14 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 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 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. Swarovski Wattens One of the main reasons for the foundation of Swarovski in Wattens, Austria, in 1895 was the hydropower energy potential of the Inn and Wattenbach rivers. Today, over 50 percent of energy needed at the production plants in Wattens is supplied by hydropower produced on-site. Water is not only essential to generate electricity though; it also plays an important role in the company s production processes of grinding and polishing.

15 WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE SAYING I started working for Swarovski in March During the Welcome Experience the introduction day for new employees I got a comprehensive insight into the company. My job was described in a very realistic way during my job interview. Besides my really helpful and friendly colleagues, I appreciate the open feedback culture and the support of my superiors. People generally address each other on a first name basis I enjoyed that open-minded mentality from the beginning. Florian, Junior IT Business Consultant Swarovski is a very family-friendly employer. I ve been working for Swarovski for 16 years now, most of the time as a part-time employee. I ve had only positive experiences with the compatibility of work and family so far. Also my re-entries after my maternity leave were facilitated in the best possible way. It is admirable to see a company which has such an international mindset, hiring someone directly from Brazil as it happened in my case. Swarovski provided me with great support in this important transition phase of my life and career and this made the whole experience even more enriching. It is inspiring to work for a company that has such an interesting and unique history and an environment that stimulates creativity and exchange. Ana Paula, Trade Marketing Manager Margit, Production Worker Silvering The inventive talent of our founder Daniel Swarovski is still very present today. New creative ideas, technical innovations and exciting experiments offer an interesting working environment. Day in, day out, I m inspired by the innovative spirit of Swarovski. Andrea, Project Manager Innovations Swarovski enables and provides its employees the liberty to constantly seek new challenges, to further develop our processes, and to put our ideas into practice. This allows us to take over and make use of our responsibility and to actively steer and manage the business. I joined in 1989 and have accompanied Swarovski ever since. Especially the way in which the company deals with demanding situations makes me proud to be a part of Swarovski. Herbert, Senior Vice President Global Manufacturing Gemstone Business
