“A precondition of your long-term success is that you endeavour 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 judgement 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.

Our Initiatives
Les groupes de ressources
Title:
Nos groupes de ressources sont des groupes volontaires dirigés par des employés qui contribuent à faire de Swarovski un lieu de travail divers et inclusif. Ils créent un véritable forum pour les salariés aux intérêts communs afin de favoriser la solidarité, le soutien mutuel, et offrent ainsi des possibilités de réseautage et de mentorat.
Nous sommes fiers de soutenir de nombreux groupes et réseaux dirigés par des employés au sein de Swarovski ; ils contribuent ensemble et chaque jour au renforcement de la communauté, à la sensibilisation de tous et à l'action commune. Citons par exemple eMpoWer Together qui vise à renforcer l'autonomie des femmes au travail et Pride at Swarovski qui soutient et valorise la communauté LGBT+.

Égalité des genres
Title:
En tant que marque dont le public cible se compose majoritairement de femmes et dont les équipes sont à 77 % féminines, nous sommes bien placés pour soutenir l’émancipation de la femme, dans la vie civile et professionnelle. Nous nous efforçons de soutenir les femmes sur toute notre chaîne de valeur, de celles qui fabriquent nos produits à celles qui les portent. Chaque année, nous soutenons ainsi la Journée internationale des droits des femmes, avec pour but d’impliquer nos équipes dans l’émancipation des femmes et de les inspirer à défendre l’égalité des genres.
Nous menons par ailleurs des projets centrés sur la chaîne d’approvisionnement avec des ONG telles que BSR HERproject et la Fondation Raks Thai, afin d’apporter notre soutien dans des domaines tels que l’éducation financière ou la santé sexuelle.

La Pride chez Swarovski
Title:Nous nous engageons à désinvisibiliser et à célébrer haut et fort la communauté LGBTQ+. Nos groupes de soutien aident à mettre en lumière nos collègues LGBTQ+ qui organisent régulièrement des événements pour mieux comprendre comment soutenir leurs actions et leurs causes. Pendant le mois des fiertés, nous tenons à sensibiliser à l'individualité, en célébrant et en partageant les voix de collaborateurs à l’instar récemment du mannequin transgenre Ariel Nicholson ou du créateur de mode Ludovic de Saint Sernin.
Nous sommes fiers d'être signataires de la campagne «∘Libres et égaux∘» des Nations Unies ainsi que des normes de conduite de l’ONU pour les entreprises luttant contre la discrimination à l'égard des personnes LGBTI. Nous sommes également membres de Workplace Pride.
Empowerment et Éducation
Chacun doit avoir la possibilité d'apprendre et de se développer. Nous voulons motiver les gens à limiter leur impact sur la planète, à traiter les autres avec respect et à prendre des décisions plus conscientes du monde qui les entoure.
Nous nous engageons à :
Nous nous engageons à :
- Sensibiliser, éduquer et promouvoir les changements de comportement liés aux questions de durabilité et d'égalité.
- Soutenir les institutions académiques afin de favoriser la durabilité et promouvoir la conception durable en faisant don de cristaux ravivés.
Nos initiatives
University of the Arts London
Title:
Through our longstanding partnership with the University of the Arts London, we have been helping talented designers to consider sustainability in their work for years. We challenge them to think differently about the materials they incorporate into their designs and hope they will carry new perspectives with them into their careers and industries. Recently, we have partnered with the London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins to expand this relationship.
In partnership with the London College of Fashion we run the Swarovski Innovator Award, an annual competition for final year BA Fashion Jewellery students. We also established the Swarovski Conscious Design Hub on the Central Saint Martins website, acting as a showcase for research and design work and demonstrating to students that we are committed to a sustainable future.

Innovate2030
Title:
Innovate2030 is a competition organized by management consultancy Ekipa which encourages students, professionals, and start-ups to collaborate with established organizations to come up with digital innovations that promote sustainability.
We supported Team Xtend in 2021 as part of the competition to develop ideas for incentivizing circular behaviours and re-purposing pre-loved jewellery. Team Xtend won with their mobile app that promotes circularity and reduces waste by encouraging customers to recycle their used jewellery for repurposing, and to either rent or purchase previous season or re-worked Swarovski items. Following the success of the Innovate2030 project, we ran a project with the Milano Fashion Institute to elicit more ideas for promoting circularity from talented digital natives.

The Tent Partnership for Refugees
Title:
Tent is a non-profit organization launched in 2016 to mobilize the global business community to include refugees. Today, it is a network of over 200 major companies committed to integrating refugees into their host communities.
In November 2021, we became a member of the program and committed to mentoring 50 refugee women over three years, beginning in Switzerland in early 2022. The goal of the mentorship program is to upskill the women and give them the best possible chance of finding employment. The program focuses on career development and professional advancement and intends to equip refugee women with practical skills and knowledge for the job market, including improving their CVs and social media profiles, explaining the recruitment processes of their host country, and addressing potential cultural differences in the workplace.
