“A precondition of your long-term success is that you endeavor to think not only of yourselves but also of your fellow human beings”. – Daniel Swarovski (1862 – 1956)
The Swarovski Spirit has been embedded in our culture for more than a century. During the early 1900s, we became an active member of our local community in Wattens, Austria, developing a vibrant culture of sports, leisure, and social activities, supporting charitable initiatives, setting up social housing, and constructing schools.
We understand that a successful business nurtures and engages a diverse workforce and creates an inclusive working environment. Every individual has the right to a sense of belonging and the ability to express themselves without judgment or prejudice. We continue to uphold these fundamental beliefs for our colleagues, our partners, and throughout society, driving impact through investing in our people-focused programs and remaining dedicated to developing our initiatives further.

We are also proud signatories of the Women’s Empowerment Principles and the UN Standards of Conduct for Business, and are members of Workplace Pride.

Our Initiatives
Employee Resource Groups
Title:
Our ERGs are voluntary employee-led groups that help make Swarovski a diverse and inclusive place to work. They create a forum for colleagues with common interests to support each other, provide networking and mentoring opportunities, and act as a valuable resource for Swarovski leadership to learn from.
We are proud to support many employee-led groups and networks within Swarovski that provide community building, awareness-raising, and shared action. For example, eMpoWer together aims to empower women at work and Pride at Swarovski supports and celebrates the LGBT+ community.

Gender Equity
Title:
As a brand with a largely female customer base, and a workforce comprised of 77% women, we are well placed to champion women’s empowerment. We strive empower women across our value chain, from those who craft our products to those who wear them. Every year we support International Women’s Day, which aims to engage our employees around women’s empowerment and inspire them to advocate for gender equity.
Additionally, we run supply-chain-focused projects with NGOs such as BSR HERproject and Raks Thai Foundation to provide support for issues including financial literacy and reproductive health.

Pride at Swarovski
Title:We are committed to celebrating and elevating the LGBTQ+ community. Our Pride-focused employee resource groups help to connect our LGBTQ+ colleagues, who regularly organize events to improve understanding of how to be a better ally. During Pride Month we aim to raise awareness about individuality, sharing the voices of collaborators such as transgender model Ariel Nicholson and fashion designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin.
We are proud signatories of the UN Free & Equal campaign and UN Standards of Conduct for Business Tackling Discrimination against LGBTQI People, and we are members of Workplace Pride.
Empowerment & Education

We will:
We will:
- Raise awareness, educate, and foster behavior change in relation to sustainability and equity issues.

Our Initiatives
倫敦藝術大學
Title:
透過跟倫敦藝術大學的長期合作關係，我們多年來一直在幫助才華橫溢的設計師在工作上思考永續發展。我們挑戰這些設計師，要他們以不同的方式思考設計所採用的材料，希望他們將新的觀點帶入職業與產業。最近，我們與倫敦時尚學院以及中央聖馬丁學院合作擴大合作關係。
我們與倫敦時尚學院合作舉辦 Swarovski 創新獎，這是一年一度針對即將畢業的時尚珠寶相關科系的大學生所舉辦的競賽。我們還在中央聖馬丁學院網站建立 Swarovski 意識設計中心 (Swarovski Conscious Design Hub)，展示研究與設計工作，向學生示範我們致力投身於永續發展的未來。

Innovate2030
Title:
Innovate2030 是由管理顧問公司 Ekipa 主辦的競賽，鼓勵學生、專業人士以及新創企業與著名機構合作，提出促進永續發展的數位創新內容。
為參與比賽，我們在 2021 年支援 Xtend 團隊，提出激勵的循環行為與重新使用二手珠寶的概念。Xtend 團隊開發的行動應用程式獲得優勝，該應用程式鼓勵顧客回收使用過的珠寶進行再利用、租用或購買過季或重製的 Swarovski 產品，以推廣循環利用並減少浪費。在 Innovate 2030 專案成功之後，我們與米蘭時尚學院有了更多想法來促進當地數位人才的循環利用。

領導力、指導和學徒制
Title:
Swarovski 一直在尋找方法來增進人與人之間的聯繫。我們認為指導是一個機會，工作同仁能夠學習、提升並運用強大專長，加速個人發展。我們相信，領導力不該只是頭銜，因此我們希望透過領導力發展組合來提供並賦予領導者能夠挑戰假設並突破界限。
我們的學徒制訓練長達四年，涵蓋 11 種不同的專業，例如：化學實驗室技術、木工和幾項工程專長。除了學習工藝之外，我們同時確保學徒為各種運作流程做好準備，體驗先進的人工智慧與虛擬實境，學習最新套裝軟體，為個人發展培養軟實力。自 1953 年計畫開始至今，我們已經訓練了來自 12 個不同國家的 1,500 多名學徒。
