From now until
September 2, interested Master's degree graduates who have already dealt with
the topic of sustainability during their studies or internships can apply via
the homepage www.greenmobilitytrainee.de. The trainee
program begins on February 1, 2024, and runs for 18 months. With this program,
the Lufthansa Group underscores its commitment to a future-oriented and more
sustainable aviation industry.
The trainees will
each work on three sustainability projects in different companies of the
Lufthansa Group. A broad and diverse spectrum enables the trainees to gain an
understanding of the entire aviation industry: from passenger transportation to
logistics and technology to IT. In addition to the individual challenges of the
companies, the trainees learn about the different ways of working, approaches
to solutions and corporate cultures. They dive deep into the latest research
and engage in close exchange with technological pioneers of sustainable
mobility. Training in the areas of pitching, storytelling and project
management round off the program.
Trainees acquire the
necessary tools to help shape solutions for a shift towards a greener industry.
Participants of the first generation with a focus on sustainable logistics
participated, among other things, in the development of a digital dashboard for
the individual CO2 calculation of freight shipments.
"Pro Master
Sustainability" student programme
Young talents who are
still at the beginning of their master's studies with a focus on sustainability
also have opportunities to shape the Lufthansa Group more sustainably through
the student program "Pro Master Sustainability". Those interested can

Lufthansa Group
pursues ambitious sustainability goals
The Lufthansa Group
has always contributed to the progress of aviation and is leading the way in
the transformation of the industry. The Group has set itself ambitious climate
protection goals and is striving for a neutral CO2 balance by 2050.
Already by 2030, the Lufthansa Group wants to half its net CO2 emissions
compared to 2019 through reduction and compensation measures. The reduction
target by 2030 was validated in August 2022 by the independent Science Based
Targets Initiative (SBTi). For effective climate protection, the Lufthansa
Group relies in particular on accelerated fleet modernization, the continuous
optimization of flight operations, the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)
and offers for private travelers and companies to make air travel or the
transport of freight more sustainable. For decades, the Lufthansa Group has
repeatedly been the launch customer for new, future-oriented aircraft. More
than ten years ago, Lufthansa was the first airline worldwide to test the use
of SAF in regular flight operations. As a driver of innovation, the Lufthansa
Group equips aircraft with fuel-saving AeroSHARK film - as the first airline
group worldwide. In addition, the Lufthansa Group has actively supported global
climate and weather research for many years.
