温室効果ガス排出量

人為的な温室効果ガスが気候変動の最大の要因であることは、広く知られています。地球温暖化防止に貢献するため、私たちはScience Based Targetsイニシアティブ(SBTi)に参加し、明確に定義された排出量削減の道を進みます。

私たちは次のことを行います:

•    2019年を基準として、2030年までにスコープ1およびスコープ2の温室効果ガスの絶対量を47%、スコープ3の排出量を28%削減する。
私たちのイニシアティブ

Riduzione delle emissioni

Title:
In collaborazione con l’iniziativa Science Based Targets, abbiamo definito ambiziosi obiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni di anidride carbonica, compresa la riduzione del 47% delle nostre emissioni di livello 1 e 2 e del 28% delle nostre emissioni di livello 3 entro il 2030. Abbiamo iniziato definendo le aree della nostra azienda in cui la nostra impronta carbonica può essere ridotta più velocemente, il che, in pratica, significa che, a partire dal 2019, abbiamo già ridotto le nostre emissioni di livello 1 e 2 del 12% e le nostre emissioni di livello 3 del 26%.

Piani di riduzione per il livello 1 e 2:
• investizioni nella nostra infrastruttura energetica, comprese le fonti rinnovabili, il fotovoltaico, le pompe di calore, l’infrastruttura per l’idrogeno e il potenziale di stoccaggio per migliorare ulteriormente la nostra efficienza energetica;
• introduzione l’elettrificazione ovunque possibile, anche nei nostri forni di fusione del vetro;
• compensazione del nostro consumo energetico residuo con Certificati di attribuzione di energia rinnovabile

Piani di riduzione per il livello 3:
• aumento dell’efficienza dei materiali per i nostri prodotti e passaggio dalle fonti di metallo primarie a quelle riciclate;.
•    applicazione di una politica di lavoro ibrido a livello globale (compresi alcuni giorni di lavoro da casa);
•   collaborazione con i nostri fornitori allo scopo di incoraggiare un maggiore utilizzo dell’energia rinnovabile nei loro processi di produzione;.
•   passaggio graduale dal trasporto aereo a quello via mare e via treno.

Efficienza energetica

Title:
Energia solare​

Nell’ambito del nostro impegno ad aumentare l’efficienza energetica, ridurre le emissioni di gas serra e passare a fonti energetiche rinnovabili laddove possibile, il nostro intento è di incrementare l’uso del fotovoltaico nei nostri stabilimenti di produzione e nei nostri uffici amministrativi. A Wattens, in Austria, abbiamo realizzato il nostro secondo sistema fotovoltaico su larga scala, che fornisce 300 Kilowatt picco (kWp) e copre una superficie pari a 1.600 m2. In passato, avevamo già realizzato un sistema da 1400 kWp presso il nostro stabilimento di produzione in Thailandia, oltre a un sistema solare di riscaldamento dell’acqua installato sul tetto in India. Inoltre, abbiamo in progetto altre installazioni fotovoltaiche.

Studio di progettazione per un forno di fusione del vetro

Insieme a una multinazionale del vetro specializzata sia in vetro che in vetroceramica, abbiamo avviato uno studio di progettazione per verificare se i nostri materiali aggregati potessero essere fusi utilizzando solo l’energia elettrica. Lo studio ha dimostrato che gli aggregati possono essere fusi usando il 90% di energia elettrica, il che significa che possiamo ridurre significativamente l’utilizzo di gas durante questo processo. Siamo in procinto di implementare un approccio volto a gestire anche il restante 10% di energia utilizzata. Una volta raggiunto questo obiettivo, saremo in grado di fondere volumi elevati di aggregati utilizzando il 100% di energia rinnovabile, il che rappresenterà un risultato importante nel percorso di riduzione dell’impronta carbonica del nostro cristallo.

Swarovski Stores

Title:
With more than 7,500 direct and indirect points of sale around the world, our retail distribution is clearly key to our greenhouse gas emissions-reduction roadmap. We have recently launched a new store concept as part of our brand transformation, which consumes considerably less energy than the one it replaced. Additionally, our new GLEAM Standard (Guidelines for Engineering, Architecture & Management) outlines our strengthened internal architecture protocol, ensuring that our new openings and refurbishments will be more energy efficient, use more sustainable materials, and incorporate inclusive design and smart IoT management to analyse data. As a general practice, all our flagships will continue to undergo a full LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

While much attention is paid to the materials stores are constructed from, and how much energy they consume, there is less focus on the significant volumes of waste material produced by store relocations, closures, and refurbishments. We have run multiple pilots to investigate the potential for recycling former elements of our store architecture, and we have so far recycled more than 100 metric tons of material via our commercial partners. We firmly believe it is our responsibility to act sustainably at the end of a store’s life and not just ahead of its grand opening or during daily operations.

Conscious Materials

By making better decisions about our materials we can limit our environmental impact, and that of our customers too. It is our vision to keep investing in innovative ideas for sourcing and manufacturing responsibly.

We will:

•    Launch at least one sustainable product family per year, while increasing the sustainability credentials of our whole product assortment.

•    Source all our metals from responsibly managed and recycled sources by 2030.
Our Initiatives

Sustainable Products

Title:

We have mandated that, by 2030, 50% of our products must be created in line with our Sustainable Products Guiding Principles:​

•    Materials are derived from responsibly managed or recycled sources. 
•    Products are produced efficiently, without waste, and can be repurposed. 
•    Customers can easily return pre-loved items so we can extract the precious materials.
•    Products do not harm people or the environment. 
•    Product communications are honest, ethical, and promote responsible use.

​To help us achieve this challenging objective, we launched our Sustainable Materials Pipeline (SMP) in 2021. The SMP enables our Design, Product Development, Product Marketing, and Operations teams to work collaboratively introduce more sustainable materials. Plus, it provides us with the tools to rate the sustainability attributes of materials from the start of the process.

Waste & Circularity​

By combining our expertise with innovative new ideas, we can reduce waste and promote circularity. 

We will:

• Partner with external experts to invest in sustainable innovation.

• Double our material efficiency by 2030. 

• Transition our packaging to certified or recycled sources and make it recyclable by 2030.

• Transform our own operations to become 90% land-fill free with at least 70% of our waste being recycled or repurposed by 2030.
Our Initiatives

Reignited Crystals​

Title:
Swarovski Crystals are precious resources that we don’t want to waste. Our reignited crystals initiative allows us to give unused crystals another chance to be adored, instead of being discarded. We hold on to any unsold crystals for as long as possible and are committed to ensuring that they are used for their intended purpose. 

We believe in the positive, transformational power of collaboration, and through our conscious design projects and partnerships we donate reignited crystals to world renowned academic institutions, upcoming designers, and established names to use in their designs. Our aim is to encourage them to use this exquisite material creatively while also raising awareness of the importance of sustainable design and waste as a valuable resource.​

In 2021 we partnered with Viktor&Rolf, who integrated reignited crystals into their FW21 Haute Couture collection, and Kevin Germanier, who created his SS22 collection using reignited crystals and sustainable materials. We also collaborated with Germanier to design a recycled perfume bottle for Guerlain encrusted with reignited crystals.

Efficiencies in Production

Title:
We constantly invest in systems to improve our water usage and reduce chemical use in our crystal-cutting processes. In our main crafting facility in Wattens, Austria, our closed-loop wastewater treatment system cleans and recycles 98% of the water from our crystal polishing process, and 88% of the water from our crystal grinding process.

At our production facility, also located in Wattens, we use a cooling lubricant circuit to aid the cutting of crystals. The circuit holds 1,200 m3 of liquid and requires the careful addition of relevant chemicals to ensure its optimum performance and stability.​ From 2015 to 2021, we halved the amount of cooling lubricant used. We have also been able to completely, or partially, remove a number of chemicals from the process, including kit agent precipitant and defoamer, and we re-engineered our corrosion inhibitor to omit phosphorous. 

All of these improvements are a result of innovation rather than reduced production, and they have had safety benefits for our colleagues, too.
