What does "Eni's Whistleblowing Policy" say?


 Eni also has a robust policy to regulate the entire “Whistleblowing Process”, from the receipt of the complaint, through the analysis and investigation of the facts until its conclusion, including the appropriate measures to be taken, the feedback to the top executives and the Board of Directors, as well as the filing of the denounced event.

This corporate document, which was released in 2017 and updated in 2019, is part of the “Management System Guideline” and was called “Whistleblowing reports received, including anonymously, by Eni SpA and by its subsidiaries in Italy and abroad”.

It is necessary to highlight some points of this policy that are related to my case:

“Eni will take disciplinary action against employees who intentionally fail to detect or report any violations of the Code of Ethics or make threats or impose reprisals against those who report violations”;

“Eni will also take appropriate disciplinary action against those who fail to protect the whistleblower, who impose retaliation or discrimination against the whistleblower, as well as against anyone who makes reports in bad faith”;

“In assessing the disciplinary sanction to adopt towards anyone who adopts retaliatory or discriminatory measures against the whistleblower will take into account the seriousness of the retaliatory or discriminatory measures, of any damage to health suffered by the whistleblower as a result of these measures, as well as the circumstance that these measures were adopted in a repeated manner or with the participation of two or more people”.


SO, WHY DOES ENI, IN MY CASE, DOES NOT “HONOR” ITS OWN COMMITMENTS?
