Chemicals & Materials
By further developing our business model, we intend to establish a sustainable portfolio of energy and chemicals that also includes recycling. The major shareholding in Borealis provides a foundation for this evolution. And with this we are ushering in a transformation: From a traditional oil and gas company, OMV will become a global gas, oil and chemicals group, one whose significantly expanded value chain extends from the wellhead to the refinery to high-quality plastics and includes recycling. With this, OMV is laying the ground for a lower-carbon future.
