« Une des préconditions pour votre succès à long terme est d’essayer de penser non seulement à vous-même mais aussi aux autres. » - Daniel Swarovski (1862 - 1956)

L'Esprit Swarovski est enraciné dans notre culture depuis plus d'un siècle. Au début des années 1900, nous sommes devenus acteurs de notre communauté locale à Wattens, en Autriche, en développant une dynamique sociale vertueuse dans le domaine des sports, des loisirs et des activités sociales, en soutenant des initiatives caritatives, en créant des logements sociaux et en construisant des écoles.

Nous comprenons qu'une entreprise prospère doit encourager et mobiliser des profils diversifiés et créer un environnement de travail inclusif. Chaque individu a droit au sentiment d’appartenance et à la possibilité de s’exprimer sans jugement négatif ni préjugés. Nous continuons à défendre ces principes fondamentaux pour nos employés et collègues, pour nos partenaires et pour la société dans son ensemble, en renforçant chaque jour notre impact par des investissements dans nos programmes centrés sur l’humain.

Découvrez ci-dessous les trois piliers de notre stratégie de développement durable centrée sur l’humain : Égalité, diversité et inclusion ; empowerment et éducation ; droits et respect.

Égalité, diversité et inclusion

Nous nous engageons à :
  • Diminuer les préjugés dans notre recrutement en explorant les nouvelles pratiques de recrutement, y compris les technologies de l'IA.
  • Renforcer la diversité de nos campagnes pour inclure des personnes issues de groupes habituellement sous-représentés.
  • Promouvoir la communauté LGBTQ+ en externe et en interne, en offrant des possibilités d'éducation et de sensibilisation.

Nous sommes également fiers de figurer parmi les signataires des principes d'empowerment des femmes et des normes de conduite des Nations Unies pour les entreprises. Nous sommes aussi membres de 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

Everyone who depends on us should have the opportunity to learn and grow. We want to motivate people to limit their impact on the planet, treat others with respect, and make more conscious decisions.

We will:
  • Raise awareness, educate, and foster behavior change in relation to sustainability and equity issues.
  • Support academic institutions to drive sustainability, and promote sustainable design through donating reignited crystals.
Our Initiatives

University of the Arts London

Title:
Dank unserer langjährigen Partnerschaft mit der University of Arts London haben wir talentierte Designer dabei unterstützen können, die Nachhaltigkeit in ihrer Arbeit zu berücksichtigen. Wir fordern sie auf, anders über die Materialien nachzudenken, die sie in ihren Designs verwenden. Wir hoffen, dass sie neue Perspektiven in ihre berufliche Laufbahn und Branchen einfließen lassen. Vor Kurzem haben wir uns mit dem London College of Fashion und Central Saint Martins zusammengeschlossen, um diese Beziehungen auszubauen.

In Kooperation mit dem London College of Fashion haben wir den Swarovski Innovator Award ins Leben gerufen. Dabei handelt es sich um einen jährlichen Wettbewerb für Studierende des BA-Studiengangs Fashion Jewelry. Wir haben außerdem auf der Website von Central Saint Martins den Swarovski Conscious Design Hub eingerichtet. Dieser gilt als Schaufenster für Forschungs- und Designarbeiten – er zeigt den Studierenden, dass wir uns für eine nachhaltige Zukunft einsetzen.

Innovate2030

Title:
Innovate2030 ist ein Wettbewerb, der von der Unternehmensberatung Ekipa organisiert wird. In diesem werden Studierende, Fachleute und Start-ups dazu ermutigt, mit etablierten Organisationen zusammenzuarbeiten, um digitale Innovationen zur Förderung der Nachhaltigkeit zu erarbeiten.

Wir haben 2021 das Team Xtend als Teil des Wettbewerbs unterstützt, um Ideen zu entwickeln, die zirkuläres Verhalten unterstützen und gebrauchtem Schmuck ein zweites Leben zu schenken. Team Xtend gewann mit einer mobilen App, die den Kreislaufgedanken unterstützt und Abfall reduziert. Das funktioniert, indem die Kunden dazu anregt werden, ihren gebrauchten Schmuck zu recyceln, um ihn wiederzuverwenden, und Swarovski-Artikel der vergangenen Saison oder überarbeitete Stücke entweder zu mieten oder zu kaufen. Nach dem Erfolg des Innovate2030-Projekts haben wir ein Projekt mit dem Milano Fashion Institute ins Leben gerufen, um weitere Ideen für zirkuläre Bewegungen von talentierten Digital Natives zu fördern.

Leadership, Mentoring & Apprenticeships

Title:
At Swarovski, we are always looking for ways to increase connectivity between people. We see mentoring as an opportunity for our colleagues to learn, enhance, and apply powerful skills, and accelerate personal development. We believe that leadership doesn’t just come with a title, so through our leadership development portfolio we want to equip and empower our leaders to challenge assumptions and push the boundaries.

Our apprenticeships run for up to four years and cover 11 different specialisms, such as chemical lab technology, carpentry, and several engineering professions. As well as learning the craft of their trade, we make sure our apprentices are prepared for a variety of operational processes, experience cutting-edge AI and VR, learn the latest software packages, and develop soft skills for their personal development.​ Since 1953, when the program started, we have trained more than 1,500 apprentices from 12 different nations.

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.

Rights & Respect

It is vital that all those working throughout our value chain can be confident that their human rights are protected.

We will:

  • Respect the rights of our people and strive to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all.
  • Provide working environments and sound employment conditions in accordance with SMETA, the UN Guiding Principles, and the International Labour Organization Core Conventions.

Our Initiatives

Responsible Sourcing Initiative

RSI is a systematic, risk-based approach to assessing suppliers’ performance against our Code of Conduct. Since 2014, this has helped us to ensure safe and healthy working conditions as well as rigorous employment practices from our suppliers. Through the RSI program, we monitor supply chain labor practices and work closely with our suppliers to drive continuous improvement.
