Projects

ENEL partnership

We are collaborating with Enel, an Italian group in the energy sector, with a presence in over 40 countries on five continents, vertically integrated along the entire value chain to support the advancement of human rights in the company’s operations.

During 2021, the Danish Institute for Human Rights (the Institute) is working with Enel S.p.A. Under this partnership, the Institute supports Enel in further developing a mainstreamed approach to managing human rights throughout the company’s operations.

Specifically, the Institute supports Enel to improve and update its human rights policy and better articulate its responsibilities vis-à-vis human rights within the policy. The Institute also works with Enel in the process of engaging with internal and external stakeholders to design a meaningful and effective approach to managing human rights risks and impacts.
 
Following the policy update, the Institute will liaise with Enel to ensure that policy recommendations are meaningfully implemented. After the partnership elapses, the parties will explore continuing to engage in a multi-stakeholder capacity as part of the Institute’s work on the green transition.
