Economic Data: Significant Fines and Instances of Non-Compliance

In 2023, OMV Petrom S.A. received 17 additional non-significant monetary fines (all: <EUR 10,000, total: EUR 63,250) for various incidents of non-compliance with regard to environmental laws and regulations. The fines were issued by the National Environment Guard and the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, and due to their recurring nature, they have been disclosed. In addition, OMV Petrom Marketing SRL received 21 non-significant monetary fines (all: <EUR 10,000; total: EUR 43,000) that were issued by the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations for non-compliance with laws and regulations regarding social and economic issues. In 2023, OMV Petrom S.A. and OMV Petrom Marketing SRL began implementing several mitigating measures to prevent further fines being received in the future. For example, corrosion management plans are being developed for existing facilities, while for new facilities and pipelines, a corrosion management plan is being issued and implemented before commissioning and start-up. Furthermore, the integrity and maintenance of existing pipelines is being evaluated and conducted regularly.

Biodiversity

Requirement omitted:
304-1-a-i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi,vii
Reason: Information unavailable/incomplete
Explanation: In 2021, we began mapping all our sites to determine if any are located in or near protected areas. Initial screening revealed that this is the case.
In 2022, we started to work on a biodiversity management framework and in Q3 2023, we kicked off a project to perform a TNFD LEAP assessment for all our operated sites. This will enable us to report on areas of high biodiversity value in the future. We intend to publish the first TNFD-aligned disclosures in 2024.

11.4.2

304-2

Significant impacts of activities, products, and services on biodiversity

Biodiversity
Our operations (e.g., well drilling, construction of new sites) have an impact on biodiversity. We apply a mitigation hierarchy, while action planning prioritizes avoidance and minimization over the restoration and offsetting of the impact. We take steps to avoid impacting sensitive species and ecosystems. For instance, during exploration activities at the Wittau site in Austria, a range of technologies was used to mitigate the impact on insects and birds to the fullest extent possible. As the target location was positioned below a sensitive area, the drill site was moved to a less sensitive place and directional drilling technology was employed. Insect-friendly lighting was used during the whole drilling operation. For well testing, enclosed incinerators were used instead of open flares to minimize disturbance to the local ecosystem.

Requirement omitted:
304-2-a-i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi
304-2-b-i,ii,iii,iv
Reason: Information unavailable/incomplete
Explanation: We disclose examples of projects that show how we mitigate impacts on species, but do not yet track this for all sites using consistent metrics. In Q3 2023, we kicked off a project to perform a TNFD LEAP assess­ment for all our operated sites. This will also enable us to report on significant impacts in the future. We intend to publish the first TNFD-aligned disclosures in 2024.

Waste
Wherever available, waste data is collected and reported in the Group-wide HSSE reporting tool on a quarterly basis. The person recording, reporting, or collecting the information in the HSSE reporting system is different from the person(s) validating or approving it, thus ensuring we follow the four-eyes principle. All reported waste data goes through a thorough check as part of the annual campaign, during which data providers can submit explanations of the reduction or increase in the waste volume. Before the data is reported in the annual Sustainability Report, plausibility checks are carried out by the HSSE team at Group level to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the data.

Requirement omitted: 403-8-a-i,ii,iii
Reason: Information unavailable/incomplete
Explanation: Only employees reported. We cannot give a percentage of contractors as numbers of contractors are not collected separately at all sites; at some they are reported collectively by a legal entity in charge of multiple locations. We will begin the process of assessing the feasibility of reporting the percentage of contractors covered by the occupational health and safety system over the course of 2024.

Work-related injuries

Safety Data: Occupational Safety

403-9-a-iv: Work-related injuries can include, but are not limited to, the following: health-related fatality in the workplace, restricted work-related injury, fatality, medical treatment injury, an injury that requires first aid, and any injury that results in lost working days.

403-9-c-i,ii,iii; 403-9-d: Work-related hazards that pose a risk of high-consequence injury are determined through job safety analysis and a detailed risk assessment. For an oil, gas, and chemicals company, the majority of the high-consequence injuries often occur at the sites (e.g., refineries) and the hazards identified are mainly related to handling and working with heavy machinery, working with chemical substances, exposure to gases, and fire hazards. Once hazards have been identified, the potential to eliminate them is evaluated. If it is not possible, e.g., due to the nature of the operation, any employee or contractor who is exposed to the hazard is extensively trained. Additionally, equipment to protect against the hazard (e.g., PPE kits, on-site fire department, etc.), safety manuals, and signs are also made available.

403-10-c-i,ii,iii, 403-10-d, 403-10-e
Reason: Legal prohibitions
Explanation: In most of the countries where OMV operates, the legal definition of an “occupational health illness” varies widely (Health is excluded from the EU Maastricht Treaty). The investigation and decision of potential cases is not carried out by the company medical teams but by legally appointed authorities. In Austria, we do not even get feedback on their decision.

Assessment of the health and safety impacts of product and service categories

Product Safety
100% of products are assessed. The potential health and safety impact of products delivered by the OMV Group is covered by means of regulated documents – safety data sheets issued for each sold product (according to Regulation EC No 1907/2006 – REACH). Safety data sheets are compiled and regularly updated, based on the registration documentation submitted for the concerned substances contained in the products to the European Chemicals Agency – ECHA. These include chemical safety assessments/reports, as well as exposure scenarios for supported uses by workers, professionals, and consumers as applicable.

Programs for upgrading employee skills and transition assistance programs

Skills Development and Training

Requirement omitted: 404-2-b
Reason: Information unavailable/incomplete
Explanation: In Austria, we offer such programs on a continuous basis for employees that have been terminated. We are also prepared to offer such programs in the event of reorganizations, but these decisions are taken when and if required only. For employees approaching retirement, we offer part-time options in line with the local legal framework. However, we do not have transition support programs designed specifically for retired employees. We aim to start collecting this data for the Group from 2024 onward.

Percentage of employees receiving regular performance and career development reviews

Talent Attraction and Retention
OMV reports that there were 13,868 performance and development reviews in the reporting year, with some employees having more than one review. 13,073 employees (91% of eligible female employees and 87% of eligible male employees) participated in performance and development reviews. These employees represent approximately 88% of all employees eligible to receive reviews in the dedicated IT platform. Excluded are office-based employees at OMV Petrom as they do not have access to the platform, and thus are not included in the calculation of this percentage.

Requirement omitted: 404-3-a
Reason: Information unavailable/incomplete
Explanation: Employees are split by gender but not by employee category. If employees received multiple reviews during the year, they might be in different employee categories during the different reviews due to promotion, so it is not possible to definitively assign employees to categories in a way that would enable meaningful disclosure. There is currently no plan to disclose the split by employee category in the foreseeable future.

Communication and training about anti-corruption policies and procedures

Business Ethics and Anti-Corruption
OMV’s anti-corruption policies are communicated to all employees and business partners irrespective of region and type/category. A breakdown of employees by region can be found under Workforce Data: Year-End Headcount by Region, Gender, Employment and Contract Type.
Supervisory Board members receive training with regard to issuer compliance and respective legal obligations. The Code of Business Ethics is brought to their attention.

Requirements omitted: 205-2-d, 205-2-e
Reason: Information unavailable/incomplete
Explanation: We report the total number of employees that have received training on anti-corruption, but are not able to provide the training numbers broken down by region or employee category. This is because we assign target groups to training courses based on risks, taking into consideration affiliation to a certain business unit or the type of activities performed rather than specific regions or employee categories. Due to the set-up of the training courses over two-year cycles, there is currently no plan to disclose this in the foreseeable future.
