SBM-3 Material Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities and Their Interaction With the Strategy and Business Model

The materiality assessment carried out by OMV was based on the ESRS-compliant double materiality principle, which considers both impact and financial materiality. The identified material topics for OMV are allocated to the five defined focus topics of OMV’s Sustainability Framework. The following topics and sub-topics were identified as material for OMV:

Material topics of OMV (organizational chart)
1 Not material for OMV, material only for Borealis. The El sub-topic “climate adaption” and G1 sub-topic “business ethics incl corruption and bribery” are identified as material subtopics in OMV’s subsidiary Borealis by the Borealis-specific Double Materiality Assessment (DMA)

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48g] OMV’s materiality assessment, conducted in 2023 and reviewed in 2024, was the first under the ESRS framework, applying the double materiality principle to consider both impact and financial materiality. In previous reporting years, OMV had used the Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG) and the GRI guidelines to determine its material topics, as disclosed in our past Sustainability Reports (available on our website). A direct comparison with material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) from a previous reporting period can therefore not be made. OMV plans to conduct an annual review of the material impacts, risks, and opportunities. An extensive materiality analysis involving internal and external stakeholders will be repeated at least every three years or if significant changes in the business or market environment occur. [ESRS-2-IRO-1.53h] Compared to the previous year, Biodiversity and Ecosystems, Workers in the Value Chain, Cybersecurity, and Economic Impact, along with their associated impacts, risks, and opportunities, were identified as additional material topics. For all impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) identified for each material topic (such as Climate Change, Pollution, Water, Own Workforce, Affected Communities, Waste and Circular Economy, Workers in the Value Chain, Biodiversity and Ecosystems, and Business Conduct), the ESRS disclosure requirements and NaDiVeG have been addressed wherever applicable. Where additional entity-specific disclosures have been included within the report, the standards from which these disclosures stem have been included. All additional information included that is relevant to the nature of our industry but does not stem from the aforementioned sources has been defined as a voluntary disclosure. For more details, please see the IROs tables.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48b], [S1-SBM-3.13a-ii], [S2-SBM-3.10a-ii], [S3-SBM-3.8a-ii] OMV is aware of its current and anticipated negative impacts, risks, and opportunities related to climate and the environment and takes these very seriously. As a consequence, OMV’s Strategy 2030 places emphasis on transforming into a sustainable, integrated chemicals, fuels and energy company and achieving significant emissions reductions while responding to market and customer needs. In line with this strategic redirection, our business model and core business processes are continuously adapting. There were no identified current or anticipated effects of material IROs on the business model, value chain strategy, or decision-making in 2024, and therefore no changes were made to the strategy and business model. More details about our strategic focus and business model aligned with our sustainability targets can be found in the Strategy, Business Model, and Value Chain section [ESRS 2-SMB-1].Concrete actions we are taking to mitigate negative environmental impacts and risks and seize opportunities are well-aligned with our strategic goals. Read more about our actions related to our material impacts, risks, and opportunities in the respective chapters about Environment, Social, and Governance.

[S1-SBM-3.13a-ii] Our own employees have always been our primary focus, and ensuring safe and conducive working conditions and talent attraction and retention is a continuous part of our People & Culture Strategy. Therefore, all our material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to our own workforce are already embedded in our strategy and business model, and no major changes are foreseeable. Continuous quality maintenance and improvement measures are screened and implemented as needed; however, they do not impact our strategy and business model as such. For more details, please see the IROs table for S1 Own Workforce [S1-SBM-13a-i].

[S2-SBM-3.10a-ii] When it comes to material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to workers in the value chain, we have noticed a need to adapt the associated measures. With the materiality assessment, we identified S2 Workers in the Value Chain as a material topic. We are very aware of all our material impacts, risks, and opportunities and are very focused on addressing them with appropriate measures. However, at this stage the measures will not affect our strategy and business model. For more details, please see the IROs table for S2 Workers in the Value Chain [S2-SBM-10a-i].

[S3-SBM-3.8a-ii] Regarding affected communities, OMV is aware that transparency, trust, and partnership-based relationships with local communities are key to ensuring that we are a responsible and welcomed neighbor wherever we operate. OMV’s strategy is informed by both positive and negative impacts, such as the failure to respect communities’ economic, social, and cultural rights, and respecting civil and political rights. These are reflected in our Code of Conduct and comprehensive approach to human rights, as outlined in our Human Rights Policy Statement. The impacts inform our strategy through the measurement and fulfillment of our targets. For details see the IROs table for S3 Affected Communities [S3-SBM-10a-]. OMV’s strategy in this context is well suited to addressing the identified impacts, risks, and opportunities, with no immediate adjustments planned.

Among our material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to business conduct, one risk requires our heightened attention: geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Given our operations and value chain connections in countries with political instability, we are closely monitoring the situation on the ground to realistically assess business continuity implications. At this stage we do not see a need to change our strategy and/or business model, and we are closely monitoring the impacts, risks, and opportunities.

[ESRS 2-AR.17] The assessment of the impacts, risks and opportunities reflects the complexity of OMV’s value chain, mapped according to the OMV operating model. The potential risk exposure of suppliers, customers, and JV partners is assessed by mapping global ESG risks and the geographies of the supply chain. This ESG risk assessment is conducted using a global risk intelligence external platform, which provides a detailed list of indices grouped as follows: climate and environment, geopolitics, and social factors, including human rights. For details, see Strategy, Business Model, and Value Chain.

The value chain assessment helps OMV understand its geographical concentration and identify key vulnerabilities along the supply chain, leading to the identification of adaptation measures that increase resilience to short-term challenges and megatrends. This holistic approach enables OMV to pinpoint vulnerabilities in the value chain and engage with key suppliers and customers to address potential issues. Detailed mapping of the material impacts, risks, and opportunities within the value chain can be found under each material topic.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48c-i] Besides the effects of the impacts, risks, and opportunities on our strategy and business model, the impacts reflect OMV’s inside-out effect on the environment and people. OMV’s material impacts, both negative and positive, significantly affect people and the environment. Due to the nature of OMV’s business, operations impact people and the environment through emissions, spills and pollution, and resource depletion. OMV’s adherence to strict environmental regulations and continuous improvement of safety measures aim to minimize these adverse effects. Future positive impacts in this context are expected to result from OMV’s environmental initiatives, such as reducing emissions and investing in renewable energy, which demonstrate OMV’s commitment to sustainable practices and benefit both the planet and future generations through responsible stewardship. OMV’s commitment to safety, human rights, just and favorable working conditions, and community development positively affects employees, workers in the value chain, and local communities. Continued adherence to and enhancement of OMV’s internal framework in these areas are expected to continuously benefit people in future. More information on the effect of material impacts on people and the environment can be found under each material topic.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48c-ii] OMV’s impacts are closely linked to its strategy and business model. As an energy company, OMV’s activities in oil and gas exploration, production, refining, and chemicals result in environmental impacts such as emissions and resource depletion. Conversely, OMV also promotes sustainability, investing in renewable energy and GHG emission reduction initiatives. This dual approach seeks to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship, aligning short-term profitability with long-term responsibility, and positively impacting communities and ecosystems through sustainable transitions. OMV’s commitment to low-carbon operations and achieving net zero emissions by 2050 aims to mitigate negative environmental impacts.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48c-iii] The reasonably expected time horizons of OMV’s impacts vary depending on the nature of activities and initiatives. “Short-term” refers to up to one year and includes immediate operational efficiencies, positive environmental effects, and short-term economic contributions to local communities. Medium-term impacts, spanning up to five years, involve more significant shifts such as reductions in carbon emissions, improvements in working conditions, and advancements in renewable energy investments. The effects of strategic shifts toward sustainability and circular economy practices will become more evident in this period. Long-term impacts, with a time horizon longer than five years, focus on achieving net zero emissions by 2050, substantial environmental restoration, and lasting socio-economic benefits through sustainable development practices and technologies. These time frames reflect OMV’s strategic planning and regulatory compliance efforts.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48c-iv] OMV may be involved with material impacts through its direct activities and business relationships. Direct activities, such as refining, chemical manufacturing, or extraction, can cause environmental and social impacts like emissions, resource depletion, or labor practice issues. For example, exploration activities might result in pollution. OMV can be linked to impacts through business relationships, such as those with suppliers or partners. If suppliers engage in unethical labor practices or cause environmental harm, OMV is indirectly implicated. Both direct operations and business relationships necessitate careful monitoring and management to mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive contributions. More information on whether OMV is involved with a material impact through its activities or because of its business relationships can be found under each impacts, risks, and opportunities table.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48d] The material risks and opportunities identified did not have any material, measurable impact on OMV’s current financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. incurred in 2024 for actions to prevent or mitigate these risks or to benefit from these opportunities is included in the tables summarizing the key actions in the respective chapters, including mapping of CAPEX to the respective impacts, risks, and opportunities. Current financial effects of material risks and opportunities for which there is a significant risk of a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next annual reporting period, considering the base case scenario used for mid-term planning, are disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 3 – Effects of climate change and the energy transition.

[ESRS-2-SBM-3.48f] The resilience of OMV’s strategy and business model is crucial in addressing material impacts and risks while seizing opportunities. OMV’s strategic framework is designed to be adaptable, enabling the Company to navigate the dynamic and often volatile energy market. By integrating sustainability into its core operations, OMV takes a proactive approach to mitigating environmental risks, such as carbon emissions and resource depletion. The Company’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 highlights its long-term vision and dedication to environmental stewardship. Furthermore, OMV employs robust risk management practices to identify and mitigate human rights and operational risks within its supply chain.

This resilience is bolstered by significant investments in renewable energy and technological innovation, positioning OMV to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the sustainable energy sector. By transparently disclosing its strategies and initiatives, OMV reassures stakeholders of its ability to sustain economic growth while maintaining environmental responsibility. The resilience framework that OMV applies to any potential crisis or unpredictable threat follows the same principles of assessment, testing, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
