Popular jewellery company Swarovski unveiled its 2024 Sustainability Report, which reflected significant progress across its sustainability strategy.

The report emphasised the company’s commitment to combating climate change and achieving net zero emissions by 2050, as well as conserving resources, reducing waste, fostering equity, and celebrating individuality. 

The company said that the publication underscores Swarovski’s 130-year-old legacy of steadfast dedication to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance.

Key highlights included:

Today, it remains a cornerstone of our corporate strategy and a reflection of the values that have guided us for over a century. In a year shaped by global uncertainty and growing environmental challenges, we stood firm in our values—guided not only by strategic intent, but by a deep sense of responsibility."
