CLOUD TRANSFORMATION
Lufthansa Group ’ s digital journey is also having a significant contribution to meeting the organisation ’ s sustainability goals . The group is one of the leading players and is setting the agenda when it comes to sustainability , with the target to be net carbon neutral by 2050 .
“ We are constantly renewing our fleet with more modern , efficient aircraft , which are also more fuel efficient , and more energy efficient ,” Rastogi comments . “ We are continuously investing in research and implementation of sustainable aviation fuels . We have established the Cleantech Hub , a platform that is driving more than 80 projects in this space . And to our own customers , we are continuously offering more and more sustainable products on our digital platforms .”
“ Digital initiatives contribute a lot to sustainability . If I take the cloud as an example , the cloud allows us to use resources more efficiently and in a more optimised manner .”
As Rastogi explains , Lufthansa Group works hand-in-hand with cloud providers who also have very ambitious goals in regard to sustainability , with more fuel-efficient and more energy-efficient data centres .
“ The best part I like about cloud is it offers a lot of transparency in various sustainability dimensions , especially in terms of what kind of services you consume and how it directly translates into carbon footprints ,” he comments . “ So that generates a lot of interesting and useful information .”
