HSSE data from operations under management control have been fully taken into account, i.e. data from all OMV Group activities with a stake of more than 50%, in particular:

  • OMV Petrom S.A. where OMV holds 51% of the shares
  • Retail Business (all retail brands of OMV, OMV Petrom and OMV Petrol Ofisi)
  • Upstream OMV operated countries: Austria, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Yemen,  Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Romania (OMV Petrom)
  • Refineries Schwechat, Burghausen and Petrobrazi; including transport and storage facilities
  • Gas logistics (transit and storage in Austria and Romania)
  • Downstream Gas – power plants in Romania (Brazi & Petrom City)
  • Production enhancement contracts (PECs) for small fields with partners in Romania
  • Joint ventures, including minority shareholdings, where OMV exerts controlling influence as operator

Occupational workplace incident data for all contractors (including subcontractors and all lower tier subcontractors) under management control (i.e., data from all OMV Group activities with a stake of more than 50%) have been fully taken into account.

Contractor and subcontractor workplace incident data at joint ventures, including minority shareholdings, where OMV exerts controlling influence as an operator is reported.

The following data has not been taken into account for environmental data in this report:

  • Figures from holdings of 50% or less if there is no significant operational influence
  • Office buildings in European countries of OMV Downstream’s Marketing Divisions (except Austria and Romania) as well as of non-operative Upstream countries
  • Filling stations, due to the fact that the vast majority of them are operated by partners functioning as independent companies, except filling stations under the control of OMV Petrom Marketing that meet the above-mentioned boundary criteria

Greenhouse Gas Scope 3 emissions include the following categories:

  • GHG emissions from processing and use of sold products: These include total sales amounts from companies that are under operational or financial control by OMV and include oil product sales at filling stations undertaken in the name of OMV.
  • Only sales to the market/customer are included. Pure “trading margin” sales as well as intercompany sales are excluded.
  • Since 2015, Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and capital goods are included.
  • Since 2018 feedstock for refineries is included in Scope 3
  • Since 2019 biogenic CO2 emissions are included as other indirect (Scope 3) emissions

All grievances disclosed in the OMV Sustainability Report 2019 were received in the OMV Upstream-operated countries and in the three OMV refineries (Burghausen in Germany, Schwechat in Austria, and Petrobrazi in Romania).

The data is consolidated at Group level.
