Our mission is to set up the OMV Group’s Human Resources department as a value-creating organization that fully supports the OMV Group’s strategy. To achieve these goals, we focus on the priorities that enable us to unlock our organization’s full potential. The main pillars of our People Strategy are therefore inspiring leaders, building high-performing diverse teams, ensuring performance-focused and principle-led conduct, guaranteeing organizational agility and excellence, and making sure OMV is a great place to work. Our People Strategy drives all of our HR initiatives.

Building and retaining a talented and skilled team for international and integrated growth is a key factor in the success of the Group’s strategy. We are committed to creating an environment in which every employee can learn, grow, connect, and collaborate as well as live a safe and healthy life. OMV’s core commitments to its employees are detailed in the Code of Conduct. These include promoting learning and development, and creating an environment where people can develop professionally and fulfill their personal aspirations in line with our business needs.
