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.

La vision de Daniel

Our Most Sustainable Crystals
The Swarovski ReCreated™ Crystals range launches. Our most sustainable crystals to date are made from breakages that occur during the manufacturing process. The fragments are remelted to form crystals in new colours. This method uses at least 40% fewer natural resources compared to our standard crystals.
Acting responsibly has been embedded in our values since 1895.
