Whistleblower system

The Swarovski Optik Group attaches great importance to acting with integrity. This applies at company level as well as at management and employee level. We comply with applicable laws and regulations as well as internal guidelines. In order to enable managers and employees to behave with integrity and in accordance with the rules, we have issued various internal codes of conduct and guidelines.

With the Whistleblower Directive EU-2019/1937, the European legislator has created a legal framework for drawing attention to wrongdoing of any kind. In Austria, this EU directive was implemented with the Whistleblower Protection Act (HSchG). It obliges companies with more than 50 employees to set up an internal whistleblower system.

We now also have such a system in our company. It is intended to help us to draw attention to irregularities by providing appropriate information so that we can react promptly, restore the legal situation as quickly as possible and avert damage.

All information of this kind will of course be treated confidentially. The identity of persons and data are 100% protected. We process every suspected case impartially and neutrally. Every report received is examined carefully and comprehensively by the Compliance Manager. If the case is valid, it is presented to the Compliance Board and the next steps are agreed. If a breach of the applicable rules is identified, the necessary steps are taken.

What can be reported?

  • Beyond the subject areas provided for in the Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act (HSchG):

  • Antitrust law and fair competition

  • Avoidance of conflicts of interest

  • Gifts, invitations and benefits

  • Export control

  • Protection of information

  • etc.

In the “Other” category, topics can be reported that go beyond the reporting categories specified by the legislator.

Certifications & Compliance Statement

Since its foundation in 1949, SWAROVSKI OPTIK has celebrated high quality awareness as an important pillar of its corporate philosophy. Long before terms such as Kaizen, continuous improvement or lean management were considered helpful management methods, the SWAROVSKI OPTIK team was already committed to optimizing the quality of its products in precisely this sense.

Quality management


In the early days, quality was associated primarily with the fulfillment of technical specifications, which one tried to ensure by testing and inspecting the end products.

However, product quality alone was no longer enough. In order to consistently align all operational processes with the needs and changing requirements of our customers, the company management decided to implement an ISO-9001 certified quality management system in 1998. This quality management system ensures not only the highest product quality, but also a constantly rising service quality.
