eni for 2013 describes these aspects, while the other documents that make up the sustainability reporting system and, more generally, the corporate reporting system, deal with other relevant themes.

In particular, corporate governance and board and top management remuneration are covered in the two specific documents: Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure 2013 and the 2014 Remuneration Report.

During 2013 a materiality assessment was carried out based on an assessment of the important strategic issues for eni (identified from eni’s Strategic Plan) and those perceived as important for stakeholders.

This analysis was performed using a methodology that:

• categorizes the stakeholders and assesses them based on the criteria in standard A1000;
• defines the sustainability topics, dividing them into topics and sub-topics (there are about 300 of the latter).

The evaluation carried out on the 2013 engagement process allowed the most important sustainability topics for eni to be identified: Community Relations, Health and Safety, Local Development and Climate Change. Once finalized, this system of analysis, based on the objective assessment grids, will provide input for sustainability planning and reporting at a global and local level, allowing a better alignment between company objectives and stakeholder expectations.
