Unser langes Vermächtnis der Nachhaltigkeit
Title:
Nachhaltigkeit ist seit unseren Anfängen Teil unseres Unternehmensethos, seit Daniel Swarovski in Wattens, Österreich, lokale Wasserkraft für seine revolutionäre Kristallschleifmaschine nutzte. Zudem führte er für die damalige Zeit weitreichende soziale Unterstützungsmaßnahmen ein, darunter bezahlbaren Wohnraum für Arbeiter, der Bau einer örtlichen Schule sowie die Sorge für Gesundheit, Sicherheit und Wohlbefinden. Diese visionären Grundsätze – Fairness gegenüber Gemeinschaften und Respekt vor der Umwelt – prägen unser Unternehmen bis heute.
