The Swarovski Foundation is committed to promoting sustainable livelihoods through education to reduce inequality. This mission shapes our partnerships and initiatives worldwide. We partner with global charities that share this mission, maintaining regular communication, supporting joint advocacy and engagement efforts, and shared impact measurement. Guided by a commitment to transparency, our impact reports mark achievements while driving continuous improvement to create lasting change.

In 2024, the Swarovski Foundation strengthened global partnerships and initiatives across its three focus areas - Equity, Creativity, and Water - empowered marginalised groups, advanced creative talent, and improved water security. Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, the year delivered measurable progress and set the stage for new partnerships and the 25th anniversary of Waterschool in 2025.
