Carbon Footprint of the Supply Chain

We aim to continuously manage and decrease the carbon volume of our purchased goods and services. OMV is fully committed to climate change mitigation and responsible resource management. Only by working together with our suppliers will we be able to define joint low-carbon initiatives to continuously decrease the carbon emissions in the supply chain and meet our Paris Agreement commitments. For this reason, OMV became a Supply Chain member in 2021.

Management and Due Diligence Processes

Identification of High-Emissions Suppliers

As part of CDP Supply Chain, OMV invited around 140 suppliers to answer the CDP Climate Change questionnaire in 2021. Suppliers were selected based on their estimated carbon emissions volume and the carbon intensity of the goods and services purchased from them. As part of our CDP commitment, we asked the selected suppliers to submit to us their Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, as well as emissions allocated to products and services delivered to OMV.

Supplier Engagement

Individual meetings and webinars were organized in 2021 to help suppliers understand how to fill out the CDP questionnaire and why this information is important to OMV. In addition to reporting their emissions, we asked the suppliers whether they have carbon reduction targets in place and invited them to share with us any initiatives or projects to reduce carbon emissions in which they would like us to participate. Sustainable procurement and low-carbon procurement were also topics included in the agenda of our annual strategic supplier meetings.

Outlook

For the coming years, we plan to expand the CDP Supply Chain initiative started in 2021 and increase the number of supplier engagements.

1OMV defines A suppliers as suppliers covering 80% of Procurement spend. We plan to increase the number of A suppliers engaged annually to reach 100% of A suppliers by 2025.
