Targets & Commitments
We are committed to building a sustainable world worth living in – for everyone. Sustainability and circularity lie at the center of our Group strategy. We aim to become a net-zero-business by 2050, accelerate the energy transition, and proactively expedite the transition from a linear to a circular economy. We build positive relationships with our employees, communities, suppliers, and other stakeholders, including by addressing social and economic effects of the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy. Our Sustainability Framework is built around the three pillars Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).
Our Strategy 2030 is underpinned by this sustainability framework, with all business decisions being informed by our ambition to become a net-zero business. Within this sustainability framework, we have established five strategic focus areas: Climate Change; Natural Resources Management; Health, Safety & Security; People; and Ethical Business Practices. For each of these focus areas, we have formulated concrete commitments, targets, and actions to be achieved by 2030, which mark OMV’s contribution to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
