Translation of "Umweltvorsorge" in English

Economic growth without preventive measures and environmental protection measures would not be socially acceptable.

You can also keep an eye on off­peak consumption ­energy may cost less at night, but its environmental impact is just the same.

As long ago as 1996, the Executive Board approved Group-wide guidelines for environmental care.

L'Unite Hermetique compressors are products created with special care for the environment.

In 1996 the aviation group adopted Envi- ronmental Guidelines to rmly anchor its principles concerning environmental care.

Suppliers must take these standards and principles into account as much as the Group’s environmental guidelines.

Suppliers must also observe the Lufthansa Group’s Environ- mental Protection Guidelines.

Environmental protection must become the watchword both for management, which must exercise firmer control over the industrial use and processing of materials, and workers, who must carry out their tasks in the same spirit.

This means that public bodies (at all levels) must take responsibility for environmental protection and preventive environmental measures.

This means that public bodies (at all levels) will have to accept responsibility for protecting the environment and for taking preventive action in the environmental field.

There must be a dynamic approach which takes account of the new environmental-protection needs and of the new productive and ecological management methods, the new technologies and new information and training services implicit in the shift to sustainable development.

Economic growth which did not go hand in hand with environmental conservation and preventive measures would not be acceptable from a social point of view (No. 4, point 2.3 of the ESC's interim evaluation of the Fifth Action Programme on the Environment of 24/25 October 1995).

Central to this is a concern to make long-term provision for the environment, in order to prevent lasting environmental damage and to preserve natural resources for future generations.

These environmental specialists, working in one department of a firm but taking a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental problems, could in this way contribute to the prevention of environmental damage without thereby less ening the responsibility of individuals.

These guidelines, which are stringent for all employees and Group locations, are to ensure that all Lufthansa companies consistently pursue the shared goal of environmental protection and continuously improve environmental care.

For these reasons, we continuously improve our measures to safeguard the climate and the environment, maintain responsible and fair relations with our employees, and as a company actively engage in numerous social concerns.

In this context, we are also analyzing if it would make sense to implement further central control parameters at the Group level and to interlink environmental care even more strongly with the Group’s strategy.

Environmental protection remains one of the Lufthansa Group's key corporate objectives in spite of the diffi cult parameters, and is something that we are pursuing in perfect harmony with our quality ethos.

The German Federal Environment Foundation is the main foundation in Germany for the support of application-oriented projects in the field of environmental precautions, research, education and environmental technology.

We support the principles of environmental precautions by avoiding the use of materials and processes harmful for environment and health if there are alternatives.

The company actively cares for the environment and is committed to interacting with nature in a responsible manner – in harmony with environment-related laws and standards.

The purpose of an environmental impact assessment as a dependent part of an administrative procedure is to implement effective environmental precautions within the framework of specific projects.

Solutions for existing environmental problems as well as matters of environmental precaution, especially regarding production methods in the industry, will be crucial.

The protection of our waters from pollution is one of the most pressing objectives of precautionary environmental protection.

We are convinced that the achievement of the aims of the environmental policy included in our mission will contribute to the consolidation of the company's high position in the market and its good name. It will increase our credibility to partners, and give more satisfaction to clients who buy our products because they associate the company with the highest quality and care for the natural environment.

Moreover, the Lufthansa Group cooperates with scientific and research institutions to further optimize environmental protection on the basis of sound data and facts.
