Innovation
New Concepts
Corporate Responsibility
Swarovski encourages its employees to share
their innovative ideas: the Slake bracelet
was one such idea – one million bracelets,
containing 525 million crystals, were sold
in less than 18 months.
Swarovski is behind the exciting retail concepts
lolaandgrace, a young and contemporary
brand offering fresh and accessible fashion
jewelry, and CADENZZA, which offers a
curated range of pieces from more than 50
of the world’s best established and emerging
designers.
The Swarovski Waterschool was set up
in Austria in 2000 to teach children about
water conservation. Since then Swarovski
has set up Waterschools around the globe
on some of the world’s greatest rivers –
including the Ganges, the Yangtze, the Nile,
and the Amazon – which have reached
200,000 children.
Design
Swarovski has collaborated with leading
couturiers ever since its crystals became highly
prized ingredients in the dressmaking ateliers
of Paris 120 years ago. Today Swarovski
continues to work with leading designers
and cutting-edge creative talents, and is the
largest global supplier of crystal and crystal
components to the fashion industry — watch
out for Swarovski lighting up the catwalks of
London, Paris, and Milan.
Swarovski is the market leader in precisioncut genuine gemstones and created stones.
Since the company first started cutting genuine
gemstones in 1965, followed by genuine
and created gemstones in the early 1970s,
these amazing cuts and colors – ranging from
zirconia to genuine sapphire – have fueled
the imagination of some of the world’s most
talented designers and are used within the
fine jewelry, watches, eyewear, and consumer
electronics industries.
Stage & Screen
From the early days of Hollywood 85 years
ago, Swarovski has worked hand in hand
with costume and set designers, creating
show-stopping jewels, costumes, and sets
that capture the spotlight. Now Swarovski
has moved into film production with its first
feature film, Romeo & Juliet. Swarovski crystals
also play a dazzling supporting role at the
Oscars. In 2014, more than 164,000 crystals
shimmered brilliantly throughout the Dolby
Theater, marking seven years of Swarovski
crystal as the key creative ingredient in the set
design for Oscars night.
Awards
Swarovski remains at the very forefront
of design, creativity, and technological
innovation: two of Swarovski’s men’s watches,
Avant Time D:Light and Crystallium, have won
Red Dot Awards for Best Product Design.
Diversity
With over 70 percent female employees,
supporting women is a significant topic
for Swarovski. To underline the company’s
dedication to this issue, the Executive
Board signed the United Nations’ Women’s
Empowerment Principles (WEPs).
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE, IMAGINATIVE,
VIGOROUS, AND PASSIONATE.

performance over the last year, define next

International Mobility to be a truly global

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Giving Back to Our Communities
Swarovski Waterschool
“It is the duty of every ethically sound company to support environmental
and social projects.” The founder of the company, Daniel Swarovski,
set the precedent by conducting business in accordance with the criteria
of sustainability – behavior that has since matured to become a core
competency of the company.
Today, the bond between Swarovski and water has deepened further,
as can be seen in many of the projects at the company. The best-known
program is the Swarovski Waterschool, which has been a remarkable
success story since its introduction at the Hohe Tauern National Park in
Austria in 2000. Since then, four further Swarovski Waterschools have
been set up: along the Ganges in India in 2006, the Yangtze in China in
2008, the Nile in Uganda in 2009, and the Amazon in Brazil in 2014.
The Waterschool’s objectives are educating children on the principles
of sustainable water use and enabling communities to solve their waterrelated challenges as well as to contribute to a world where all people
have access to safe and reliable water and adequate sanitation. They
learn how to use water sustainably and, in so doing, how to promote the
responsible use of this precious resource. The Waterschool program is
financed by Swarovski, the company, as well as by the Swarovski Crystal
Society (SCS) and its 300,000 members worldwide.

In Liechtenstein, we sponsor local community activities such as the Vaduz
Film Festival, the Liechtenstein Guitar Festival, and several other events.
