[E5-3.27] [MDR-T-81a-81b-i] Considering the ongoing deconsolidation of the subsidiary Borealis, OMV temporarily withdrew its target related to E5 Resource Use and Circular Economy during its Capital Markets Update 2025. Borealis was expected to make a significant contribution to achieving this target. Once the deconsolidation process is complete, OMV will consider setting a new target in 2026 that is both aligned with Borealis as a customer and achievable under the new business structure. Despite the deconsolidation and current market uncertainties, OMV remains committed to increasing the sales volume of sustainable chemicals to third-party customers, thereby supporting the growth of the circular economy.

OMV’s commitment is grounded in supporting our downstream customers in complying with relevant EU regulations, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (ELVD), and the EU Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP). This commitment focuses on increasing the circular design of products by ensuring the availability of raw materials (chemicals and polymers) for downstream customers who aim to produce goods using renewable and recycled inputs. Working with value chain partners is essential to developing more sustainable, resource-efficient, and innovative product solutions. OMV and Borealis frequently seek out value chain collaborations to make a positive impact together. OMV’s commitment to increase sustainable sales volumes also directly supports minimizing the use of primary raw materials. Beyond regulatory compliance, OMV places a strong focus on sourcing waste-based and advanced feedstocks for its renewable chemicals production, as well as on selecting partners that share its sustainability principles.
