No War, No Weapons

No specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles to assess ENL.XETRA against the 'No War, No Weapons' ethical value. While one article mentioned defense contracts awarded to the company, it did not provide the necessary total revenue figures to calculate the percentage of revenue derived from such contracts, which is required by the rubric.

Furthermore, there was no information regarding the nature of these contracts (e.g., controversial weapons, dual-use technology), nor any data on peacebuilding initiatives, divestment policies, or other relevant metrics.

Safe & Smart Tech

Enel has not experienced any data breaches affecting users within the past three years. A ransomware attack on its internal IT network in 2020 resulted in no customer data exposure and rapid restoration of services.

However, Enel Energia, a unit of Enel, was fined over 79 million euros by the Italian data protection authority in February 2024 for unauthorized data use, specifically for unlawful telemarketing of energy and gas services involving 9,300 contracts and the acquisition of 978 users' data from external companies. This incident also highlighted security shortcomings in customer management and service activation systems, leading to a violation of data protection rules. Enel's privacy policy outlines user rights under GDPR, such as access, amendment, and cancellation of data, and mentions principles of proportionality and necessity in data retention. The company explicitly states compliance with GDPR and the Italian Privacy Code.
