Sustainability at OMV Petrom

We have a long tradition of responsible behavior towards employees, environment and communities.

We know that energy is essential for the economy and society. At the same time, we understand the impact it has on the environment. This is why we run operations responsibly, efficiently and innovatively, with a strong focus on long-term value creation for both the company and our stakeholders. 

Guided by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, we integrate ethical practices, community support, and environmental care into our operations. Through our Strategy 2030, we are committed to transitioning to a low-carbon future, embedding sustainability into our core business strategy and contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals with clear targets and actions aimed at achieving net-zero operations by 2050.

We concentrate our sustainability efforts on four focus areas: Climate Change & Energy Transition, Run Responsible Operations, Leverage Innovation & Digitalization and Foster People and Communities. Find out more from our Sustainability Framework.

Social Investments

We are part of Romania's economic and social fabric. Since 2007, OMV Petrom has included corporate responsibility principles into the business strategy. Between 2007-2024, we have allocated ~€190 mn to develop communities in Romania, focusing on environmental protection, education, health, and local development:

Environment - the projects we support encourage energy and water efficiency, protect biodiversity, promote recycling, planting trees, safety in communities, innovation and new technologies aiming to address environmental issues.



Education - we support initiatives that encourage equal access to quality education, support the national education system, help develop technical skills and vocational education, assist with infrastructure development and promote education as a basis for society's growth.

Health - we support projects that ensure access to quality health care services, support the development of medical infrastructure, promote education as a basis for society's growth and encourage a healthy lifestyle.

OMV Petrom Foundation

Launched in 2022, OMV Petrom Foundation is building programs and supporting long-term investments in Romania. Its mission is to connect and develop communities. 

Guided by values such as equity, integrity, responsibility towards society, empathy, the Foundation's long-term partnerships aim to build a better tomorrow for Romania and Romanians through education, health and environment programs.


ESG Disclosure

In July 2020, OMV Petrom became the first Romanian company to support the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
