Lufthansa Cargo's reported carbon emissions

In 2012, Lufthansa Cargo reported specific CO2 emissions in freight transportation at approximately 0.499 tonnes CO2e per tonne transported. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, indicating a corporate commitment to tracking and managing carbon emissions within the aviation sector. Currently, Lufthansa Cargo has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reduction or climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and 3 suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. However, as a subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, it aligns with broader corporate sustainability initiatives and industry standards. Lufthansa Cargo's emissions data and climate strategies reflect the ongoing challenges faced by the air freight industry in addressing climate change. The company is expected to enhance its reporting and reduction initiatives in the future, contributing to the overall goals of the aviation sector to reduce its carbon footprint.
