SUSTAINABILITY
At Breitling, we are a #Squadonamission to do better. We are committed to doing our best to optimize the social and environmental impact of our business. In our annual Sustainability Mission Report, you’ll find our overall vision for sustainability along with key facts and figures across the full scope of our efforts.
MISSION CONTROL
THE SUSTAINABILITY MISSION WE'RE ON
Breitling is on a mission to do better, by creating beautiful products with better materials, better manufacturing, and end-to-end traceability. Combining classic watchmaking with the latest and most sustainable innovations, Breitling is both a company with history and one that is ahead of its time.
THE ORIGINS LABEL
We've spent the last few years reshpaing the way we source our precious materials. Watches with Breitling's Origins label—featuring better gold and better diamonds—are the result.
COMMUNITY AND TRACEABILITY BASED SUPPLY CHAINS
Our artisanal and small-scale gold and lab-grown diamonds are fully traceable to producers we've individually selected for their social and environmental responsibility. The entire supply chain is documented, verified, and shared back with you on our enhanced traceability NFT.
SUSTAINABILITY VALUE CREATION
We take a systemic approach to value creation that considers financial return, planetary health and societal wellbeing. By leading in traceability, we build stronger relationships with and among customers, communities, employees and suppliers, while providing meaningful transparency across our core pillars of community, nature and governance.
NATURE
SUPPORTING RESILIENT ECOSYSTEMS
We support resilient ecosystems by contributing to climate risk mitigation, nature regeneration and plastic waste reduction to protect our business outlook and advance global best practice. We have been one of the first companies globally to adopt the guidance of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and have completed our first full assessment according to the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial disclosures. Our climate action roadmap is aligned to the Corporate Net Zero Standard and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. We have achieved a Carbon Disclosure Project score of A- for climate.
CLIMEWORKS
Breitling's carbon reduction roadmap is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative and aligned to its most ambitious Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Together with Climeworks, we are supporting near-term action for carbon removal.
Surfrider
Breitling is proud to support the Surfrider Foundation, a non-governmental organization devoted to fighting for coastal preservation and clean oceans. We are also committed to water conservation and protection, and are developing targets based on our full-scope water footprint assessment.
Climate Impulse
The first nonstop around-the-world, zero-emission flight, with a green hydrogen-powered airplane, estimated to last nine days and conceived to inspire climate action at large. We are committed to supporting leaders shaping a new era for aviation in respect of planetary boundaries.
COMMUNITY
BUILDING SHARED PROSPERITY
We take action with communities globally to build shared resilience and prosperity across our value chain and support transformative processes from supply chain communities to customers and beyond. For the third year in a row, we have been recognized as a Top Employer and are Best Employer in the Swiss Watches & Jewelry industry in 2025. We launched employee shareholding, enabling our employees to be actively involved in our mission. Our commitment to affected communities is reflected in initiatives like the Better Gold and Better Diamond Funds, fostering community education programs.
BETTER DIAMOND AND BETTER GOLD FUNDS
Our Better Diamond and Better Gold Funds, established for our activities in our lab-grown diamond and artisanal and small-scale gold value chains support meaningful community investment, with a focus on childhood education, economic development and nature protection.
Fairpay
We conduct an annual pay gap analysis to ensure equal pay across all levels of our organization. This thorough review helps us identify and address any disparities, reinforcing our commitment to equitable compensation practices.
TOP EMPLOYER
We’re proud to share that, for the third year in a row, we’ve been recognized as a Top Employer and in 2025, we’ve once again earned the title of Best Employer in the Swiss Watches & Jewelry industry.
GOVERNANCE
ANCHORED IN A FOUNDATION OF TRANSPARENCY
We uphold the highest ethical standards with transparent, accountable practices, setting forward-looking standards that reflect our values and ensure full compliance. Our values are further outlined in our Environmental, Social and Governance Policy, Anti-Corruption Policy, Employee Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct.
