Climate protection is a teamwork affair and demands global solutions. The transformation needed can only be achieved together with strong partners. Lufthansa Cargo has announced that the airline has joined the Smart Freight Centre community. Smart Freight Centre (SFC) is an international non-profit organisation focused on reducing greenhouse gas emission from freight transportation. “We are proud to welcome Lufthansa Cargo, an innovation driver in the transition to low-carbon aviation, to the SFC Community. Lufthansa Cargo began this journey decades ago and has since developed extensive expertise in green strategies and carbon accounting, providing robust and reliable evidence of their impact – a valuable asset that will strengthen our joint efforts towards decarbonizing the aviation industry”, says Andrea Schoen, Director of the Clean Air Transport program, Smart Freight Center.
“As a leading international cargo airline, our mission is to enable global business and connect economies and markets in a more sustainable way. The collaboration with SFC’s industry-leading network will support us in pursuing our strategy for a more sustainable future,” says Bettina Jansen from the Environmental Management team at Lufthansa Cargo. Together with the Lufthansa Group, the cargo airline has set itself ambitious climate protection targets. Lufthansa Cargo wants to achieve a neutral CO2 balance by 2050 and halve net CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2019. All targets include carbon reduction and offsetting measures, it stressed in a release.
