The HSSE targets in S1 Health, Safety & Well-Being (excluding the target on preventive health programs with a focus on mental well-being) and S2 Workers in the Value Chain apply to all our own employees and non-employees (leased personnel e.g., engineering and technical staff, operational field staff, HSSE, project managers, supply chain and procurement, legal and compliance) and all other workers working on OMV sites, called contractors and sub-contractors. To ensure comparability of these indicators across the industry, the targets are established based on best practice guidelines for the oil, gas, and chemicals industry. All targets are monitored monthly and reviewed annually to evaluate our year-on-year performance and identify potential areas for improvement.

The KPI is calculated independently for each year, without reference to prior years.
The Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) is the number of recordable injuries (fatalities, lost workday cases, restricted workday cases, and medical treatment cases) per 1,000,000 hours worked. The TRIR is calculated on an annual basis and reported as a combined rate including both employee and contractor data. The following sources are used to define or benchmark this KPI: OMV HSSE Policy/Directive, OMV Group HSSE Policy, and the internal HSSE reporting tool. Reporting follows IOGP safety and environmental data reporting, Concawe reporting guidelines, and Ipieca/IOGP Health Performance Indicators, which provide guidance for the oil and gas industry. The target was proposed during internal workshops involving relevant internal stakeholders and business functions and approved by the OMV Executive Board (EB). As the target was set in 2024, no changes to the target, metrics, or methodologies apply.
Status 2024:
TRIR: 1.33 per 1 mn hours worked (2023: 1.382023 TRIR restated from 1.37 to 1.38 due to reclassification of 2 Borealis incidents (1 employee and 1 contractor).)
Engagement walks/HSSE walks
This target supports our strategic goal of “Enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes, regulations, and tools” as defined in the OMV Group HSSE Strategy 2030. It aims to ensure safe work on site, share positive observations, eliminate unsafe situations and behavior, and generate commitment.
2025
30% of the HSSE Engagement Walk (EW) should be associated with the following focus areas:
1. EW with LSR focus, 2. EW with contractors, 3. EW for training newcomers and less experienced employees
2030
EW with positive observations rewarded to be added by 2030
Relative Target
Value chain activities
Own operations (including contracted services when applicable)
In scope
100% for fully owned assets and for assets where the Group’s interest is less than 100% but more than 50%, and where the Group’s interest is 50% or less if OMV is the operator of a joint venture
Out of scope
Joint ventures where OMV does not have control or operatorship

n.a.
The target is calculated as (Number of EW LSR + Number EW Contractors + Number EW Coached)/(Total Number of EW) * 100. Number of EW with LSR focus refers to engagement walks (EW) with a focus on the Life-Saving Rules, EW with contractors refers to engagement walks with contractors, and EW coached refers to EW for training newcomers and less experienced employees. The target was proposed during internal workshops involving relevant internal stakeholders including Group HSSE (e.g., in the refineries), Group Sustainability and specific business functions. It was approved by the OMV Executive Board (EB). The target focuses on reducing negative impacts on safety. This is a new target established to ensure safe work on site to reduce material impacts on our own and the contractor workforce.
Status 2024:
The development, coordination, and rollout of this Leading KPI (LeKPI) took place in 2024. The necessary reporting platform was expanded to enable the entry and processing of the planned and actual values to enable its tracking. The initial tracking will start from 2025.
Preventive health programs with a focus on mental well-being
This target supports the strategic goal to “Improve workability through integrated health management” as defined in the OMV Group HSSE Strategy 2030 and is in line with our commitment to supporting our employees in improving both their mental well-being and physical health.
2025
At least 3 Group actions (webinars, surveys, lectures) targeting mental health topics
2030
Reaching at least 30% exposure of total employees’ number to at least to 1 mental health activity
Relative target from 2025-2030;
Absolute target from 2030 onward

The methodology for calculating achievements in 2025 involves reporting the quantitative number of each type of mental health event organized per year by the Health Management Department, including internal communications (blogs, MyNews), webinars, and mental health training. For 2030, the methodology involves calculating the percentage of the total number of people exposed to at least one of the activities organized on the mental health topic in the last five years, relative to the total number of employees. The assumption regarding the number of participants attending the online events is based on the number of individuals who accepted the training invitation.
The target was proposed during internal workshops involving relevant internal stakeholders and business functions and approved by the OMV Executive Board (EB). As the target was set in 2024, no changes to the target, metrics, or methodologies apply.
Status 2024:
In 2024, nearly 500 people attended at the peak of participation. On average, 350 people attended the mental health webinars. During the year, four webinars were conducted, and four on-request training sessions were organized for the business divisions. Additionally, seven blogs and two MyNews articles were published to raise awareness of this topic on OMV’s Intranet. The first session for mental health first aiders was implemented, training 12 participants over three full days to recognize acute signs of mental health disorders. Furthermore, a leadership training session on the impact of leadership on mental health was conducted for CEO Line 1 managers.

The methodology to derive work-related fatalities is based on the guidelines outlined in the OMV Group HSSE Policy and follows reporting standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), IOGP safety and environmental data reporting, Concawe reporting guidelines, and Ipieca/IOGP Health Performance Indicators, which serve as a guide for the oil and gas industry. The target was proposed during internal workshops involving relevant internal stakeholders and business functions and approved by the OMV Executive Board (EB). There were no changes to this target in 2024.
Status 2024:
0 work-related fatalities (2023: 1)
The process for setting our HSSE targets on incidents, engagement walks/HSSE walks, preventive health programs with a focus on mental well-being, and work-related fatalities included an evaluation of the results from reported HSSE incidents, internal audits, and contractor assessments to identify areas for improvement. This was followed by consultations with internal stakeholders like EB members and the Group Sustainability department, as well as benchmarking against IOGP and Concawe best practices and guidelines. We did not directly engage with workers in our value chain or their representatives. We monitor our performance against these targets monthly and review them annually. The monthly review of progress toward these targets, combined with year-on-year figures, provides insight into the effectiveness of the actions taken to achieve them. If a negative trend is observed, we investigate the root cause and ensure the lessons learned are shared with affected stakeholders (e.g., employees, partners, and contractors).
