Our Long Legacy of Sustainability

Title:
Since 1895 we have been committed to philanthropy and sustainability,
continuously investing to preserve the environment and to positively impact global and local communities.

1895

Daniel's Vision

Daniel Swarovski establishes a crystal-cutting factory in Wattens (Austrian Tyrol) to take advantage of local renewable energy (hydroelectricity) for the grinding processes he had patented. Swarovski's vision was to make "a diamond for everyone" by making crystals affordable.

社會責任

Title:

1900
創立 Swarovski 音樂俱樂部和 Swarovski 自行車俱樂部。原本只是屬於公司活動的社團,不久發展為歡迎其他人參加的俱樂部。Daniel Swarovski 是這兩個俱樂部裡的活躍成員。

1908-1909
1902 年 7 月 25 日,Daniel Swarovski 成為瓦滕斯地方議會的一員。1908 年,他被推選為地方議會議長,僅一年之後,也就是 1909 年,他便開始設立新的管路,為當地村莊帶來活水泉源。 

1909
在許多工程公司的員工和他們的眷屬來到之後,瓦滕斯原來的學校已無法容納所有的孩童。Daniel 的老婆 Marie Swarovski,捐贈了建築用地,以做為新的校舍。

1959
Swarovski 提供八種專業領域的培訓課程,其中包括水晶切割:那是奧地利獨一無二的專業科目。

1960
成立「The Daniel and Marie Swarovski Trust」,為提洛爾區域來自低收入家庭而成績良好的學生提供獎學金。

1978
成立與工廠合作的技術學院,學生可在工廠實地練習技能和接受能力測驗,確保培訓出紮實的基礎。Swarovski 是奧地利少數幾家設立這種技術學院的公司。

利用水力發電

Title:

1907
公司建立了第一座大型的水力發電廠──Ausserachen。共有三台佩爾頓式水輪機為 Swarovski 提供乾淨能源,用於切割機器,並為工作區域,以及瓦滕斯和附近山區提供提供照明能源。

1951
升級 Ausserachen 水力發電廠,可提供 750 千瓦 (KW) 輸出功率。

1961
由於對乾淨能源的需求日增,我們建立了 Innerachen 發電廠,擁有兩台法蘭西斯式水輪機,可提供 2200 千瓦 (KW) 輸出功率。

1983
與瓦滕斯紙廠共同合作,建立了 Wattenbach 水力發電廠。此發電廠每年平均可提供 57 百萬千瓦輸出功率。

1984
Innerachen 發電廠增加了一台雙噴嘴佩爾頓式水輪機,每年的標準發電量增加至 1.35 百萬千瓦輸出功率。

1995
為在阿爾卑斯山區示範對環境友善的能源生產專案,Haneburger 發電站開始運作。此發電站每年提供約 18.5 百萬千瓦輸出功率。

2001
所有 Swarovski 發電廠都經過奧地利官方認可,是提供環保能源的電廠。
 

讓每個人都有一個家

Title:

1947
新的公司住房供給落腳於 Kreuzbichl (靠近瓦滕斯的山丘)。建築於 1950 完工。直到今天,仍在持續新增住房供給的專案。

1948
成立了屬於公司的福利辦公室,處理員工的社交和財務問題。我們的住房供給政策提供低利率房屋借貸、裝潢補助和緊急財務救助。

1951
為奧地利的阿布薩姆和福爾德爾斯兩地的 Swarovski 員工提供綜合住宅式的房屋,於同年開始建造並完工。

1952
為奧地利的弗里岑斯市鎮的 Swarovski 員工提供其他的綜合住宅式的房屋,於同年開始建造並完工。

2005
舉行為員工建立的 58 連棟房屋的開幕典禮。此專案協助員工可用較低的價格租用或購買公司提供的住房。

寶貴資源

Title:

1970
第一座用來冷卻空氣壓縮機的冷卻循環塔,在此時開始運作。這為冷卻程序節省了大約 90% 的水。

1978-1982
污水淨化處理廠開始運作,淨化一號廠房所有排出的水。接下來將水導至二號廠房,進行一連串的水質淨化,擴大淨化功能,將製程用水分為用於研磨的水和用於切割循環的水。

更乾淨的空氣

Title:

1984
Swarovski 進口含硫量低的燃料油到德國,用於加熱程序。此舉雖增加了每年的經常費用,相當於今天的 21 萬歐元,但減少了 60 噸的二氧化硫排放量。因此,我們獲得了由提洛爾聯邦政府頒發的「Green Branch」環保獎項。

1990
Swarovski 採用天然氣。從這個時候開始,在加熱和熔化水晶時,天然氣取代了燃料油,減少了 30% 的二氧化碳排放量。

1996
玻璃成型部門 (Glass Formation Department) 配備全新專業的粉塵過濾器和萃取系統。這也減少了氣體排放量,避免空氣污染和工作人員在遠超出法律標準的環境下工作,保障他們的健康。

Swarovski 水資源學校

Title:

2000
Swarovski 在奧地利的高地陶恩國家公園開設第一所水資源學校,位於多瑙河盆地區域。導入教育計畫,教育孩童和青少年關於水資源短缺的重要性。

2006
Swarovski 在印度的奧拉德奧國家公園 (屬於拉賈斯坦邦) 開設第一所奧地利以外的水資源學校,位在恆河盆地。

2008
Swarovski 在中國長江沿岸六個地區和非洲烏干達的卡農古區域中的 20 個社區開設水資源學校。

2014
在巴西北方的帕拉州開設水資源學校,透過學校和社區參與的學習方式,教導當地居民關於水資源和環保的知識。

2016
與不同組織啟動三個實驗性專案,讓當地的水資源受到重視。NGRREC:密西西比;Raks Thai Foundation:湄南河;Fundação Amazonas Sustentável:亞馬遜。

2017
Swarovski 與 NGO 夥伴攜手合作,在 Swarovski 水資源網站上發布全球版的「關於河流改變的知識點滴」(Drops of Knowledge for Rivers of Change) 教學和學習課程。

2018
在 Netflix 上推出關於水資源學校的記錄片,內容是關於住在全球六大主要河流區域的幾位年輕女學生,以及 Swarovski 水資源學校所做的努力。

2021
Swarovski 水資源學校與 Earthwatch Australia 和 Kids Teaching Kids 合作,在澳洲的雪梨推出實驗性專案。這是水資源學校重要的里程碑,那代表全球六大洲現在皆設立有水資源學校。

Swarovski Crystal Innovations

Title:

2003
Swarovski obtains the OEKO-Tex 100 certification for  crystals components, confirming the human and ecological safety of both products and production facilities.

2007
Launch of the "CLEAR" program, comprised of a set of criteria structured by product segment, displaying all relevant restricted and prohibited substances. This represents an important part of all product specifications.

Advanced Crystal is strengthened to feature pioneering formulas that meet the most stringent environmental standards applicable. Lead levels are further reduced to a maximum of 40 parts-per-million, becoming an industry leader in lead-free* crystal.

Sustainable Architecture

Title:

2010
The newly developed office (Mannedorf) building in Switzerland meets the Swiss Minergie (low-energy) standard. This is achieved through the integrated structuring of the façade, building services engineering, and thermo-active systems. In particular, requirements for air tightness, daylight use, heating, thermal insulation, heat absorbing glass, heat distribution, and controlled ventilation were fulfilled.

2018
Inauguration and opening of the "Manufaktur" (along with "Campus 311"), our state-of-the-art, sustainably designed rapid-prototyping facility. The design of this 7,000m2 space - a collaboration with Norwegian architects from Snøhetta - is intended to foster creativity and immagination. The Manufaktur building demonstrates our commitment to sustainable innovation by achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification.

Swarovski Foundation

Title:

2013
The Swarovski Foundation is established, building on five generations of philanthropy and charitable giving.

2017
The Swarovski Foundation Centre for Learning launches at the Design Museum, providing space for design education and bringing together up to 40,000 learners each year.

2022
Made with Swarovski reignited crystals and 90% recycled base metal, the Fluenta family (launched in FW22) is our first sustainability-minded collection. It repurposes precious resources instead of consuming new raw materials, resulting in a reduced CO2 and environmental footprint.

The Power of the Sun

Title:

2014
A solar rooftop hot water system is installed at our factory in Pune, India.

2018
1400 kWp photovoltaic installation in Marigot Thailand

Swarovski publishes a pioneering study in partnership with Trucost (part of S&P Global), showing the impact that Swarovski crystal has on the environment. The results reveal that Swarovski crystal has a lower environmental cost than other jewelry materials.

2021
Swarovski conducts our first complete environmental Life Cycle Assessement covering 5 of our most sold articles. The results of the LCA pinpoint the hotspots that we have to address in order to reduce negative impact on the environment.

A New Beginning

Title:
2020
Swarovski initiates the largest transformation ever for our business, fully integrating sustainability within the Swarovski Crystal Business. This allowed us to prepare for the challenges of the future and to strengthen our commitment towards our sustainability vision, strategy and programs.

Mitigating Global Warming

Title:

2021
Swarovski joins the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to follow a verified greenhouse gas reduction approach and commits to reducing absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 47% and scope 3 emissions by 28%, by 2030. This represents a substantial change in the way our vertically integrated business operates.

2022
As of this year, all our Asian manufacturing sites are sourcing 100% renewable electricity from photovoltaic plants and wind farms in the region, through Renewable Energy Certificates. This effort allows us to tangibly reduce our Scope 2 emissions.

Disclosing Our Impact & Progress

Title:
2022
As part of our commitment towards increased transparency on our economic, environmental and social impacts, we switch from biennal to annual sustainability reporting.
