Lufthansa Group Leads in Climate Action with Top CDP Rating
For the second consecutive year, the Lufthansa Group has distinguished itself in environmental stewardship, securing an "A-" rating in the prestigious CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) climate ranking. This achievement not only underscores the Lufthansa Group's dedication to reducing CO2 emissions but also reaffirms its status as a trailblazer in the quest for sustainable aviation.
The CDP's 2023 global climate ranking evaluated companies across various dimensions, including direct and indirect emissions, emission reduction initiatives, low-emission products, and transparency in disclosing risks and opportunities. Lufthansa Group's consistent "A-" score places it at the forefront of global efforts to combat climate change, highlighting its comprehensive approach to sustainability.
Regarded as the benchmark for environmental transparency, the CDP ranking is a testament to the effectiveness of Lufthansa Group's strategies to mitigate its environmental impact. Participating in CDP reporting since 2006, the Lufthansa Group has demonstrated unwavering commitment to not only setting ambitious climate targets but also achieving them. The company's proactive measures span from fleet modernization and the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to optimizing flight operations and promoting more sustainable travel options for both private and corporate customers.
The Lufthansa Group's visionary climate goals are aligned with the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, aiming for a carbon-neutral status by 2050 and a 50% reduction in net CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. This target, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), positions the Lufthansa Group as a leader in the European airline industry's transition towards more sustainable practices.
By focusing on innovation and sustainability, the Lufthansa Group not only contributes to the global fight against climate change but also sets a new standard for the aviation industry. Its efforts extend beyond operational improvements, with significant contributions to climate and weather research, showcasing a holistic approach to environmental responsibility.
As the Lufthansa Group continues to lead by example, its achievements in the CDP climate ranking serve as a beacon for other corporations, encouraging a collective movement towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
