Lufthansa Airlines and Lufthansa CityLine have once again received validation under the European Union’s EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) regulation for their environmental management systems at the Frankfurt and Munich hubs. The EMAS seal recognizes companies that voluntarily adopt rigorous standards for environmental management and auditing, with external assessors reviewing their processes in detail.
The validation highlights the ongoing efforts of both airlines to improve their operational environmental management. The assessment process includes audits, inspections, and discussions with specialist departments to evaluate how well employees are implementing these values.
Jens Ritter, CEO of Lufthansa Airlines, commented on the milestone: "With the 2025 environmental statement, we are celebrating a special anniversary: 25 years ago, Lufthansa CityLine was the first airline worldwide to receive validation according to the demanding EMAS standard. Since then, we have been continuously working on the further development of our operational environmental management system. Through more efficient use of resources and optimized processes at Lufthansa Airlines and Lufthansa CityLine, we are advancing both environmental and economic goals. We are maintaining this course even in economically challenging times."
