Our commitment to responsible, ethical and ecological standards began when the company was created in 1895. Today, the Corporate Responsibility strategy includes six focus areas: Ethics and Integrity, Caring for Our People, Creating Responsible Products, Protecting the Environment, Giving Back and Responsible Supply Chain.

Ethics & Integrity
Daniel Swarovski insisted that the strongest ethics be applied in all our business, and this is at the core of our corporate culture today. As a 100% family owned company, genuine family values have always been at the heart of the business. With the company’s growing global footprint, Swarovski is codifying and further developing our business ethics and values in an Integrity Charter.
Caring for Our People
Swarovski is founded on the ability to recruit and retain qualified, engaged and reliable people, and every employee is vital to our success. We are committed to diversity and equal opportunities for everyone, with a special commitment to women who make up over 70% of our employees. In 2014, our Executive Board pledged support for the United Nations initiative: ’Women’s Empowerment Principles.’
Responsible Products
Our ‘CLEAR’ program ensures that only approved raw materials are used and limits the use of restricted substances including nickel, lead and cadmium, guaranteeing the safety of the product. After 12 years of intensive research, we announced a lead-free formula which significantly raised the bar for quality and sustainability in the entire industry.
Environmental Protection
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact across all our operations and have a proud track record of proactively managing environmental challenges in our production process. In Swarovski stores worldwide, we are also implementing the Swarovski Sustainable Stores initiative in alignment with the ‘Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design’ certification program.
Swarovski Foundation
Swarovski has a long history of giving back to society. Since 1895, five generations have led and maintained the company’s commitment to philanthropy and charitable giving. Today, the Swarovski Foundation’s mission is to build on this heritage, by working with organizations that promote culture and creativity, wellbeing, and the conservation of the natural environment, therefore making a positive social impact globally.
