Land Management>
eni’s goal is to develop uniform rules on land acquisition, consistent with international standards and best practice, in order to ensure respect for fundamental principles such as the right to fair compensation and consideration of the petitions of those who, despite not having any formal title to the land in question, are nonetheless dependent on it for their survival.
Reports>
To this end, eni participates in a project promoted by IPIECA to develop guidelines for the Oil&Gas sector on grievance mechanisms and has launched a pilot project to develop a mechanism for collecting and managing complaints and claims from local communities in Ghana. A best practice model is also being defined for use by the whole group.
