Human Rights in Development and Business<br />

OMV Gap Analysis. Support of OMV in the Implementation of its Human Rights<br />

related Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy<br />

Summary<br />

In this project, <strong>BIM</strong> and Human Rights Consulting Vienna support the Oil & Gas company OMV in implementing<br />

its human rights strategy. The first and second phase of the project – analysis of pertinent<br />

business and human rights standards and a compilation of human rights standards relevant for OMV –<br />

have been completed. In the third phase, this compilation (the “OMV Human Rights Matrix”) is being<br />

tested and implemented in selected OMV countries. Implementation steps will include training for OMV<br />

management and targeted measures for OMV bureaus in the regions. The first successful road tests of<br />

the matrix have been done in Tunisia, Jemen, and Pakistan. In addition a step-by-step roll-over of the<br />

matrix to the operations of the OMV-owned Romanian company PETROM is ongoing.<br />
