1900
Megalapítottuk a Swarovski Music Club és a Swarovski Cycling Club klubokat. Az eredetileg kikapcsolódási céllal létrehozott vállalati klubok rövid időn belül elérhetővé váltak a város minden lakója számára. Daniel Swarovski mindkét klub aktív tagja volt.

1908–1909
1902. július 25-én Daniel Swarovski a wattensi helyi tanács tagja lett. 1908-ban a helyi tanács élére választották, és alig egy évvel később – 1909-ben – hozzáfogott egy új vezeték építéséhez, amellyel friss vizet juttatott a faluba. 

1909
A vállalat munkavállalóinak és családjainak a faluba költözését követően a régi wattensi iskola már túl kicsi volt az összes gyermek számára. Ezért Daniel felesége, Marie Swarovski, felajánlott egy építési telket egy új iskolaépület megépítéséhez.

1959
A Swarovski immár nyolc különböző szakmai területen kínált célzott képzést, többek között a kristálymetszés terén is: Ausztriában ez az egyetlen ilyen jellegű képzés.

1960
Létrejött a „Daniel and Marie Swarovski Trust” alapítvány, amely ösztöndíjat biztosított a Tirolban élő, alacsony jövedelmű családokból származó, jó tanulmányi eredményt felmutató diákok számára.

1978
Létrehoztak egy helyi szakképző iskolát, hogy a tanoncok szilárd alapot kapjanak készségeik és képességeik megfelelő munkahelyi alkalmazásához. A Swarovskin kívül kevés vállalat rendelkezik szakképző iskolával Ausztriában.

1907
Megépült az Ausserachen, a vállalat első nagy vízerőműve. A három Pelton-turbina tiszta „Swarovski áramot” biztosított a metszőgépeknek, megvilágította a munkaterületeket, valamint Wattens és a szomszédos hegyi közösségek nagy területét is árammal látta el.

1951
Az Ausserachen vízerőművet 750 kW-os teljesítményűre korszerűsítettük.

1961
A tiszta energia iránti megnövekedett kereslet az Innerachen erőmű megépítéséhez vezetett, amely két Francis-turbinán keresztül 2200 kW-os teljesítményt biztosított.

1983
A Wattens papírgyárral együttműködve megépült a Watternbach-vízerőmű. Ez az erőmű évente átlagosan 57 GWh teljesítményre volt képes.

1984
Egy további kettős fúvókás Pelton-turbinával az Innerachen erőmű normál kapacitása éves szinten körülbelül 1,35 GWh-ra nőtt.

1995
Megkezdte működését az Alpokban a környezetbarát energiatermelés mintaprojektjének tekintett „Haneburger” erőmű. Az erőmű azóta évente körülbelül 18,5 GWh-s teljesítménnyel büszkélkedhet.

2001
Az osztrák hatóságok az összes Swarovski erőművet hivatalos tanúsítvánnyal rendelkező „ökoenergia”-termelőként ismerték el.

The first cooling tower circulation for the cooling of compressed air compressors was put into operation. This saved approximately 90% of the water necessary for cooling.

1978-1982
The Waste Water Purification plant begins operation, purifying all water leaving the factory Plant 1. A series of subsequent initiatives extended water purification to Plant 2, also extending the capability of the purification plant and dividing process water into polishing water and cutting circulation water.

1984
Swarovski imports  oil with low levels of sulphur to Germany for heating, increasing annual overheads by the equivalent of EUR 210,000 today, but reducing sulphur dioxide emissions by 60 tons. As such, the company is awarded the “Green Branch” environment prize by the Tyrol federal state government.

1990
Swarovski adopts natural gas. From now on gas replaces heating oil for heat generation and crystal melting, thus reducing respective CO2 emissions by 30%.
