Targets
Engage with Suppliers to Assess Their Carbon Footprint
One focus area of regular engagement with our suppliers is reducing carbon emissions. This annual engagement with numerous suppliers supports our 2030 target of maintaining active, climate-related engagement with suppliers representing 80% of Procurement spend, as a foundation for initiating and running joint low-carbon initiatives. This goal of engaging with suppliers that cover 80% of Procurement spend by 2025 aligns with our commitment to transforming into a net-zero business by 2050. Furthermore, this goal supports the Sustainable Procurement ambition to give sustainability a “value” in sourcing, which is stipulated by our Corporate Procurement Directive. It encompasses not only our own operations but also our product portfolio and other emissions along the value chain. Internal stakeholders (e.g., Executive Board members and the Sustainability department) and external stakeholders (i.e., CDP) were involved in the target setting, with final approval by OMV’s Executive Board.

This KPI has been established to enhance the accuracy and transparency of Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services. We have adopted the 80/20 approach, focusing on suppliers that account for 80% of Procurement spend to maximize impact. In alignment with our business strategy review and the recent EU regulatory developments, including the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LKsG) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), our 2030 target was subsequently revised, following approval by OMV’s Sustainability Coordination Forum in October 2025. There were no changes in methodologies, which are periodically reviewed to ensure they reflect the latest sustainable procurement standards and practices.
Status 2025
100% of suppliers covering >80% of Procurement spend engaged to assess their carbon footprint and define and run joint low-carbon initiatives. (2024: 100%) This target is reviewed annually.
