Quality and Social Responsibility

Why we care more

Lufthansa City Center gives great consideration to the future of the company and its workforce. As the only global travel agency chain that has its headquarters and base in Germany, we are continually setting standards in many areas. Therefore, we have high expectations of ourselves when it comes to corporate social responsibility - i.e. ensuring we shape a responsible course for the future. Lufthansa City Center Headquarters is committed to making environmental protection an integral part of its business activities. Therefore, minimizing our environmental impact and improving our environmental service are at the forefront of our operations.

Lufthansa City Center plays an active role in various corporate social sustainability initiatives. Through these memberships we can raise awareness on sustainability issues among industry partners and institutions:

Corporate Social Responsibility

Our future rests on the performance and personality of our staff. We value this asset and look after it with career opportunities for young people that are fit for the future. We also offer a broad range of training and professional development measures which ensure the growth of our quality brand.
