Lufthansa Cargo's reported carbon emissions

In 2012, Lufthansa Cargo reported specific CO2 emissions in freight transportation of approximately 0.499 tonnes CO2e per tonne transported. However, there is no recent data available on total carbon emissions or specific reduction targets. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor have they outlined any formal climate commitments or reduction initiatives. As the air cargo industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Lufthansa Cargo's lack of specified reduction targets highlights the need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action. The company operates within a sector that is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, and future commitments will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
