“Un presupposto del tuo successo a lungo termine è sforzarti di non pensare solo a te stesso ma anche agli altri esseri umani”. – Daniel Swarovski (1862-1956)

All’inizio del XX secolo, siamo diventati un membro attivo della nostra comunità localedi Wattens, in Austria, sviluppandovi una vivace cultura di attività sportive, attività ricreative e sociali, abbiamo supportando iniziative di beneficenza, abbiamo creando progetti di edilizia sociale e costruendo scuole
Siamo consapevoli che un’azienda di successo promuove e coinvolge una forza lavoro diversificata e crea un ambiente di lavoro inclusivo. Ogni individuo ha diritto a un senso di appartenenza e alla possibilità di esprimersi senza giudizi o pregiudizi. Continuiamo a mettere in pratica questi valori fondamentali nei confronti dei nostri colleghi, dei nostri partner e dell’intera società e creiamo un impatto investendo nei nostri programmi incentrati sulle persone e rimanendo continuamente impegnati a sviluppare ulteriormente le nostre iniziative.
Scopri di più sui tre pilastri della nostra strategia di sostenibilità incentrata sulle persone: uguaglianza, diversità e inclusione, empowerment e formazione, e diritti e rispetto.

Le nostre iniziative
Gruppi di assistenza per i dipendenti
Title:
I nostri ERG (Employee Resource Group, Gruppo di assistenza per i dipendenti) sono gruppi di volontari organizzati dai dipendenti che contribuiscono a fare di Swarovski un luogo di lavoro diversificato e inclusivo. Gli ERG creano un forum per colleghi con interessi comuni perché possano supportarsi a vicenda, offrono opportunità di networking e mentorship e fungono da preziosa risorsa da cui la leadership di Swarovski può imparare.
Siamo fieri di supportare diverse reti e gruppi organizzati dai dipendenti all’interno di Swarovski che creano un senso di comunità, fanno crescere la consapevolezza e promuovono azioni condivise. eMpoWer together, ad esempio, mira a conferire maggiori opportunità alle donne sul posto di lavoro, mentre Pride at Swarovski supporta e celebra la comunità LGBT+.

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

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.

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.
