1st and 2nd levels and internal control system as a whole |
Risk Assessment Process
The IRM process ensures the detection, consolidation and analysis of all Eni's risks and supports the BoD to verify the compatibility of the risk profile with the strategic targets, also in a medium/long-term approach.
In 2024, two assessment sessions were performed: the Annual Risk Assessment performed in the first half of the year and in the second half of the year the 4Y Plan Risk Assessment, to support the elaboration process of the 4Y Strategic Plan. The assessment involved all business lines in Italy and abroad (over 40 Countries). The two assessment results were submitted to Eni's management and control bodies in July 2024 and December 2024.
Three monitoring processes were performed on Eni's top risks. The monitoring of such risks and the relevant treatment plans allows to analyze the risks evolution and the progress in the implementation of specific treatment measures planned by management. The top risks monitoring results were submitted to the management and control bodies in March, July and October 2024.
Top Risks Portfolio
Eni's top risks portfolio consists of 20 risks classified in: (i) external risks, (ii) strategic risks and, finally, (iii) operational risks.

Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities
Integrated Risk Management Process
Eni has developed and adopted an Integrated Risk Management Model (IRM Model) supporting Eni's management awareness in taking risk-informed decisions through risk assessment and analysis with an integrated, comprehensive and prospective vision.
The IRM Model is based on a system of methodologies and skills that leverages on criteria ensuring consistency of the evaluations to improve the effectiveness of the analyses, adequacy of support for the main decision-making processes (definition of the Strategic Plan) and to guarantee the disclosure to the administration and control bodies.
IRM Sub-processes
The process, regulated by the Global Procedure "Integrated Risk Management" is continuous, dynamic and includes the following sub-processes:
i) Risk strategy; ii) Integrated Risk Assessment; iii) Integrated Country Risk; iv) Integrated Project & M&A Risk Management.
Assessment Methodology
The risks are assessed with quantitative and qualitative tools considering both the likelihood of occurrence and the impacts that may results from the occurrence of the risk in a defined time horizon.
The assessment usually is expressed as both an inherent and a residual level (taking into account the effectiveness of the mitigation actions) and allows to measure the impact with respect to the achievement of the objectives of the Strategic Plan and for the whole life as regards the business.
The risks are represented on the basis of the likelihood of occurrence and the impact on matrices that allow their comparison and classification by relevance. Risks with economic/financial impact can be also analyzed in an integrated perspective on the basis of quantitative models that allow to define on a statistical basis the distribution of cash flows at risk or to simulate the aggregate impact of risks in the face of hypothetical future scenarios (what if analysis or stress test).
2024 Assessment Activities
In 2024, two assessment sessions were performed:
- Annual Risk Assessment performed in the first half of the year
- 4Y Plan Risk Assessment in the second half of the year, to support the elaboration process of the 4Y Strategic Plan
The assessment involved all business lines in Italy and abroad (over 40 Countries). The two assessment results were submitted to Eni's management and control bodies in July 2024 and December 2024.
Monitoring Process
Three monitoring processes were performed on Eni's top risks. The monitoring of such risks and the relevant treatment plans allows to analyze the risks evolution (through the update of appropriate indicators) and the progress in the implementation of specific treatment measures planned by management. The top risks monitoring results were submitted to the management and control bodies in March, July and October 2024.
Materiality Analysis Integration
The operation of the business model is based on the best possible use of all resources available to the organization through the implementation of the strategy. This includes:
- Materiality analysis that explores the most significant impacts generated by Eni on the economy, environment and people, including those on human rights
- Integrated Risk Management process, which is functional to ensure, through the assessment and analysis of the risks and opportunities of the reference context, informed and strategic decisions
Country and Project Risk Assessment
Integrated Country Risk (ICR): Activities regarding the integrated analysis of existing risks in the main Countries of presence or potential interest
Integrated Project & M&A Risk Management: Activities to support the decision-making process for the authorization of investment projects and main transactions
Governance Integration
Governance attributes a central role to the Board of Directors (BoD) which defines, on the basis of the analyses proposed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and with the support of the Control and Risk Committee (CCR), with reference to the four-year Strategic Plan, the nature and level of risk compatible with the company's strategic objectives, including in its assessments all the elements that may be relevant with a view to the sustainable success of the company.

Waste Management Overview
Eni Rewind manages waste treatment for the purpose of remediation activities at Eni sites and owned by Eni Rewind. The company managed a total of about 1.9 million tons of waste in 2024, an increase compared to 2023, sending it for recovery or disposal at external plants. This increase is due to the increase in liquid waste, managed for disposal at external plants, produced in the Refining Evolution and Transformation (REVT) area for the emergency safety measures (MISE) activities of the Sannazzaro site and the land produced in the REVT area in Livorno, for the preparatory activities for the construction of the Biorefinery.
Waste Recovery Performance
The recovery index (ratio of recovered/recoverable waste) was 76.3%, up from 2023 (75%), due to the analytical and granulometric characteristics found in the waste managed during characterization, which made it possible to maximize the start of waste recovery.
Hazardous waste amounts to 27% of the total.
Compared to the total volumes managed by Eni Rewind in 2024, the part relating to Eni customers currently makes up about 80% of the total.
Corporate Level Performance
Total waste managed: ~1.9 million tons
Recovery vs. total recoverable waste: ~77%

S1-6(was S1-7)Characteristics of non-employee workersReported
Characteristics of non-employees in the undertaking's own workforce
Eni reports non-employee workers in its own workforce as part of its total workforce metrics. The disclosure focuses primarily on contractors working at Eni's operational sites.
Number of non-employee workers
As of December 31, 2024:
| Category | Number |
|---|---|
| Atypical temporary employees (agency workers, contractors, etc.) | 1,433 |
| Women | 526 |
| Men | 907 |
As of December 31, 2023:
| Category | Number |
|---|---|
| Atypical temporary employees (agency workers, contractors, etc.) | 2,793 |
| Women | 684 |
| Men | 2,109 |
Methodology
The metrics are reported on a headcount basis as of December 31 for each respective year. The category "atypical temporary employees" includes agency workers, contractors, and similar arrangements.
The scope of consolidation and methodologies for calculating indicators are detailed in the Reporting principles and criteria section of Eni's Sustainability Statement.
Multi-year comparison
The number of non-employee workers decreased significantly from 2,793 in 2023 to 1,433 in 2024, representing a decrease of approximately 49%. This reduction was observed across both genders, with male non-employees decreasing from 2,109 to 907 and female non-employees decreasing from 684 to 526.
Additional context
Eni's disclosure notes that the company monitored "over 3,000 suppliers in Italy and abroad" through its Safety Competence Center (SCC) in 2024, which provides HSE operational support and specialized training to contractors. However, this supplier count appears to represent a broader category than the non-employee workers in own workforce reported above.
The company reports safety metrics (TRIR) separately for employees and contractors across its operated assets, but these contractor safety metrics cover 100% of operated assets rather than being limited to non-employees in own workforce.

Collective bargaining coverage and social dialogue
Coverage of collective bargaining agreements
| Metric | 2024 | 2023 |

| Italy | 100 | 100 |
| Abroad | 40.10 | 56.28 |
| Employees in trade unions (%) | 36.74 | 36.65 |
Scope: Within the European Economic Area, only Italy is considered as it is identified as the only Country in which Eni operates that has at least 50 employees and represents at least 10% of the total number of workers.
Social dialogue bodies and arrangements
European Works Council (EWC): Eni established its European Works Council in 1995, which focuses on issues relating to business plans/investments/acquisitions or disposals, employment prospects, health and safety at work, environmental policies and sustainability. It includes representatives of Italian and European Eni's workers, representatives of Italian trade unions, and a representative of the European trade union: the IndustriAll European Trade Union.
European Observatory for the Health, Safety and Environment of Workers: A European tool where data, analysis and management tools are shared on topics including injuries, accidents and occupational diseases, regulatory evolution, environmental and health aspects, monitoring of climate issues and energy efficiency.
Meeting frequency:
- At least one annual meeting of the European Works Council
- At least one annual meeting of the European Observatory for the Health, Safety and Environment of Workers
- At least three annual meetings of the EWC Select Committee with the competent management
Global Framework Agreement: Main employment data and related trends are shared with workers' representatives at the European Works Council and the Global Framework Agreement, to present and comment on their developments.
National industrial relations (Italy)
Consultation mechanisms:
- National Observatory on Health, Safety and Environment
- Periodic meetings with national trade union representatives on various topics including reconversion of production sites and significant organizational reviews (every six months or when necessary)
- Bilateral Commission on Agile Work: verifies the application of the agreement on Agile Work, analyses its impacts on the organization of work, manages local critical issues and periodically reports results to signatory parties
Methodology note
Both in Italy and abroad, employees covered by collective bargaining are those employees whose employment relationship is governed by collective contracts or agreements, whether national, category, company or site, with the exclusion of individual agreements. For this indicator, tenured employees (companies with which the employee enters into the employment contract) are considered.
In Countries where employees are not covered by collective bargaining, Eni ensures in any case full compliance with international and local legislation applicable to the employment relationship as well as some higher standards of protection guaranteed by Eni throughout the group through the application of its company policies worldwide.

S1-9(was S1-10)Adequate wagesReported
Adequate wages
Benchmark Used
Eni does not use a living wage benchmark. The company explicitly states:
"The references that Eni uses for the comparison are the minimums established by law or by contract in each Country and the market minimums of medium-large local companies, which are well above the poverty thresholds established by Eurostat for the European Union and by the Wage Indicator for other Countries."
While Eni references that its wages are "well above the poverty thresholds established by Eurostat for the European Union and by the Wage Indicator for other Countries," this is used as a contextual comparison rather than as the primary benchmark for wage adequacy assessment.
Primary Benchmarks
- Legal minimum wages in each country
- Collective bargaining agreements (national contracts)
- Market minimums of medium-large local companies
The company notes that these benchmarks exceed poverty thresholds, but does not implement a systematic living wage assessment methodology.
Coverage and Scope
No specific coverage percentage or geographic scope is disclosed for wage adequacy assessments.
Gender Pay Gap
The document reports:
- Global Gender Pay Gap: +6.8% (2024)
- The increase compared to 2023 is attributed to acquisitions/divestments of foreign companies
- The indicator may be influenced by objective non-discriminatory factors: professional category, role, seniority, working hours, shifts and allowances, individual performance, and distribution of female population across countries and categories
CEO Pay Ratio
- Total remuneration ratio (CEO/median employee): 157 (2024, down from 2023)
- Fixed remuneration ratio: 34 (2024)
Minimum Wage Definition
The reporting methodology states:
"Minimum wages are defined by law in the various Countries or, where not provided, by national collective agreements separately for each Country. They are calculated for the lowest salary category, i.e. with reference to the fixed and total remuneration of blue-collar level employees or, for Countries where Eni does not have blue-collars, white-collar employees."
Targets and Commitments
No specific targets or forward-looking commitments related to adequate wages or living wage implementation are disclosed.
Methodology Details
Eni conducts further analyses when objective factors (professional category, role, seniority, working hours, performance, geographic distribution) are equal "in order to highlight any unjustified gaps and take adopting any corrective actions."

S1-15(was S1-16)Compensation metrics (pay gap and total compensation)Reported
Compensation metrics
Pay gap
The Gender Pay Gap is calculated as the difference between the average hourly wage of the male population and the average hourly wage of the female population divided by the average hourly wage of the male population. The gender pay gap is calculated on fixed remuneration and overall remuneration, which from 2024 includes benefits in kind and allowances.
Gender Pay Gap: 6.8% (2024) and 3.4% (2023)
The increase compared to 2023 depends on the acquisition/divestment of foreign companies and may be influenced by objective non-discriminatory factors not considered by the indicator, such as: level of professional category and role held, seniority in the role, working hours and conditions (e.g. shifts and related allowances), individual performance, as well as the number and distribution of the female population in the different Countries and professional categories compared to the male population. Therefore, Eni carries out further analyses, all the objective factors mentioned above being equal, in order to highlight any unjustified gaps and take appropriate corrective actions. In particular, in 2024 the analysis of the same level of role/seniority showed an average global pay gap of 2.1%.
Remuneration ratio
The Total Remuneration Ratio is calculated as the ratio of the highest paid employee in the organization and the median of other employees, globally, on fixed remuneration and overall remuneration which from 2024 includes benefits in kind and allowance.
Total remuneration ratio: 157 (2024) and 180 (2023)
Fixed remuneration ratio: 34 (2024)
The indicator in 2024 is down compared to 2023 and is equal to 157 for total remuneration and 34 for fixed remuneration.
Methodology
In order to guarantee decent wages, Eni applies, in each Country in which it operates, reference wage policies that are well above the legal/contractual minimums, as well as the 1st decile of the local wage market, and annually verifies the salary positioning of its people, adopting any corrective actions.
More details on total remuneration ratio, pay gap and minimum wage indicators and Eni remuneration policies are reported in the Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and remuneration paid 2024.

In all Countries where it operates, Eni recognizes as a minimum treatment (in the absence of more favorable applicable legislation):
- 10 working days paid at 100% to both parents
- A minimum of 14 weeks of leave for the primary carer as per the ILO agreement
- Payment of an indemnity equal to at least 2/3 of the salary received in the previous period
Eni adopted the Corporate Governance Code for companies in favour of maternity, and in 2024 established an Inter-Functional Working Table aimed at introducing new measures for parenting, their effective communication to Eni's people and formalising a Gender Equality Management System.
Smart working provisions
Eni's Smart Working model (agreement signed in October 2021) provides:
- Italy: 8 days/month for office locations and 4 days/month for operational sites
- Numerous welfare options to support parenthood, disability, health of employees or their cohabiting family members
- Progressively adopted in other Countries, in line with local regulations
Methodology
The rate of use of parental leave is calculated through the ratio between the number of people who used it during the year and the number of employees who are entitled to use parental leave (100% of Eni employees).

(d) The alleged episodes of discrimination have not shown any valid grounds.
(e) Both assertions relating to this whistleblowing file have not shown any valid grounds.
Severe Human Rights Impacts
During 2024, the investigation of 63 files was completed, of which 32 referred to human rights, mainly relating to potential impacts on workers' rights and occupational health and safety. In particular, 64 assertions were verified, for 10 of which the reported facts were confirmed, at least in part, and corrective actions were taken to mitigate and/or minimise their impacts, including: (i) actions on the Internal Control and Risk Management System, relating to the implementation and strengthening of existing controls; (ii) awareness-raising actions on the issues of the Code of Ethics and the Policy ECG Zero Tolerance against violence and harassment in the workplace; and (iii) actions against employees, including disciplinary measures, according to the collective agreement and other applicable national laws.
Following ascertained cases of violence and harassment of a physical, psychological or verbal nature (detected through a whistleblowing channel), Eni intervened, with dismissal and suspension from work, both against the perpetrators of the harassment and against other employees whose behavior had contributed to compromising the work environment.
Disputes and Fines
In 2024, Eni did not receive any convictions that have become final for violations of laws, regulations or other human rights law, regulations or other legal institutions.
Value Chain Workers
More than 1,000 human rights audits were carried out in 2024, both on documents and on contractors and subcontractor's sites, more than double the number of audits performed in 2023. Suppliers that have shown deficiencies have been limited from participating in Eni tenders and a corrective action plan has been agreed with them to ensure respect for human rights. In particular, during an audit on a supplier, a case of discrimination at work was found in the pre-employment phase, resulting in the supplier's limited ability to participate in procurement procedures, while sharing a remediation plan whose implementation will be verified by Eni through on-site audits.
Following the ascertainment of certain impacts on the working conditions of workers in the value chain (overload in working hours) through the whistleblowing channel, Eni took procedural and contractual actions to avoid the relapse of non-compliant events.
Grievance Mechanism
Eni has defined and applies guiding principles for "Grievance Mechanisms" management whose responsibility, at the operational level, is placed on all the subsidiaries and the districts who analyse and agree on the solution with the claimants (individuals or communities). Any request or complaint received is managed and monitored until closure through agreements with the parties involved, providing a response even if they are not related to Eni's activities. All grievances received are analyzed and managed by subsidiaries and are tracked in the Stakeholder Management System application, and are classified by topic and relevance, verifying the percentage of those resolved.
Methodology Note
Severe human rights incidents were calculated on the basis of cases identified in 2024 through grievance mechanisms and whistleblowing reports. With regard to cases concerning Eni's workforce and workers in the value chain, reliable cases of forced labour, human trafficking, child labour and health and safety were considered. No grievances or relevant and reliable reports were received in the context of local communities or end consumers.
Files of reports (assertions) relating to respect for human rights: relating to Eni SpA and its subsidiaries, closed during the year and relating to human rights; the number of allegations broken down by outcome of the investigation conducted on the reported facts (well-founded and unfounded/unascertainable/not applicable) is reported. Anonymous reports, by their nature, have not been taken into account for the purposes of calculating reports relating to employees.
