In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Deutsche Lufthansa has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method.a
In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported 13,734,041 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Deutsche Lufthansa includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported total Scope 3 emissions of 13,734,041 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Deutsche Lufthansa's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 29.7%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Deutsche Lufthansa's Scope 3 emissions increased by 36.48%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.ab
In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 29,159,239 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 39,107 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 745.62 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 745.62 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 830.79, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa ranked 9 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Deutsche Lufthansa is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported a total carbon footprint of 42,942,008 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 16.14% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
