Our foundation

To support OMV’s business strategy and evolve our culture, we clearly articulated our OMV Foundation, which answers the questions: Why does OMV exist? What are we doing? How are we working together?

Our Purpose: The energy for a better life.

Energy is part of our lives: Conventional and alternative fuels enable mobility. Natural gas heats homes. Petrochemical products form the basis for plastics we use everywhere – from everyday products (e.g., cables and packaging material) to high-tech applications (e.g., medical consumables and materials for the automotive industry).

Behind all of these products is OMV energy: energy bringing more convenience and more comfort to life. Along the entire value chain, OMV contributes expertise, technological know-how, and innovations to improve the quality of people’s lives. Safe. Carbon-efficient. Responsible. And Profitable. Today and tomorrow.

Our Business Reason: OMV produces and markets oil and gas, innovative energy, and high-end petrochemical solutions – in a responsible way.

Oil and gas have been – and will continue to be – the backbone of the global energy supply. This is why OMV has been investing in modern technologies for greater plant efficiency, process sustainability, and product value. OMV’s innovative capacity and technological expertise safeguard energy for a better life.

Our Principles – Team Spirit, Accountability, Passion, Pioneering Spirit, and Performance – describe what we can expect from each other and how we want to work together.
