Career Header

Change takes people. We’re on a journey of transformation, with ambitious goals and a clear strategy – but our real strength is in the people bringing it to life. From today, that includes you. Your perspective, your ideas, and your actions are all part of what comes next. Welcome to OMV.

Dear new colleague,

Welcome to OMV. We're delighted you've joined us on this exciting energy journey.

You’re joining a company with a strong legacy and a clear direction. For more than 60 years, we’ve provided essential resources for society, and today, we’re in the midst of the most significant transformation in our history.

We’re becoming an integrated, sustainable chemicals, fuels, and energy business. That means reshaping our portfolio, reducing our emissions, and scaling up solutions that enable a more sustainable future.

This guide is here to give you a sense of what we do, how we work, and where we’re heading. You’ll find the essentials here to get you started – and we’ll point you to other resources where you can learn more along the way.

Our business areas

We organize our activities across three business areas:

Chemicals

Our chemicals and materials are used as feedstock for the plastics and chemicals industries. These products are essential and irreplaceable at present, but we’re committed to minimizing their environmental impact. To do this, we’re shifting to a circular business model.

Fuels & Feedstock

We produce and supply essential resources for both industries and end consumers. This includes fuels for road, air, and marine transport, and raw materials for the manufacture of products and use in everyday life. To meet these needs with a lower environmental impact, we are shifting our portfolio towards more sustainable products.

Energy

We explore, develop, and produce crude oil and natural gas in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the North Sea. With the recent establishment of our low carbon business, we’re working to help meet the world's energy needs in more sustainable ways.

Our Purpose & Values

We're driven by a shared purpose: re-inventing essentials for sustainable living. It’s the foundation of our transformation and shapes the decisions we make every day.

We put this into practice through three core values:

+We care

+We progress

These values are reflected in how we work together, make decisions, and generate new ideas.

Our Strategy 2030

Our Strategy 2030 sets a clear direction: to become an integrated, sustainable chemicals, fuels, and energy company.

To achieve this, we’ve committed to:

  • Reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030
  • Reducing our Scope 3 emissions by 20% over the same period (baseline: 2019)
  • Reaching net-zero by 2050

We’re already making strong progress across all three business areas.

Our Strategy

With our Strategy 2030 we strive to become an integrated sustainable chemicals, fuels and energy company  rooted in our firm commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Capital Markets Day 2024

As part of the OMV Capital Market Day 2024 on June 13, 2024, we have presented an update on our 2030 strategy and transformation journey. OMV is transitioning to become an integrated sustainable chemicals, fuels and energy company with a focus on circular economy solutions. 

Innovation

Changing course takes curiosity and courage. We combine both to unlock the innovation needed to power our transformation.

We’re going beyond improving existing systems. We’re developing new technologies, exploring different ways of working, and building partnerships that help us go further, faster.

We’ve made clear commitments to support this. By 2030:

  • 100% of our innovation efforts will focus on sustainability
  • 40–50% of our annual investment budget will go to new sustainability projects

These targets reflect the scale of our transformation – and the role innovation plays in making it happen.

Our brand

Our transformation isn’t just about what we do – it’s also about how we communicate. That’s why we’ve refreshed our brand identity to reflect who we are today, and where we’re heading.

Our visual identity is built around two core ideas: progress and circularity. Our logo is shaped by these ideas, and it also informs the full design system we use – from colors and typeface to photography and illustration.

And it’s not just how we look – it’s how we sound. Our tone of voice is forward-thinking, clear, and engaging, helping us make complex topics accessible and meaningful.

You can explore more about our brand and how we communicate in our Brand Portal.

Our sustainability approach

We believe long-term value and sustainability go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve placed environmental, economic, and social responsibility at the heart of our business strategy.

Our structured approach is focused around five strategic areas:

  • Net-Zero Transformation
  • Natural Resources Management
  • Health & Safety
  • People & Their Human Rights
  • Ethical Business Practices

In each of our focus areas, we’ve set specific targets and defined concrete actions to drive responsible growth and support a more sustainable future.

Health, Safety, Security, & Environment

Health, safety, security, and environmental (HSSE) protection are central to how we work at OMV. They’re part of our daily responsibilities – whether we’re on site, with a supplier, or behind a desk.

Our vision is simple: ‘Committed to Zero Harm – Protect People, Environment, and Assets’. We support this vision through a strong safety culture, prioritizing physical and mental health, and a proactive approach to risk management.

As we transform our business, we’re making sure that HSSE protection remains firmly at the core of everything we do.

Ethics & Integrity

We believe how we work is just as important as what we do.

Our Ethics & Integrity Policy outlines the principles that guide us:
