MTU Aero Engines has reaffirmed its commitment to a more sustainable future for aviation at a time characterised by uncertainties and challenges, according to its 2023 Sustainability Report.
The report, available online at https://sustainability.mtu.de/en/ – focuses on the six action areas of MTU’s sustainability strategy: product, production & maintenance, corporate governance, employees, procurement and society.
“For us, standing still means going backwards. We tackle challenges with the motivation to find effective solutions, though we are aware that these will certainly not always be straightforward,” emphasised Lars Wagner, CEO and chief sustainability officer at MTU.
A statement from MTU explained the plan: “With its ambitious Claire (Clean Air Engine) technology roadmap, MTU aims to shape the future of aviation and enable climate-neutral flying.
“The innovations the company is working on are therefore comprehensive and far-reaching. While every aircraft flies on kerosene today, there will no longer be just one solution for the future. The propulsion technologies will differ depending on the application. This is why MTU is working on various approaches as part of Claire – ranging from evolutionary developments to revolutionary concepts.
