Global management consulting firm Kearney has committed to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through partnering with Lufthansa’s Compensaid scheme. As Kearney already offsets 100% of its global business travel annually, this partnership is focused on the future: the path to reducing emissions for the aviation industry by the deployment of sustainable aviation fuel.
Since early 2020, Kearney and Lufthansa have worked with other value chain partners to develop strategies that will increase the economic feasibility of SAF. Kearney’s financial support formalises this intra-industry partnership and is a necessary step in developing this critical technology to ensure the next generation of air travel becomes carbon-neutral.
Stefan Kreuzpaintner, Chief Commercial Officer Lufthansa Airlines and SVP Sales Lufthansa Group, said: “Lufthansa Group is already number 1 in Europe in purchasing sustainable aviation fuels. With the right sustainable customer choices, we are proud to enable carbon-neutral flying for our customers. Collaborating with Lufthansa Group, Kearney now takes a further step and invests into sustainable aviation fuel – a bold step that proves the commitment to the future of carbon-neutral flying.”
Philipp Bensel, partner in Kearney’s transportation practice comments: “By partnering with Lufthansa, we are committing both time and funding to ensure the future of sustainable air travel. We know the science works – the focus is now on making it competitively priced to enable widespread use. Through our partnership with Lufthansa, we will focus on encouraging cross-industry collaboration and supporting value chains as they mature to help close that gap.”
