Swarovski (Crystal Business) scores 56/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.
That places Swarovski (Crystal Business) joint 32nd of 807 companies scored, and it is the only Jewellery & Watches company scored so far.
Swarovski has cut absolute emissions 46% since 2019 and validated net-zero targets to 2050, but remains dependent on non-renewable heat at manufacturing and lacks biodiversity commitments. Biodiversity and water metrics are reported as material but not quantified; limited third-party assurance covers only select KPIs.
