Yesterday we shared our “Capital Markets Update” at the San Donato Milanese Research Center, one of our seven research hubs where we develop cutting-edge technologies and transform our business practices. Right here, in this place synonymous with evolution and change, we unveiled updates to our strategy, outlining the actions we’re taking in the coming years to tackle the challenges of the Energy Trilemma and ensure energy security and accessibility. Our strategy can be summarized in three words: 1. Distinctiveness: Our strategy is distinctive and adaptive, embracing the energy transition through a gradual, secure, and sustainable path. Our offerings are grounded in values and business models that reflect our expertise and commitment. 2. Sustainability: We tailor our actions to the specific needs of the countries and sectors where we operate. Our aim is to create positive impact for local communities. We transform a significant portion of the energy produced in these countries into opportunities for employment, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and education infrastructures. 3. Value: We create value through an organizational and financial model that accelerates the development of innovative competencies and activities. This enhances flexibility and shareholder value while mirroring our advancements and resilience. Our energy transition journey hinges on its ability to generate tangible and sustainable profits while fostering innovation and growth, positioning Eni as a company capable of swiftly and effectively responding to evolving scenarios. Our focus is crystal clear: to deliver a better future for all citizens in the countries where we operate while ensuring balanced and sustainable returns for our investors.

Last week, NorthPeak Advisory's CEO, Petra Dismorr, spoke at European Life Settlement Association's annual Secondary Life Markets Conference in Stockholm. Alongside Caroline Hultman of EY, Petra explored the intersection of ESG and Life Settlements, delving into the market's biggest challenges and the road ahead. Here are a few key takeaways from their discussion: ● Materiality Matters: The “E” of ESG has been a major focus to date, particularly climate-related topics like GHG emissions; however, for an investment strategy like life settlements, social and governance factors are of critical importance. Prioritise what truly matters to your business and your investment strategy. ● Transparency: The ESG landscape is complex and fragmented, with different ratings and standards often causing confusion. Instead of getting caught up in this, focus on being transparent about your approach to ESG. ● Consistency: With political shifts and election cycles, ESG expectations may vary, but the importance of ESG factors in investment strategies has only grown over the last decade. The focus should remain on genuine, responsible actions—living your ESG values, not just talking about them. Life Settlements is a unique investment strategy, but the concerns Petra highlighted apply broadly across sectors. Her parting advice: "ESG is just an acronym—focus on building smart, responsible business practices that incorporate all material risks and opportunities." #ESG #Sustainability #ResponsibleInvesting #NorthPeakAdvisory #LifeSettlements #InvestmentStrategy #ESGInsights #Events

Exciting news! We’re now less than two weeks away from the launch of the The Investor Forum CIC Best Practice Dialogue series report. The Best Practice Dialogues series, is a targeted effort by the Investor Forum to enhance the connectivity between investors and issuers. Through this initiative, we’ve analysed the conversations between investors and their corporate counterparts assess the overall health of these relationships, the quality of dialogue, and the effectiveness of information exchange. We believe addressing concerns and achieving clarity, will enable companies and investors to reduce friction. This will enable boards and CEOs to focus on long-term value creation in their interactions with shareholders. Our focus dialogues focused on information, assurance, impact and accountability in collaboration with the The Investor Relations Society, @accif, Accounting for Sustainability (A4S), and company secretaries from the GC100. Together with my colleagues from Tim Shanagher, Fiona Ellard, Victoria Sant and Guy Walker we interviewed over 60 investors and representatives from 28 FTSE350 companies and 55 Member organisations. Through four roundtable discussions, we engaged experienced corporate representatives and their investor counterparts, spanning analysts, portfolio managers, ESG specialists, and stewardship experts. Our aim: uncovering best practices, highlighting areas needing attention, and proposing practical actions to facilitate more effective communication. The full report launches on March 7th, followed by events with individual stakeholder groups.
