As part of the Euro Medium Term Notes program, during 2021 Eni issued a sustainability-linked bond for a nominal amount of €1 billion linked to the achievement of the following sustainability targets: (i) Net Carbon Footprint upstream (GHG emission Scope 1 and 2) equal to or lower than 7.4 million tons of CO2 equivalent by 2024; (ii) renewable energy installed capacity equal to or greater than 5 GW by 2025. If one of the targets is not achieved, a step-up mechanism will be applied, increasing the interest rate.
