Horlyne is also committed to making sustainable development and corporate social responsibility a priority, through respect for environmental, social and ethical standards. The company pays particular attention to the responsible use of raw materials, employee health and safety, and conditions for suppliers.
Horlyne is committed to ESG and has set itself ambitious targets to meet the challenges of the future.
We choose to assume the following CSR/ESG commitments in our day-to-day actions as well as through our medium- and long-term objectives:
Horlyne SA joined the national STI program at the end of August 2023, enabling companies to measure their contribution to the 17 UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) adopted in 2015.
“Our motivation to participate in this initiative is strengthened by the support of the Acrotec Group and the collaboration with other companies within this group. The Swiss Triple Impact covers a wide range of sectors and skills, which fills us with pride as we collectively contribute to a sustainability strategy in tune with our society.”
Horlyne SA obtained its first RJC Code of Practices (CoP) certification on July 1, 2018, followed by its renewal on July 3, 2024.
This certification attests to our compliance with the most stringent international standards in terms of ethics, social responsibility, the environment, and governance.
As part of our due diligence, we confirm that during 2024 and to date in 2025, no negative impact on human rights has been identified, either among our staff or among our direct suppliers.
We have also exercised due diligence with regard to the precious metals and gemstones supply chain: no exposure to conflict or high-risk areas has been identified.
Horlyne also encourages its partners to report any illegal, dishonest, inappropriate, or fraudulent behavior related to the company. A neutral trusted person is available to ensure free, confidential, or anonymous communication, protected from any reprisals.
Reports can be sent to: [email protected].
If you have any questions about our commitment to responsibility or would like to obtain our various policies (procurement policy, environmental policy, code of conduct, data protection policy), you can also contact us at this same address.
As part of its commitment to continuous improvement, Horlyne has been working since 2024 to obtain RJC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification. We are pleased to announce that this certification was obtained on November 19, 2025.
COC certification guarantees complete, transparent, and reliable traceability of precious metals within the supply chain. It reinforces our commitment to responsible jewellery and watchmaking by ensuring that the origin and processing of materials meet demanding standards of transparency and integrity.
We encourage our partners to also pursue these certification processes so that together we can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible industry.
For any requests or further information regarding our CoC certification, please contact: [email protected].
As voluntary candidates for certification, Horlyne and the Acrotec Group have been rewarded for the level of commitment, satisfaction and recognition of their employees, following an extensive internal survey carried out in their companies. A questionnaire was sent out to all Group employees, focusing on 5 major themes: credibility, respect, fairness, conviviality and pride.
The 73 questions will enable all Group companies to access and analyze the results of the survey, and to implement actions to improve employee satisfaction, given that the participation rate exceeded 75% within the Acrotec Group.
Polluting products are recovered and recycled. The use of chemicals is avoided as much as possible, or strictly limited. The washing of parts (degreasing) is soap-based. The water is filtered to remove metals; the precious metals are preserved.
Horlyne participates with its clients in energy saving programs that aim at a healthy and sustainable management of material and human resources.
Horlyne is a member of the Swiss Watch Industry Employers’ Convention (CP), a structure for negotiation and dialogue between employers and employees, dealing in particular with occupational health and safety (OHS) training.
Horlyne is also part of Acrotec’s Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) program. The goal is to integrate ESG responsibilities into the organization’s overall framework and thus generate value for all of the organization’s stakeholders (such as employees, customers and suppliers).
