Consolidated Corporate Governance Report
OMV, as a publicly listed company with its headquarters in Austria, is dedicated to the principles of sound corporate governance and has always sought to comply with best practice in corporate governance to ensure responsible management and control of the OMV Group, a high level of transparency for every stakeholder, and, ultimately, the sustainable and long-term creation of value.
Austrian law, the Articles of Association, the Internal Rules for the corporate bodies, and the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance (ACCG) provide the core legal framework for OMV’s corporate governance. OMV adheres to the ACCG issued by the Austrian Working Group for Corporate Governance. The code is publicly accessible at www.corporate-governance.at. OMV’s compliance with the ACCG was last evaluated externally by independent advisors for the 2020 financial year. The report on the evaluation is available at www.omv.com and confirms OMV’s compliance with the ACCG in relation to all compulsory “comply or explain” rules (the “C-rules”) and all recommended rules (the “R-rules”). As for C-rules 27 and 28, explanations concerning the structure of the compensation for the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of OMV is described in the Remuneration Policy. The implementation of the policy and the performance outcomes of the financial year under review are set out in the annual Remuneration Report for OMV’s Executive Board and Supervisory Board prepared starting with the 2020 financial year. The Remuneration Policy and the Remuneration Report are published on www.omv.com. The next external evaluation is scheduled to be carried out for the 2022 financial year.
