Eni's Way: A New Viewing Record


Tomorrow, I will begin a month that marks a deeply symbolic milestone in my journey.

On August 1, 2026, it will be 25 years since I was dismissed from Eni's Brazilian subsidiary after reporting irregularities that I had witnessed, acting in strict compliance with the Italian oil giant's Code of Ethics.

I spent two years as an executive.

And nearly twenty-three years dedicated to promoting ethics, integrity, and the protection of whistleblowers through the Instituto Brasileiro de Ética nos Negócios (Brazilian Business Ethics Institute), founded in August 2003.

Interestingly, as this story reaches its twenty-fifth anniversary, something else has also begun to change in recent weeks.

Since the launch of the Flinto Case campaign on June 15, thousands of people have visited Eni's Way to explore the documents, the facts, and the chronology of this story.

In May, the website recorded 38,621 page views, the highest monthly total in its history at that time.

Now, in June alone, that number has surpassed 155,000 page views, setting a new all-time record.

More important than the numbers, however, is what they represent.

Every visit represents someone willing to examine the facts before forming an opinion.

That is precisely the purpose of Eni's Way.

Not to persuade.

Not to accuse.

Not to ask anyone to agree with me.

Simply to make the documentary evidence available so that every reader can examine it and reach their own conclusions.

The campaign will continue.

In the coming weeks, we will move beyond telling the story.

We will begin presenting the key documents that support it.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to explore the facts and the documents that make up this journey.

We move forward.

A whistleblower at Eni's AGM


Yesterday, we saw that the Flinto Case reached Eni's General Shareholders' Meetings on four different occasions.

But that did not happen by chance.

Someone decided to bring this story before the Company's highest governing body.

That person was Mauro Meggiolaro.

And he was no ordinary shareholder.

🔹 Founder of Merian Research, a firm specializing in economic research, ESG analysis, and intelligence services for institutional investors.

🔹 Journalist and Financial Editor at Valori.it.

🔹 Coordinator of the Shareholders for Change, which brings together institutional investors from seven European countries and represents more than €45 billion in assets under management.

🔹 ESG Analyst and Shareholder Engagement specialist at Fondazione Finanza Etica, an organization linked to Banca Etica, internationally recognized for its commitment to responsible investment and corporate governance.

In his capacity as a critical Eni shareholder, Mauro Meggiolaro reviewed the available documentation and decided to bring the Flinto Case before the Company's General Shareholders' Meetings.

Not just once.

But four times.

✔️ 2017

✔️ 2018

✔️ 2020

✔️ 2021

These questions were not raised in pursuit of a personal interest.

They were submitted by a shareholder exercising a right guaranteed under Italian corporate law, bringing the matter before the Company's highest accountability forum for its investors.

Over those years, Mauro Meggiolaro formally questioned Eni's Board of Directors about the documents submitted, the absence of an independent investigation, and other issues related to the Flinto Case.

Those questions became part of the Company's corporate governance debate.

More than seeking answers, they demonstrated that the Flinto Case had ceased to be a private matter.

It had become an issue of interest to shareholders concerned with ethics, transparency, and corporate governance.

Tomorrow, we will see how a personal story ultimately became a genuine corporate governance issue.

To be continued on Thursday.
