This chapter encompasses information about Health, Safety & Well-Being and Human Rights and Equal Treatment in relation to our business activities across our three material stakeholder groups: our Own Workforce (S1), Workers in the Value Chain (S2), and Affected Communities (S3).
Our operations impact people in different ways, both positively and negatively. Our social license to operate is based on upholding human and labor rights and developing positive relationships with our employees and communities, which is why we prioritize high standards in this context.
We are also aware that the energy transition has social impacts. OMV is committed to contributing to a Just Transition for our employees and communities and addressing the social and economic effects of the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy.
Human rights are universal and guide our conduct in all our actions. As a United Nations Global Compact signatory, OMV is fully committed to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and aims to contribute to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through a social investment strategy that addresses local needs and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. OMV strives to be a fair and responsible employer. We are committed to upholding human rights in all operations and to addressing any adverse human rights impacts we are involved in. We specifically concentrate on the impact of our activities on the human rights of individuals and groups that are more likely to be in vulnerable situations, such as indigenous peoples, women, or children.
