In September 2004 Lufthansa adopted a compliance programme. Essential building blocks are competition compliance, capital market compliance and integrity compliance.

Competition compliance serves to familiarise employees with the relevant provisions of cartel legislation in order to minimise or rule out cartel risks for Lufthansa.

Capital market compliance serves the purpose of giving employees an overview of statutory regulations that govern the capital market, such as those that relate to insider trading or to ad hoc publicity in order to ensure that neither Lufthansa nor its employees are guilty of breaches of the law.

This programme documents Lufthansa’s fundamental attitude toward compliance with legal requirements in commercial dealings. The commitment undertaken by Lufthansa and its employees to behave in a corruption-free and ethical manner is derived from applicable law, the compliance guidelines and Lufthansa’s membership of relevant national and international organisations.
