Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility is of particular importance to Condor. All Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives are centralized under the organization of ConTribute. Colleagues of different departments are involved with various charitable projects. We focus on children in poverty, natural disasters, environmentally sustainable travelling, as well as cultural exchange.

Condor also emphasizes on fuel economy: On average, Condor aircrafts use less than three liters per passenger and 100 kilometers. Newly developed and aerodynamic Winglets achieve kerosene savings of up to five percent per aircraft. Calculating the ideal speed, the shortest route and a reduced weight on board through lighter service trolleys, also increase fuel economy. Additionally, setting an optimal center of mass on the aircraft and providing pilots with Information about fuel efficiency for individual routes, leads to further kerosene savings.

Condor has recently has been awarded as ‘very strong’ for its ‘sustainable engagement’ by magazines FOCUS and FOCUS Money. The award is based on a representative survey and evaluates the ecological and economic responsible actions by companies.
