“장기적인 성공의 전제조건은 자기 자신뿐만 아니라 함께 세상을 살아가는 다른 이들에 대해서도 고려하는 것입니다.” – Daniel Swarovski(1862 – 1956)
Swarovski 정신은 한 세기가 넘도록 우리의 문화에 깃들어 왔습니다. 1900년대 초, Swarovski는 오스트리아 바텐스 지역의 적극적인 일원이 되어 활기찬 스포츠와 여가, 사회 활동의 문화를 발전시키고, 자선 사업을 지원하고, 공공지원 주택을 설립하고, 학교를 건설했습니다.
성공적인 기업이란 다양한 인력을 육성하고 참여시키며, 포용적인 근무 환경을 조성한다는 것을 Swarovski는 알고 있습니다. 모든 사람은 소속감을 느낄 권리가 있으며, 타인의 판단이나 편견 없이 자신을 표현할 능력이 있습니다. 우리는 동료 및 파트너들과 사회 전반에 대해 이 같은 신념을 꾸준히 유지하고, 사람 중심 프로그램에 투자해 영향력을 발휘하며, 이니셔티브를 더욱 발전시킬 수 있도록 최선을 다합니다.
사람에 초점을 맞춘 Swarovski의 3가지 지속 가능성 전략에 대해 아래에서 자세히 알아보세요. 평등과 다양성 및 포용성, 역량 개발과 교육, 권리와 존중을 실천합니다.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
We will:
- Reduce bias in our recruitment by exploring recruitment practices including AI tech.
- Increase the diversity of our campaigns to include individuals from under-represented groups.
- Celebrate the LGBTQ+ community externally and internally, providing education and awareness opportunities.
We are also proud signatories of the Women’s Empowerment Principles and the UN Standards of Conduct for Business, and are members of Workplace Pride.
Our Initiatives
Employee Resource Groups
Title:
Our ERGs are voluntary employee-led groups that help make Swarovski a diverse and inclusive place to work. They create a forum for colleagues with common interests to support each other, provide networking and mentoring opportunities, and act as a valuable resource for Swarovski leadership to learn from.
We are proud to support many employee-led groups and networks within Swarovski that provide community building, awareness-raising, and shared action. For example, eMpoWer together aims to empower women at work and Pride at Swarovski supports and celebrates the LGBT+ community.
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 to 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 Raks Thai Foundation and BSR’s HERproject to provide support around issues including financial literacy and reproductive health.
Pride at Swarovski
Title:
We are committed to celebrating and elevating the LGBTQ+ community. 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 LGBTI People, and we are members of Workplace Pride.
Empowerment et Éducation
Chacun doit avoir la possibilité d'apprendre et de se développer. Nous voulons motiver les gens à limiter leur impact sur la planète, à traiter les autres avec respect et à prendre des décisions plus conscientes du monde qui les entoure.
Nous nous engageons à :
- Sensibiliser, éduquer et promouvoir les changements de comportement liés aux questions de durabilité et d'égalité.
- Soutenir les institutions académiques afin de favoriser la durabilité et promouvoir la conception durable en faisant don de cristaux ravivés.
Nos initiatives
Université des Arts de Londres
Title:
Dans le cadre de notre partenariat de longue date avec l'Université des Arts de Londres, nous aidons depuis des années des jeunes designers talentueux à intégrer la durabilité dans leur travail. Nous les invitons à penser différemment aux matériaux qu'ils intègrent dans leurs créations et nous espérons qu'ils sauront conserver ces nouvelles perspectives tout au long de leur carrière et dans leur secteur d'activité futur. Nous avons récemment établi un partenariat avec le London College of Fashion et Central Saint Martins pour pousser plus loin cet échange.
En partenariat avec le London College of Fashion, nous organisons chaque année le Swarovski Innovator Award, un concours destiné aux étudiants en dernière année de BA Fashion Jewelry. Nous avons également créé le Swarovski Conscious Design Hub sur le site Web de Central Saint Martins, une nouvelle vitrine pour les travaux de recherche et de conception qui témoigne aux étudiants de notre engagement en faveur d'un avenir durable.
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 behaviours and re-purposing pre-loved jewellery. Team Xtend won with their mobile app that promotes circularity and reduces waste by encouraging customers to recycle their used jewellery 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.
Rights & Respect
It is vital that all those working throughout our value chain can be confident that their human rights are protected.
We will:
- Respect the rights of our people and strive to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all.
- Provide working environments and sound employment conditions in accordance with SMETA, the UN Guiding Principles, and the International Labour Organization Core Conventions.
Our Initiatives
Responsible Sourcing Initiative
RSI is a systematic, risk-based approach to assessing suppliers’ performance against our Code of Conduct. Since 2014, this has helped us to ensure safe and healthy working conditions as well as rigorous employment practices from our suppliers. Through the RSI program, we monitor supply chain labor practices and work closely with our suppliers to drive continuous improvement.
