Subject: Whistleblowing Report vs Eni's Statement on Respect for Human Rights
Dear Mr. Giovanni Tempini and Mr. Dario Scannapieco,
CDP Group and MEF are Eni's largest shareholders and therefore have responsibility for the "actions" and "omissions" of Eni's Board of Directors.
For your information, I forward a message sent to Eni's Board of Directors (read text below) the expectation that CDP Group (and MEF) may "require" Eni to carry out "due diligence" on my case, due to the guidelines in "Principle 4" (The State-Business Nexus) of the UNGP 31 that Italy is an "adherent nation".
Best Regards.

Subject: Whistleblowing Report vs Eni’s Statement on Respect for Human Rights
Dear Mr. Giuseppe Zafarana,
The duly proven “attacks” (Doc. 01 and Doc. 02) that Eni unfairly promoted against my honor and reputation both in 2010 (judicial process) and 2017 (ENI’s AGM), are condemned by the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” (Article 12).
Eni has a document on this topic. This is “Eni’s Statement on Respect for Human Rights”, where the company states that: “Eni’s vision on human rights builds on the dignity of every human being and on companies’ responsibility to contribute to the well-being of local individuals and communities”.
In this “public” statement, “Eni reaffirms its commitment to respect the human rights contained in the International Bill of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the other applicable human rights as set out in international Treaties and Standards”, also recognizing that, “Eni adheres to the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact”.
Eni further states that, by being “consistent with established principles, ENI is committed to not violating human rights and to remedying any critical actions that may result from activities in which the company is involved”.
Therefore, I reiterate my request that the Eni Board of Directors can finally do "due diligence" on my case, according to my "whistleblowing" reported on the Eni Whistleblowing Channel which received the number 2719 0442 4028 1367 (Doc. 3).
Note that it is necessary for the Eni Board to be guided by “Eni’s Management of Whistleblowing Report” available on the company’s website (Doc. 04) and also by “Whistleblowing reports received, including anonymously, by Eni SpA and by its subsidiaries in Italy and abroad” (Doc. 05).
Best Regards.
