Canivetes, relógios, malas ou perfumes: a sustentabilidade faz parte do nosso DNA

Quando possível, ignoramos completamente a embalagem, por exemplo, com nossos desodorantes e géis de banho. As fragrâncias são embaladas em caixas de papelão para protegê-las da luz. Assim como ocorre com nossas embalagens de papelão e de papel, essas caixas são alvejadas sem cloro.

Os vários processos de afiação de facas geram muito calor. É por isso que usamos água para resfriamento. Reciclamos o calor armazenado e o utilizamos para a calefação dos prédios de nosso centro de operações em Ibach, assim como em 120 apartamentos.

Coletamos todas as sobras de aço. Realmente, todas. As sobras de aço e a poeira de corte são devolvidas à aciaria. Na verdade, somos pioneiros na reciclagem de lodo de afiação. Assim, filtramos anualmente 600 toneladas de aço de nossa água de refrigeração, ou seja, 25% de nossa compra total de aço.

A madeira de nossos canivetes de bolso com talas de madeira antes vinha do Gabão, África. Embora tal produção fosse certificada pela FSC, preferimos confiar em fontes locais. Buscamos durante muito tempo um material adequado e finalmente conseguimos: agora trabalhamos com madeira de nogueira de um fornecedor local.

For the 25th anniversary of Nespresso’s recycling program, the coffee capsule producer Nespresso has joined up with Victorinox. The result of the collaboration is the Pioneer pocket knife, whose Alox scales consist completely of recycled Nespresso capsules.

This planet’s resources are limited. That’s why we treat them responsibly. Take the long warranty on our luggage as an example. Should something break, we’ll repair it wherever possible, thus avoiding the waste of more raw materials.

The Spectra 3.0 Collection is made with recycled materials that deliver maximized functionality, including an innovative high-performance recycled polycarbonate material, SORPLAS™. Used in up to 65% of the shell, SORPLAS™ is developed and provided by Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation and delivers uncompromising strength, performance or impact resistance.

Our watches are manufactured in Switzerland. They are actually produced under a roof that produces a significant portion of our energy. Our production centers are fitted with photovoltaic installations which provide part of the electricity for watch production.

We’re proud of our machinery and maintain it very carefully. Our equipment thanks us with its long life – some of our machines have been with us for more than 50 years. We simply adapt and modernize them where necessary, thus saving on resources.

Our responsibility doesn’t just extend to our own operations. That’s why we regularly visit our carefully selected suppliers. Because we want to make sure that our high standards regarding the quality and sustainability of our products are shared by our partners.

True to our values, a work-life balance is important for us. We encourage a hearty laugh as much as an open discussion in our meetings, and believe in being friendly and polite. We offer recreational sports or snacks during breaks, plus flexible working hours and secure terms of employment. It’s worth it: our employee turnover is less than two percent.
