OMV recognized as CDP Supplier Engagement Leader

• First-time recognition as a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader
• OMV among the top 8% of companies included in CDP’s Supplier Engagement Leaderboard

OMV has earned a place on CDP’s prestigious Supplier Engagement Leaderboard for its efforts to measure and reduce climate risk within its supply chain through active engagement and collaboration with its suppliers. CDP is a non-profit organization that runs the leading global disclosure system for the management of environmental impacts.

CDP’s annual Supplier Engagement Rating (SER) assesses how companies are engaging with their suppliers on their carbon footprint and climate targets, thus enabling them to enhance accuracy and transparency on Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions related to purchased goods and services. In 2022, 12 mn t of OMV’s Scope 3 emissions were linked to emissions from its suppliers versus 13.5 mn t in 2021. OMV aims to reduce its total Scope 3 emissions by ≥50% versus 2019, by 2040.  

Through its annual Climate Change questionnaire, CDP assesses performance using each company’s response to selected questions on governance, targets, scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement. OMV was placed on the leaderboard as a result of working directly with suppliers to reduce emissions and lower environmental risks in the supply chain. Of all the companies that disclosed through CDP’s full climate questionnaire, only the top 8% globally earned a place on the 2022 SER Leaderboard.

OMV Senior Vice President Klaus Blachnik, Chief Procurement Officer, “OMV aims to become a net-zero-business by 2050 and our role in Procurement is to actively contribute to this journey through continuous collaboration and engagement with our suppliers on climate change topics that impact our supply chain. By 2025, our aim is to engage with all our key suppliers so that we can get a better understanding of their carbon footprint and climate change ambitions and provide them with the opportunity to share ideas on the changes that can be made in our procurement process to achieve carbon neutral supply chains. Only by working together can we build carbon neutral businesses by 2050 and create a sustainable future.”
