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 managing our energy consumption sustainably:
- Implementation of an energy management system at LAT locations with high energy consumption, in line with the Energy Efficiency Act. This system helps us monitor our usage, improve efficiency, and continuously reduce energy consumption.
- Regular monitoring and maintenance of simulators and training devices to ensure safety and optimized energy use.
- Conversion of remaining hydraulic systems (used for motion) to electric systems wherever feasible and beneficial to reduce environmental impact.
- Promotion of renewable energy sources, such as the installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
- Raising awareness of energy-related topics across all areas of the company, for example, through Digital Clean-Up events and web-based training sessions.
Sustainability Meets Innovation
We view the adoption of advanced technologies as an opportunity to make our training programs more diverse, environmentally friendly, and socially sustainable.
The use of virtual reality and online modules already enables us to conduct training sessions independent of time and location. This approach helps reduce travel distances and promotes greater flexibility.
Efficient Use of Resources
- We give aircraft parts a second life by repurposing retired components such as life vests, trolleys, and galley equipment for our training mock-ups. This approach saves valuable resources while creating realistic and practical training conditions.
- We are increasingly designing our processes to be circular across all 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:
- Diversity Training: Employees learn how to leverage diversity effectively to achieve peak performance as a team.
- Cultural Sensitivity: A key focus is on intercultural collaboration, particularly in working with international crews.
- Networks and Mentoring: We promote exchange among colleagues to learn from one another and gain new perspectives. Our programs specifically support collaboration and knowledge transfer within the company—and beyond.
- Inclusion: Promoting a work environment where people with disabilities can reach their full potential—through targeted support and the removal of barriers.
Our Commitment: Growing together, regardless of age, gender, background, or physical condition.
With around 900 employees at locations in Europe and North America, our team is highly connected. Despite the geographical distances, it is important to us to foster a strong sense of community. Programs like 'Come Work With Me' allow employees to get to know different departments and gain new perspectives.

- Mental Health: Programs such as mindfulness training and resilience workshops help strengthen mental resilience.
- Physical Health: Preventive screenings and health checks help ensure long-term health.
- Sports and Exercise: Regular on-site or digital courses promote fitness and provide balance in daily life..
Through targeted programs, a strong sense of team spirit, and the opportunity to grow together, we create a corporate culture that inspires.

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.
Sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly important—not only to meet regulatory requirements but also because the interest of our stakeholders in this topic is growing. As a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, our data is incorporated into the Lufthansa Group's reporting. Starting from the 2024 financial year, this will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The project creates transparency regarding the current status and future ambitions of the Lufthansa Group on ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) topics.
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 climate change and the associated evolving market demands.
