Sustainability at OMV Petrom

How we manage sustainability

Our 2030 Strategy, which we announced in 2021, shows our commitment to transform for a lower carbon future, with sustainability fully embedded in our business plans. Driving the Energy transition in SE Europe remains the strategic ambition and the core of our sustainability efforts. Our sustainability actions are focused on running responsible operations, fostering people and communities, and leveraging innovation & digitalization.

 

The goals of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda are an integral part of our sustainability mission, and the Sustainability Framework covers all relevant material topics. Their priority for OMV Petrom was last confirmed by the materiality analysis adjustment performed in 2022 from a business impact perspective. Renewed clear commitments, action plans and targets were developed in 2022, which extend to 2030, to address the expectations of our stakeholders: employees, communities, customers, partners, and shareholders.

*Note: The topic “Customer and Product Responsibility” is currently addressed within HSS and Circular Economy & Innovation in the Sustainability Framework.

Strategic sustainability commitments extended to 2030

OMV Petrom communicated its emissions reduction targets by 2030 and its ambition of reaching NET Zero in operations by 2050. The 2030 climate targets were complemented in 2022 by commitments and targets for all the other focus areas of the sustainability framework, while progress on previously 2025 assumed targets is monitored.

By 2030, we aim to have 60% of our total portfolio made up of low and zero carbon products, with 35% of our CAPEX supporting this. A sustainable and more diversified portfolio will be reached by investing in biofuels, alternative mobility, renewable power generation and new technologies.
