About

If we want to maintain and expand our living standards around the world for generations to come, we have to rethink the way we are doing business. At OMV, we have put sustainability at the heart of our strategy and are re-inventing essentials for sustainable living. To achieve net-zero by 2050, we have initiated the biggest transformation in our company's history. We will become an integrated sustainable chemicals, fuels and energy company and place a particular focus on solutions for the circular economy: From Value Chain to Value Circle. Our different business areas work together to minimize pollution and waste, reuse materials and support our environment in its regeneration. We follow our path in close cooperation with our customers, partners, political stakeholders, industry and society - and together with our 22,000 employees, who give their best day after day in innovation labs, in production and at our sites. Thanks to their dedication, OMV is what it is today – an international company and one of Austria's largest companies with global impact, unique expertise, innovative power and incredible potential. It makes me proud to be able to lead this great company into a new era as part of #TeamOMV.
