“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.

Nuestras iniciativas
Grupos de recursos para empleados
Title:
Nuestros Grupos de Recursos para Empleados (ERG) son grupos voluntarios dirigidos por los empleados que ayudan a hacer que Swarovski sea un lugar de trabajo diverso e inclusivo. Han creado un foro para que los compañeros que tengan intereses comunes se apoyen mutuamente, ofrecen oportunidades de “networking” (hacer contactos) y tutoría, y además son un valioso recurso del que pueden aprender los directivos de Swarovski.
Estamos orgullosos de apoyar a muchos grupos y redes dirigidos por los empleados dentro de Swarovski que se encargan de desarrollar la comunidad, la concienciación y las acciones compartidas. Por ejemplo, eMpoWer together tiene como objetivo empoderar a las mujeres en el trabajo y Pride en Swarovski apoya y celebra a la comunidad LGBT+.

Igualdad de género
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

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 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 behaviors and re-purposing pre-loved jewelry. Team Xtend won with their mobile app that promotes circularity and reduces waste by encouraging customers to recycle their used jewelry 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.

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.
