Sustainability

The world energy landscape is facing major challenges, having to balance two fundamental needs:

  • the growth of energy consumption, deriving from the increase in the population and the global economy and from the need to guarantee universal access to energy for all;
  • the urgency of tackling climate change by acting immediately on all available levers and by accelerating the transition process towards a more sustainable mix.

The energy transition can follow different paths but the commitment of governments, supported by the identification of clear and homogeneous policies and the evolution of technology, will be key elements to make it possible.

Eni intends to play a decisive role in the path towards a socially equitable energy transition, which responds with concrete and economically sustainable solutions to the challenges of combating climate change and providing access to energy for all in an efficient and sustainable way. Eni organically combines its industrial plan with environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations.

Banque Eni shares the ESG policy and the analysis of climate and environmental risks made by Eni S.p.A.

Recognizing its unique position in the financial sector, Banque Eni builds upon Eni’s global commitment to a just and sustainable energy transition. While aligning with Eni’s broader commitments, Banque Eni has developed its own ESG Policy tailored to address the specific challenges faced by the financial sector in driving the transition to a more sustainable economy and society.


A tailored ESG strategy


While embracing Eni’s overarching sustainability objectives explored through Eni for, the annual voluntary report, which connects Eni’s mission to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Banque Eni adjusts its strategy to address specific obligations:

  • regulatory compliance: ensuring alignment with Belgian and European requirements, particularly the European Central Bank’s (ECB) guidelines on climate-related and environmental risks;
  • voluntary commitments: going beyond compliance to progressively integrate ESG criteria into its operations and promote responsible financial practices.

Risk management


Banque Eni follows the ECB’s guide on climate-related and environmental risks, embedding these risks into its business model, strategy, and risk management framework. By proactively addressing these risks, the bank ensures resilience and long-term sustainability.


Concrete initiatives


Banque Eni’s ESG strategy is reflected in:

  • “Green office” practices: making employees aware of how to incorporate behaviours aimed at saving energy and reducing waste into their working habits.
  • Diversity and inclusion: implementing policies to ensure equal opportunities, including gender balance.
  • Workplace harassment prevention: establishing clear reporting mechanisms, regular training, and awareness campaigns to maintain a respectful and safe work environment.

A living ESG strategy


Banque Eni’s ESG strategy is designed to evolve in response to emerging regulatory and societal expectations. Recognizing its responsibility to make meaningful contributions to sustainability, the bank focuses on tangible commitments and actively avoids greenwashing. By leveraging its position in the financial sector, Banque Eni aims to drive impactful and measurable change.
