“A precondition of your long-term success is that you endeavor to think not only of yourselves but also of your fellow human beings”. – Daniel Swarovski (1862 – 1956)
The Swarovski Spirit has been embedded in our culture for more than a century. During the early 1900s, we became an active member of our local community in Wattens, Austria, developing a vibrant culture of sports, leisure, and social activities, supporting charitable initiatives, setting up social housing, and constructing schools.
We understand that a successful business nurtures and engages a diverse workforce and creates an inclusive working environment. Every individual has the right to a sense of belonging and the ability to express themselves without judgment or prejudice. We continue to uphold these fundamental beliefs for our colleagues, our partners, and throughout society, driving impact through investing in our people-focused programs and remaining dedicated to developing our initiatives further.

Our Initiatives
Çalışan Kaynak Grupları
Title:
Çalışan Kaynak Gruplarımız, Swarovski’nin sunduğu çalışma ortamını çeşitli ve kapsayıcı bir yer haline getirmeye yardımcı olan, çalışanlar tarafından yönetilen gönüllü gruplarıdır. Bu gruplar, ortak ilgi alanlarına sahip çalışanların birbirlerini desteklemeleri, ağ oluşturmaları ve mentorluk imkanları sunmaları için bir platform oluştururken, Swarovski liderliği için de değerli bir bilgi kaynağı olarak işlev görür.
Swarovski bünyesinde, çalışanlarımızın önderlik ettiği birçok gruba ve ağa destek olmaktan gurur duyuyoruz. Bu gruplar, topluluk oluşturma, farkındalık yaratma ve ortak eylem konularında önemli bir rol oynuyor. Örneğin, eMpoWer together iş yerinde kadınları güçlendirmeyi hedeflerken Pride at Swarovski LGBT+ topluluğunu destekliyor.

Cinsiyet Eşitliği
Title:
Müşteri tabanının büyük çoğunluğunu kadınların oluşturduğu ve çalışanlarının %77’sini kadınların oluşturduğu bir marka olarak, kadınların güçlenmesine destek olmayı önceliğimiz olarak görüyoruz. Ürünlerimizi üretenlerden onları kullananlara kadar değer zincirimizin her aşamasında kadınları güçlendirmeye çalışıyoruz. Her yıl, çalışanlarımızı kadınların güçlenmesi konusunda harekete geçirmeyi ve onları toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğini savunmaya teşvik etmeyi amaçlayan küresel girişimimiz The Future Is Equal ile Dünya Kadınlar Günü’nü destekliyoruz.
Ayrıca, BSR HERproject ve Raks Thai Foundation gibi STK’lerle tedarik zincirine odaklı projeler yürüterek finansal okuryazarlık ve üreme sağlığı gibi konularda destek sağlıyoruz.

Swarovski’de Onur
Title:
LGBT+ topluluğuna değer verme ve destekleme konusunda kararlıyız. Onur odaklı çalışan kaynak gruplarımız, daha iyi bir müttefik olma konusunda donanımlı hale gelmemizi sağlamak için düzenli etkinlikler gerçekleştirerek LGBT+ çalışanlarımızla bağlantı kurmamıza yardımcı oluyor. Onur Ayı boyunca, transseksüel model Ariel Nicholson ve moda tasarımcısı Ludovic de Saint Sernin gibi iş birlikçilerin seslerine yer vererek bireysellik konusunda farkındalık yaratmayı amaçlıyoruz.
BM’nin Free & Equal kampanyasında, LGBTI Bireylere Karşı Ayrımcılıkla Mücadelede BM Davranış Standartları’nda ve Workplace Pride’da yer almaktan gurur duyuyoruz.

Ενδυνάμωση & εκπαίδευση
Κάθε άτομο που στηρίζεται σε εμάς θα πρέπει να έχει την ευκαιρία να μαθαίνει και να αναπτύσσεται. Θέλουμε να κινητοποιούμε τους ανθρώπους να περιορίζουν τον αντίκτυπό τους στον πλανήτη, να συμπεριφέρονται στους άλλους με σεβασμό και να λαμβάνουν πιο συνειδητές αποφάσεις.
Έχουμε στόχο να:
Έχουμε στόχο να:
- Ευαισθητοποιήσουμε, εκπαιδεύσουμε και προωθήσουμε την αλλαγή συμπεριφοράς σε σχέση με θέματα βιωσιμότητας και ισότητας.
- Υποστηρίξουμε τα ακαδημαϊκά ιδρύματα για την προώθηση της βιωσιμότητας και να προάγουμε τον βιώσιμο σχεδιασμό μέσω της δωρεάς ανακυκλωμένων κρυστάλλων.
Οι πρωτοβουλίες μας
University of the Arts του Λονδίνου
Title:
Μέσω της μακροχρόνιας συνεργασίας μας με το University of the Arts του Λονδίνου, παρέχουμε εδώ και χρόνια βοήθεια σε ταλαντούχους σχεδιαστές ώστε να εντάσσουν τη βιωσιμότητα στη δουλειά τους. Τους προτρέπουμε να σκέφτονται με διαφορετικό τρόπο για τα υλικά που συμπεριλαμβάνουν στα σχέδιά τους και ελπίζουμε ότι θα μεταφέρουν τις νέες προοπτικές στην καριέρα τους και στους κλάδους τους. Πρόσφατα, συνεργαστήκαμε με το London College of Fashion και το Central Saint Martins για να διευρύνουμε αυτή τη σχέση.
Σε συνεργασία με το London College of Fashion, διοργανώνουμε το Swarovski Innovator Award, έναν ετήσιο διαγωνισμό για τους τελειόφοιτους φοιτητές τμημάτων BA Fashion Jewelry (Κοσμηματοποιία Μόδας). Δημιουργήσαμε επίσης το Swarovski Conscious Design Hub στον ιστότοπο του Central Saint Martins, το οποίο λειτουργεί ως σημείο προβολής της ερευνητικής και σχεδιαστικής εργασίας και αποδεικνύει στους φοιτητές ότι είμαστε στοχεύουμε σε ένα βιώσιμο μέλλον.

Innovate2030
Title:
Το Innovate2030 είναι ένας διαγωνισμός που διοργανώνεται από την εταιρεία παροχής συμβουλών διαχείρισης Ekipa, η οποία ενθαρρύνει φοιτητές, επαγγελματίες και νεοφυείς επιχειρήσεις να συνεργαστούν με αναγνωρισμένους φορείς για να παρουσιάσουν ψηφιακές καινοτομίες που προωθούν τη βιωσιμότητα.
Υποστηρίξαμε την Team Xtend το 2021 στο πλαίσιο του διαγωνισμού για την ανάπτυξη ιδεών όσον αφορά την παροχή κινήτρων για κυκλικές συμπεριφορές και την επαναξιοποίηση μεταχειρισμένων κοσμημάτων. Η Team Xtend κέρδισε με την εφαρμογή της για κινητά που προωθεί την κυκλικότητα και μειώνει τα απόβλητα, ενθαρρύνοντας τους πελάτες να ανακυκλώνουν τα μεταχειρισμένα κοσμήματά τους με σκοπό την επαναχρησιμοποίησή τους και είτε να νοικιάζουν είτε να αγοράζουν αντικείμενα προηγούμενης σεζόν ή ανακατασκευασμένα αντικείμενα της Swarovski. Μετά την επιτυχία του έργου Innovate2030, πραγματοποιήσαμε άλλο ένα έργο σε συνεργασία με το Ινστιτούτο Μόδας του Μιλάνου για να αντλήσουμε περισσότερες ιδέες για την προώθηση της κυκλικότητας από ταλαντούχους «ψηφιακούς γηγενείς».

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.
