Carina Schiestl-Swarovski, chairman of the executive board of Swarovski Optik, sums up the company’s respectful and enduring way of dealing with nature as follows, “We work in a harmonious symbiosis with nature and the environment because this forms the basis for the use of our products. Only nature that is in good order and the biodiversity of flora and fauna help our customers to enjoy breathtaking, unforgettable visual experiences.”
With certification in December 2000 of the integrated environmental management system to the ISO-14001 standard, Swarovski Optik reaffirmed its pioneering role for an active environmental policy which includes partners. Customers of Swarovski Optik can rely on the fact that state of the art environmental technologies are applied at the highest level in production. Swarovski Optik not only complies with applicable environmental law regulations but considers itself obliged to continuously improve its environmental standards to keep impacts as low as possible or to prevent them completely if possible.
Swarovski Optik’s appreciation and respectful way of dealing with nature goes beyond environmentally compatible production techniques and certification according to the strict norms of ISO 1401, and extends to committed initiatives and backing for numerous species protection and nature conservation projects all over the world. Swarovski Optik makes an enduring contribution towards the preservation of habitats and animal species and also puts its corporate philosophy into practice actively in the form of cooperation with nature conservation and species protection organisations.
