Un riche héritage en matière de durabilité
Title:
La durabilité s’inscrit dans les valeurs de notre entreprise dès l’origine, lorsque Daniel Swarovski a utilisé l’énergie hydroélectrique locale pour alimenter sa machine novatrice de taille de cristal à Wattens, en Autriche. Il a également mis en place un accompagnement social avant-gardiste pour son époque, en offrant des logements accessibles aux employés, en construisant une école de proximité et en veillant à leur santé, leur sécurité et leur bien-être. Ces principes précurseurs d’équité envers les communautés et de préservation de l’environnement continuent de guider notre entreprise aujourd’hui.

Os nossos cristais mais sustentáveis
A gama Swarovski ReCreated™ Crystals é lançada. Os nossos cristais mais sustentáveis até à data são feitos de fragmentos de vidro que ocorrem durante o processo de fabrico. Os fragmentos são refundidos para formar cristais em novas cores. Este método utiliza, pelo menos, 40% menos recursos naturais em comparação com os nossos cristais padrão.
Agir de forma responsável tem estado enraizado nos nossos valores desde 1895.
