Swarovski Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability strategy

Swarovski has published a sustainability report and a wider strategy that groups its work into six areas: materials, education, waste, equality and inclusion, respect for people, and greenhouse gases. The company says this is meant to make sustainability part of the whole business, not just one team. Independent coverage also says the report looks at the full value chain, from raw materials to end-of-life disposal. This shows the brand has moved beyond general promises and has started to set a more structured plan.

Used lower-impact materials

Good On You says Swarovski uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials. Other coverage says the brand has also used lab-grown diamonds, recycled gold, responsibly sourced gemstones, and lead-free crystal in some collections. These steps suggest the company has tried to reduce the impact of some products, even though it does not publish a full breakdown of all materials used. That missing detail makes it harder for outsiders to judge how far these changes go across the whole business.

Cut water and energy use

A 2022 article said Swarovski got 35 percent of its energy from renewable sources at manufacturing and water production sites in 2019. It also said the company met 76 percent of its water demand in 2018 through recycled sources. Good On You also notes that Swarovski uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain. A closed-loop system means water is reused instead of being thrown away after one use.

Set 2030 emissions targets

Third-party coverage says Swarovski has set science-based targets (emissions cuts that follow climate science) for 2030. These include a 47 percent cut in emissions from its own operations and a 28 percent cut in emissions outside its operations. The same source says the company also wants to become 90 percent landfill-free by 2030, with 70 percent of waste recycled or repurposed. These are clear operational goals, but they still depend on future delivery.

Built a design reuse program

Swarovski launched its Conscious Design Program in 2015. According to third-party coverage, the program has given more than six million upcycled crystals to design schools and designers. Upcycled means old material is reused in a way that gives it new value. This action shows the brand has tried to keep materials in use for longer and support design education at the same time.
