Corporate responsibility

For Swatch Group, taking responsibility for preserving life, upholding the quality of life, championing health and safety, and protecting the environment is essential. The company endeavors to do the best it can in all areas and at all levels of the company to fulfill this responsibility. The Group’s aim is to create value for its stakeholders, the environment and society as a whole.

Environmental, ethical and social criteria have therefore always been an integral part of its corporate culture and its sourcing policy. The Executive Group Management Board, the Extended Group Management Board and the management teams at the individual units continually ensure that they demonstrate what this culture of responsibility looks like and that all employees at all levels continually share and practice this approach. Swatch Group strives to ensure that resources are used efficiently and sparingly to guarantee that its products are manufactured and marketed in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner, and thereby secure its long-term success. The use of recycled and recyclable materials and substances as well as environmentally friendly production methods are taken into consideration as early as the planning and development phase of each new product.

A full overview on the Swatch Group's commitments to the SDGs can be found on the pages 14 and 15 of the 2022 Sustainability Report.
