We act sustainably

That’s why we work tirelessly to improve our production processes and look after our corporate culture.

Whether knives, watches, bags or perfume – sustainability is part of our DNA

Our attitude is this: in the long run, we can only be a healthy company if the planet is healthy. From procuring raw materials through to production, packaging and distribution – we look closely at every detail. Our philosophy can be partly explained by the fact we are a family business. After all, we want future generations to be just as successful as we are today.

Discover how we emphasize sustainability in all aspects of our operations.

Packaging isn’t always necessary

Where possible, we forgo packaging altogether, just as we’ve done with our deodorants and shower gels. We pack our fragrances in cardboard boxes to protect them from light, but like all of our cardboard and paper packaging, these boxes are bleached without chlorine.

We use the heat from our knife production for heating

The various knife-grinding processes create a lot of heat. That’s why we use water for cooling. We recycle the stored heat and use it to keep our headquarters in Ibach as well as 120 nearby apartments warm.

For us, scrap steel means new knives

We collect all our scrap steel. Really all of it. Scrap steel and cutting dust is returned to the steel plant. In fact, we’re pioneers in the recycling of grinding sludge. Each year, we filter 600 tons of steel from our cooling water – that’s 25% of our entire steel purchase.

We source close to home

The wood for our pocket knives with wooden scales previously came from Gabon in Africa. Although it was FSC-certified, we preferred to rely on local sources. We searched long and hard for a suitable material and we succeeded. Now we work with a walnut wood from a local supplier.

Victorinox and Nespresso – two recycling pioneers team up

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.
