DID YOU KNOW THAT?
New ConceptsSwarovski 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. Stage & ScreenFrom 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. AwardsSwarovski 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.
Corporate Responsibility 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.
DiversityWith 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) .
InnovationSwarovski 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.
DesignSwarovski 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 precision-cut 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.

Within Swarovski, we have a wide variety of training and development opportunities. On the one hand, you will have the chance to gain experience by learning on the job, as well as through project assignments and possibly international assignments. On the other hand, we offer external and in-house training programs, such as leadership development programs at the Swarovski Academy. The Performance Dialogue is our annual process for all employees to review their performance over the last year, define next year’s objectives, and to plan development activities with their line manager. Receiving feedback and identifying performance and development opportunities is not a single activity, but rather part of a constant and ongoing development process. The Performance Dialogue supports you in discovering your future potential. The Swarovski Academy is the leadership development platform at Swarovski, with the mission of developing leadership skills and shaping a leadership culture based on our company values. Several programs and classes are offered annually.
People Review and Succession Planning is our annual process to identify employee potential, performance development steps, and successors for key positions. Swarovski places high value on people development. To support the best development actions, Swarovski has established an annual process to systematically identify and discuss high-potential employees at a local, regional, and global level. International Mobility to be a truly global employer, Swarovski wants to create an environment with an international culture and network. International assignments and transfers are vital as they allow not only personal growth and development, but also get people with the right skills in the right place at the right time.

WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE SAYING
“I joined Swarovski in June 2014, without any
preconceptions on how and what it would be
like. In fact, if you were to tell me 20 years ago,
I would be living in Switzerland and working
in Liechtenstein, I would have walked away
laughing. During my first months here in Triesen,
I was made to feel at home, both in and outside
of work. In a short period I met many new
colleagues from dif ferent parts of the world,
then you realise the international diversity
within the Triesen location. Relocation to the
Liechtenstein/Graubünden region provides a
wealth of winter and summer outdoor activities,
the perfect place for my young children to grow
up happy and healthy!“

Swarovski Triesen is perfect for me. The Customer
Service department is especially diverse with
colleagues from all over the world who speak

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 water-related 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.
Swarovski LiechtensteinIn Liechtenstein, we sponsor local community activities such as the Vaduz Film Festival, the Liechtenstein Guitar Festival, and several other events.
