Energy plays a central role for us in the field of environmental responsibility.
It is not only used as fuel for pilot training in the air but also powers over 70 predominantly electrically operated training devices on the ground. We are committed to taking responsibility for analysing energy consumption, using energy more efficiently and continuously reducing consumption.
- Implementation of an energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001 at selected LAT locations, in line with the Energy Efficiency Act. This supports us in monitoring our energy use, improving efficiency, and continuously reducing consumption.
- Make the benefits of energy management available to all LAT sites, even without legal requirements or ISO certification.
- Regular monitoring and maintenance of all training equipment and facilities to ensure both safety and optimized energy use.
- Conversion of remaining hydraulic motion systems in training devices to electric systems wherever possible and appropriate, in order to reduce the systems’ energy requirements and resource consumption.
-
Review and, where appropriate, implementation of renewable energy solutions at suitable locations, such as the installation of photovoltaic systems and heat pumps. - Raising awareness of energy-related topics across all areas of the company, for example through monthly employee awareness campaigns, clean-up events and web-based training on energy management.
Innovation for digital and resource-efficient training formats
We see the adoption of advanced technologies as an opportunity to make our training programmes more diverse, resource-efficient, flexible and accessible.
The use of virtual reality and online modules already enables us to deliver training independently of time and location. Depending on the training format, this can help avoid or reduce travel and promote greater flexibility.
Efficient use of resources
-
We give aircraft parts a second life by reusing retired components, such as life vests, trolleys and onboard galley equipment, in our training mock-ups. This allows us to use existing components for longer, reduce the need for new materials and, at the same time, create realistic and practical training conditions.
-
We are making our processes more circular in selected areas, for example by using reusable packaging and practical refill options.
We foster a corporate culture that values and promotes the uniqueness of every individual—both among our employees and in our training with clients. Particularly in interactions with crews from around the world, it becomes clear that the collaboration of diverse perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds is a valuable factor for success:

In our business environment, we are committed to the highest standards and strict adherence to compliance requirements. Our company-wide Code of Conduct serves as a guide for responsible behavior for all stakeholders. To actively promote these standards, we rely on regular and mandatory compliance training to strengthen awareness of legal and ethical requirements. Additionally, our Ombudsman system provides a trusted point of contact for reporting violations or concerns.
ESG reporting is becoming increasingly important — not only in order to meet regulatory requirements, but also because our stakeholders’ interest in this topic is growing. As a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, our data is incorporated into the Lufthansa Group’s reporting. Since the 2024 financial year, this reporting has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The project creates transparency regarding the status quo, planned measures and the Lufthansa Group’s goals.
Effective risk management is an essential part of our corporate governance and helps us achieve our ESG goals. We aim to focus on ESG-related risks, such as anthropogenic climate change and the associated evolving market demands.
