Promote awareness of ethical values and principles
To address the positive impact of ensuring uniform compliance with our business ethics policies across all locations, an action related to training employees has been defined with the aim of promoting awareness of ethical values and principles among all targeted employees by 2030.
Through OMV’s Code of Conduct, we are committed to respecting and upholding the principles of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, and all applicable national anti-corruption legislation. Ensuring uniform compliance with our business ethics standards across all operations is our highest priority. We achieve this by conducting in-person or online ethics training for all targeted employees and promoting awareness of ethical values and principles among them.
