(head count as of December 31). This target was developed during internal consultations by the P&C department. It was then presented for review to the Executive Board, DE&I sponsors of OMV, Group Sustainability, and other relevant corporate and business functions within OMV, OMV Petrom, and Borealis. The OMV Executive Board subsequently approved the target. It focuses on the negative impact on our own workforce related to reskilling and attraction of talent and trained staff. No changes were made to this target in the reporting year.
Increasing employees’ learning hours will sufficiently support the necessary skills development. An increase in the number of learning hours is required to meet the need for mandatory/HSSE training and to guarantee the necessary upskilling and reskilling. Based on a comparison with industry peers and the assumption that an annual increase of 3-4 hours on average per year is realistic and manageable, we defined the target of 30 hours. The metric used is the total number of training hours provided to employees divided by the total number of employeesStatus 2024:
23 average number of annual learning hours (2023: 30). The target is monitored quarterly and reviewed annually.
The process for setting our DE&I targets includes an evaluation of past data, external best practice analysis, and legal requirements. This is followed by consultations with the Group Sustainability department, Group DE&I Governance, and finally approval by the Group Executive Board. We monitor our performance against these targets quarterly and review them annually. The quarterly review of progress toward these targets, combined with year-on-year figures, provides an insight into the effectiveness of the actions taken to achieve them. DE&I targets, and their results are shared with the leadership team and the Executive Board during Group People Days to discuss potential positive or negative trends and actions to take for improvement. In addition, they are shared with our Employee Resource Groups which represent the impacted workers, to provide input and plan measures for improvements.
