“Una condición previa para tener éxito a largo plazo es esforzarse en pensar no solo en uno mismo, sino también en los demás.” – Daniel Swarovski (1862-1956)
El espíritu de Swarovski está presente en nuestra cultura desde hace más de un siglo. A principios del siglo XX, nos convertimos en un socio activo de nuestra comunidad local en Wattens, Austria, al desarrollar una cultura rica en deportes, ocio y actividades sociales, y además, apoyamos iniciativas benéficas y construimos viviendas sociales y colegios.
Sabemos que una empresa que triunfa fomenta y contrata a una plantilla diversa, y crea un entorno de trabajo inclusivo. Todas las personas tienen el derecho de sentirse queridas, así como de tener la posibilidad de expresarse sin juicios ni prejuicios. Seguimos defendiendo estas creencias tan fundamentales para nuestros compañeros, nuestros socios y toda la sociedad, causando repercusiones mediante inversiones en nuestros programas que se centran en las personas y dedicándonos a desarrollar aún más nuestras iniciativas.
Descubre más acerca de los tres pilares de nuestra estrategia de sostenibilidad que se centra en las personas: Igualdad, diversidad e inclusión, formación y educación, y derechos y respeto.
Igualdad, diversidad e inclusión
Nos encargamos de:
- Reducir los prejuicios en nuestra contratación a través del descubrimiento de las prácticas de contratación, incluida la tecnología de IA.
- Aumentar la diversidad de nuestras campañas para incluir a personas de los grupos menos favorecidos.
- Celebrar la comunidad LGBTQ+ tanto de manera externa como interna ofreciendo oportunidades de educación y concienciación.
También estamos orgullosos de haber firmado los Principios de empoderamiento de la mujer y las Normas de conducta para empresas de la ONU, además somos miembros 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:
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 Jewelry 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 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.
Führungskompetenz, Mentoring und Lehrlingsausbildung
Title:
Bei Swarovski suchen wir stets neue Wege, um die Vernetzung zwischen Menschen zu verbessern. Wir sehen das Mentoring als eine Möglichkeit für unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen, um wertvolle Fähigkeiten zu erlernen, zu verbessern und anzuwenden. Die persönliche Entwicklung soll auch beschleunigt werden. Eine Führungskraft hat nicht nur einen Titel, sondern soll unserer Meinung nach auch vorgefertige Annahmen in Frage stellen sowie Grenzen überschreiten. Unser Portfolio zur Entwicklung von Führungskräften soll behilflich sein, um Führungskräfte darin zu bestärken.
Unsere Ausbildungsgänge dauern bis zu vier Jahre und umfassen 11 unterschiedliche Spezialgebiete, darunter Chemielabortechnik, Tischlerei und mehrere technische Berufe. Wir stellen sicher, dass unsere Lehrlinge nicht nur das Handwerk erlernen, sondern auch für eine Vielzahl von betrieblichen Prozessen vorbereitet werden. Sie werden modernste KI und VR kennenlernen, die neuesten Softwarepakete erlernen und soziale Kompetenzen für ihre persönliche Entwicklung ausbauen. Seit 1953, als das Programm begann, haben wir mehr als 1.500 Lehrlinge aus 12 unterschiedlichen Ländern ausgebildet.
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.
