| Comprehensive | Eni provides an extensive and highly specific account of its climate-policy advocacy. It names a wide array of concrete measures it has engaged on, including public consultations on “Updating the EU ETS,” the draft “EU rules to prevent methane leakage in the energy sector,” “Sustainable aviation fuels – ReFuelEU Aviation,” the “Certification of carbon removals – EU rules,” UK Government Development Consent Orders and Carbon Storage Licence applications for the HyNet CCS project, and proposed reforms to Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency. The company also explains how it lobbies: it “responded to the public Consultation” run by the European Commission, “submitted a Development Consent Order application to the UK Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero,” and “directly engage[s] with governments and legislators and through trade associations or multi-sectoral coalitions,” naming targets such as the European Commission, EFRAG, ISSB, SEC, DESNZ and the North Sea Transition Authority. Finally, Eni is explicit about what it wants to achieve. It “supports the proposal for an EU-wide law to cut methane emissions, with the aim of achieving climate neutrality by 2050,” advocates a “uniform carbon price” and amendments to the ETS so that it “align[s] with the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation,” calls for “more ambitious 2030 targets” in the Energy Efficiency Directive, and argues that harmonised carbon-removal certification “will increase the trust of private players … and scale up investments.” By disclosing the policies, the channels of influence and the concrete outcomes it seeks, the company demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency around its climate lobbying activities. | 4 |
