ENI - like other polluting industries - know that public opinion is turning on them.
That's why they aim to associate themselves with the world's most-loved sporting events.

And what's worse, ENI knew about the risks of burning fossil fuels 50 years ago.
In the 1970s, the company ignored its own research centre - Isvet - which warned of the 'catastrophic' consequences of continuing fossil fuelled business as usual.

ENI now refers to itself as an 'integrated energy company' with a 'decarbonization plan'. 🤨
Yet, in the latest assessment of the company's climate plan, it was revealed that renewables made up just 1.1% of its energy mix in 2024. 🤥

This year, the Winter Olympics is sponsored by Italian oil and gas giant ENI.
Its deal with the Games is estimated to result in emissions of around 700,000 tonnes of CO2e.
That's roughly the annual emissions of 150,000 fossil fuelled cars. 🚗💨
