E3-3 Targets Related to Water

[MDR-T.81b-i] OMV has not yet established an ESRS-aligned target for the material topic E3 Water as we do not consider it to be of strategic priority for our current operations. However, we have been reporting on freshwater withdrawal since 2021 and our ambition is to reduce freshwater withdrawal and minimize the impact of water use, particularly in water-scarce areas. This commitment is outlined in our Code of Conduct and Environmental Management Standard. We track the effectiveness of our efforts by measuring the year-on-year reduction of freshwater withdrawal within our operations, without using a specific base year.
