Italian regulator fined Eni €5 million for misleading Eni Diesel+ environmental advertising

Company: Eni S.p.A.

Summary

On 15 January 2020, AGCM announced a €5 million fine against Eni S.p.A. for misleading advertising of Eni Diesel+. The authority found that environmental and emissions claims attributed characteristics of an HVO component to the fuel as a whole and that several claimed reductions were unsupported or insufficiently contextualized. This record describes the regulator's finding; it does not claim that use or sale of diesel fuel was itself unlawful. Primary source: https://www.agcm.it/media/comunicati-stampa/2020/1/PS11400
