The majority of management systems for the main operating units are registered under the ISO 14001 standard and in Europe the main production units have undergone the EMAS registration process. By 2015 ISO 14001 certification is expected for all the subsidiaries that have a significant HSE risk profile. In 2013 more than 70% of such companies were already certified, in particular:

  • in the E&P sector, all the previously obtained certifications were maintained;
  • in the G&P sector, where ISO 14001 certification had already been completed in 2011 for all the production plants and where the Ferrera Erbognone, Mantua, Ravenna and Ferrara plants are covered by EMAS Registration, all the existing certifications from previous periods were confirmed and the subsidiary Adriaplin doo obtained certification;
  • in the R&M sector the task of maintaining the existing certifications continued (in particular for all the refineries) as well as the extension of certificates with coverage for reclamation activities in unused sites and the subsidiaries Eni Austria GmbH and Oléoduc du Rhône SA;
  • in the Chemicals sector, coverage has been confirmed for all the Italian and foreign plants;
  • in the Engineering & Construction sector all the certifications already obtained in recent years have been confirmed; the operational companies Saipem Contracting Netherlands BV – Sharjah Branch and PT Saipem Indonesia Karimun Branch in the Engineering & Construction sector were also certified and certification was completed at Saipem SpA with coverage also for drilling activities.

In 2013 Eni obtained 2 new ISO 50001 energy management system certifications (Oberhausen Petrochemical Plant and certification of ICT corporate headquarters) which have been added to those obtained previously (in the Refineries in Venice, Livorno, Sannazzaro and Taranto, the Szazhalombatta plant in the Chemicals sector and the Corporate offices).

Environmental spending recorded an overall light decline (down 1.2% compared to 2012), linked to the decline in investments (down 11.6%) in the E&P sector (down 15.5%, totalling approximately -€18.2 million), R&M (-16.7%, totalling approximately -€17.7 million) and other activities (-41.7%, totalling approximately -€4.5 million). In the E&P sector, the reduction in investments is primarily linked to Nigeria, due to the completion of the big flaring down project of Idu in 2012, the Akri and Ogbainbiri projects in the third quarter of 2013 (these were associated with lower investments compared to Idu) as well as completion of the project in Italy to replace the Perla-Prezioso Sealine.
