Better Health for All

OMV's core business in crude oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals means that 100% of its 2024 revenue (€30,578 million) is derived from products with well-established negative health outcomes.

While the company mentions efforts to reduce fossil fuel production and increase sustainable products, these are currently token alternatives in terms of revenue share, leading to a score of -90 for harmful revenue share. Similarly, the net health effect of its principal goods and services is significantly negative, with over 90% of its core products having negative health consequences, also resulting in a -90 score. The company's operations also generate significant health-harming externalities. In 2024, OMV reported 2,305 total spills with a volume of 127,015 liters, and its subsidiary Borealis generated over 4 million tonnes of microplastics, with 0.018 tonnes emitted as unrecovered pellet spills. While OMV has made partial remediation efforts, including a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 10% reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2019, these ongoing incidents indicate significant health-harming externalities with partial remediation, leading to a score of -80.
