OMV was awarded the ranking of “Leadership A–” for the fourth time in a row in this category, making it one of the top 14 companies in the global oil and gas sector. In Austria, OMV is one of the five highest ranked companies among all sectors. Since 2011, OMV has been providing data to CDP for being evaluated on its transparency and performance with regard to climate change.

OMV CEO Rainer Seele: "Achieving a CDP climate score of "Leadership A–" for another year shows that our efforts to integrate sustainability into our business strategy, increase energy efficiency, and improve our carbon footprint are being recognized."
