Access to basic services

Emergency Aid for the Austrian Red Cross

In recent years, emergency services in Austria faced significant challenges, with the Austrian Red Cross playing an important role in emergency response and the provision of support services across the country. To help support its mobility, we donated fuel cards to the Austrian Red Cross. 

Die Tafel Österreich

Die Tafel Österreich is an Austrian social and environmental association that works to provide food support for people in need and reduce food waste. 

We partner with Die Tafel Österreich to support the redistribution of surplus food to people affected by poverty. Our collaboration includes volunteering opportunities for OMV employees, who help prepare meals for children in need and support food deliveries. Deliveries are made using OMV-branded compressed natural gas trucks. 

Ōpunake Community Pools

The Ōpunake Community Pools in Taranaki, New Zealand, are a venue for swimming lessons, exercise classes, school outings, and community events. Our support helps cover operational costs, allowing the pools to remain open for longer periods each year and continue offering swim safety services, including free lessons for children in need. 

Otupaiia Marine Park Development

Otupaiia Marine Park in Waitara, New Zealand, is a coastal area used by the local community for fishing, recreation, and access to the coast and river. New Plymouth District Council and Te Kōwhatu Tū Moana Trust, in collaboration with Waitara residents and local Māori subtribes, are leading a project to renew the park. As the park is located near the Pohokura gas field, we contributed to the community project by funding the construction of a bike pump track for local users and visitors. 

Waimanako Support Hub

The Waimanako Support Hub in Taranaki, New Zealand, provides community offerings such as support for whānau (families), a creative hub, support groups, workshops, life coaching, and outreach support. We supported the expansion of the Hub by funding the lease and renovation of additional premises, helping it increase its capacity to serve people in the Taranaki community. 

Bellyful Frozen Meals

Bellyful is a New Zealand organization that cooks and delivers meals to families with babies or young children who need support. Its community-based approach provides practical help to families who may not have access to similar support networks. 

With 25 branches across New Zealand, Bellyful brings together families, volunteers, local businesses, and supporters to create a strong sense of community.  

On The House

On the House is a New Zealand charitable trust that rescues surplus food and redistributes it to people in need across the Taranaki community. By redistributing surplus food, the organization supports food access and help reduce food waste. 

Flourish Taranaki

Flourish Taranaki is a charitable community collaboration that helps Taranaki whānau (families) access parenting-related resources and support. Our partnership with Flourish Taranaki helps fund a part-time administration assistant, supporting the day-to-day operation of its activities and helping the organization make its services available to more families across the community. 

CAPE 10 - House of good hope

The House is a hub for community connection and social development. Opened in 2020 in Vienna, it is a space where different social groups can come together to learn from and support one another. CAPE 10 is connected to the charitable CAPE 10 Foundation, alongside the Max & Lara project and the emergency aid project Initiative for sick and poor children.  

CAPE 10 focuses on health and poverty-related social issues. As one of CAPE 10’s partners, we supported the construction and equipment of a low-threshold medical and social clinic for uninsured women and children. 

In 2024, around 400 pupils from Vienna neighborhood secondary schools participated in the first large-scale Innovation Summit and explored aspects of the topic “Our future.” The Innovation Summit focuses on youth, education, and social integration. 

Improving Social Services in Libya

Since 2017, we have worked with other oil companies to support the improvement of social services for local communities in Libya. Our activities focus on two regions: Sirte and Murzuq. In the Sirte region, we collaborate with the National Oil Corporation (NOC). In the Murzuq region, our work is carried out in partnership with NOC, Repsol, Equinor, and Total, and aims to help local municipalities improve access to services such as health, education, water, and sanitation. 

Together from Day One & First Step to Health

Through the OMV Petrom Foundation, we support early health initiatives in Romania. Through the “Together from Day One” program, the foundation invested EUR 1 million to equip 45 maternity wards and neonatal units across 28 counties. The initiative has supported neonatal care for more than 20,000 newborns. 

The foundation also launched the “First Step to Health” project, which equipped 39 family practitioners’ offices to provide prenatal care services to 7,000 pregnant women. In addition, the foundation invested EUR 1.58 million in the Baby Box program, which provides support and health information to 2,713 mothers and newborns in vulnerable situations.
