1900
Ustanovitev glasbenega kluba Swarovski in kolesarskega kluba Swarovski. Izvorno sta ustanovljena kot prostočasni aktivnosti podjetja, vendar se naglo razvijeta v vsem dostopna kluba v mestu. Daniel Swarovski je aktivni član obeh klubov.

1908-1909
25. julija 1902 postane Daniel Swarovski član lokalnega sveta Wattensa. Leta 1908 je izvoljen za vodjo lokalnega sveta in samo leto kasneje, leta 1909, prične z izgradnjo novega vodovoda, s katerim začne v vas dotekati sveža voda. 

1909
S prihodom številnih delavcev in njihovih družin postane stara šola v Wattensu premajhna za vse otroke. Marie Swarovski, Danielova žena, donira gradbeno zemljišče za izgradnjo novega šolskega poslopja.

1959
Swarovski ponuja usmerjene programe usposabljanj, ki pokrivajo osem različnih poklicnih področij, vključno s programom rezanja kristala, edinim tovrstnim v Avstriji.

1960
Ustanovljen je sklad “The Daniel and Marie Swarovski Trust”, ki zagotavlja štipendije za študente z najvišjimi ocenami in tiste, ki prihajajo iz socialno šibkih družin s Tirolske.

1978
Na kraju samem se formira "Vocational College", ki daje vajeništvu trdno osnovo pri implementiranju veščin in talentov na delovna mesta. Swarovski je eno redkih podjetij v Avstriji s takšno šolo.

1907
Zgrajen je Ausserachen, naša prva večja hidroelektrarna. Tri Peltonove turbine zagotavljajo čisto „energijo Swarovski“, potrebno za rezalne naprave, razsvetljavo delovnih prostorov in tudi večjih predelov Wattensa in skupnosti v sosednjih gorah.

1951
Hidroelektrarna Ausserachen je nadgrajena, tako da lahko zagotovi 760 KW energije.

1961
Zaradi povečanih potreb po čisti energiji je zgrajena elektrarna Innerachen z donosom 2.200 KW, ki ga zagotavljata dve Francisovi turbini.

1983
V sodelovanju s tovarno papirja v Wattensu je zgrajena hidroelektrarna Wattenbach. Elektrarna proizvede v povprečju 57 GWh na leto.

1984
Z dodatno Peltonovo turbino z dvojno šobo se standardna zmogljivost elektrarne Innerachen poveča na okrog 1,35 GWh letno.

1995
Z delovanjem prične elektrarna “Haneburger”, ki velja za vzorčni model okolju prijazne proizvodnje energije v Alpah. Doslej je proizvedla okrog 18,5 GWh letno.

2001
Vse elektrarne Swarovski so uradno priznane s strani avstrijskih oblasti kot proizvajalke certificirane "ekološke energije".
 

1947
Postavitev temeljnega kamna za nove nastanitve v lasti podjetja na hribu “Kreuzbichl” v bližini Wattensa. Nastanitve so dograjene leta 1950. Do takrat je realiziranih še precej drugih nastanitvenih projektov.

1948
Ustanovljena je pisarna za socialno varstvo v lasti podjetja, ki obravnava socialno in finančno problematiko zaposlenih. Politika našega podjetja je, da ponudimo stanovanjski kredit z nizko obrestno mero, materialno pomoč pri stanovanjski gradnji in finančno podporo v izrednih primerih.

1951
Prične in konča se izgradnja dveh rezidenčnih kompleksov za zaposlene podjetja Swarovski Optik v Absamu in za zaposlene podjetja Swarovski v Voldersu v Avstriji.

Izgradnja dodatnega rezidenčnega kompleksa za zaposlene podjetja Swarovski v avstrijskem Fritzensu se prične in tudi zaključi.

1970
Z obratovanjem prične prvi hladilni stolp s krožno vodo za hlajenje kompresorjev na stisnjen zrak. To prihrani okrog 90 % vode, potrebne za hlajenje.

1978-1982
Z delovanjem prične čistilna naprava, ki prečisti vso iztekajoče se vodo iz tovarne Obrat 1. Z nizom nadaljnjih tovrstnih pobud se razširi proces čiščenja vode tudi na Obrat 2, vključno z razširitvijo zmogljivosti čistilne naprave in z delitvijo procesnih voda na vodo za poliranje in krožno vodo za rezanje.

1984
Podjetje Swarovski v Nemčijo uvaža kurilno olje z nizko vsebnostjo žvepla, pri čemer povečuje letne režijske stroške v današnji protivrednosti 210.000 EUR, a obenem znižuje emisije žveplovega dioksida za 60 ton. Prav zato je podjetje prejemnik okoljske nagrade “Green Branch”, ki jo podeljuje zvezna vlada Tirolske.

1990
Podjetje Swarovski uvaja uporabo naravnega plina. Odslej plin nadomešča kurilno olje pri ogrevanju in pri taljenju kristalov, kar občutno zniža emisije CO2, do 30 %.

1996
Oddelek za proizvodnjo stekla je opremljen z novimi specializiranimi filtri za prah in novim sistemom za odvajanje plinov. Vse to zmanjšuje emisije, preprečuje onesnaževanje in znižuje zdravstvena tveganja zaposlenih občutno pod zakonsko dovoljene vrednosti.
