Overview of material impacts, risks and opportunities

Suppliers and business partners in the Lufthansa Group’s value chain may negatively affect human rights, for example, through unsafe working conditions, inadequate wages or the absence of freedom of association. Failure to comply with laws may result in legal repercussions, reputational damage and penalties for the Lufthansa Group and its partners, which can lead to business losses and financial difficulties. In contrast, clear guidelines for suppliers and partners can strengthen customer confidence in the Lufthansa Group, create transparency and promote financial and operational stability. Through social dialogue and training, the Lufthansa Group can contribute to improving working conditions in the value chain. Joint awareness-raising and development measures with suppliers and partners can help ensure that workers in the value chain receive training on health and safety issues and that human rights and sustainability requirements are further integrated.
