Daniels visie

Daniel Swarovski richt een kristalslijpfabriek op in Wattens (Oostenrijks Tirol) om gebruik te maken van de lokale hernieuwbare energie (waterkracht) voor de slijpprocessen die hij had gepatenteerd. De droom van Swarovski was ‘een diamant voor iedereen’ te creëren door kristallen betaalbaar te maken.

Maatschappelijk verantwoord

Title:

1900
De Swarovski Music Club en de Swarovski Cycling Club worden opgericht. De clubs waren oorspronkelijk opgericht voor bedrijfsactiviteiten, maar werden snel daarna voor iedereen toegankelijk. Daniel Swarovski was actief lid van beide clubs.

Op 25 juli 1902 wordt Daniel Swarovski lid van de lokale gemeenteraad van Wattens. In 1908 wordt hij verkozen tot hoofd van de lokale gemeenteraad en slechts een jaar later, in 1909, begon hij de bouw van een nieuwe pijplijn die water aan het dorp leverde.

As such, the company is awarded the “Green Branch” environment prize by the Tyrol federal state government.

1990
Swarovski adopts natural gas. From now on gas replaces heating oil for heat generation and crystal melting, thus reducing respective CO2 emissions by 30%.
