Our sustainability story

At MONDAINE #wecare: For us, sustainability is a matter of respect for our environment. From the production process to recycling - we continuously improve sustainability throughout the life cycle of our watches. We offset the emissions that we cannot avoid by working with non-governmental organisations on reforestation.

In 2020, we became one of the first watch companies to be comprehensively CO2 neutral for scope 1, 2, 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG), a milestone we repeated in 2021. In 2022, MONDAINE switched to vegan grape leather straps, furthering our sustainability commitment to long-term CO2 neutrality.

As a family-owned Swiss SME, Mondaine Watch Ltd. is a pioneer in the field of sustainability. We are one of the leaders in sustainability in the watch industry and have been actively caring for the environment by taking many innovative steps for more than 50 years. “For decades, we have consistently maintained a responsible use of resources, searched for eco-friendly solutions and alternative materials. With our successful track record, we continuously reduce our ecological footprint, step by step.” says André Bernheim, Co-owner and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Environmental Officer of the Group.

For decades, we've collected and recycled materials like paper, cardboard, plastics, and watch components, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. As part of this philosophy, we also offer free watch recycling in our factory in Switzerland, where we dismantle them and send the parts to recycling firms. Even watches from other brands are welcome, except for their plastic ones.

Our Collaborations

We have been collaborating with various non-profit organizations supporting their important work: Fairventures, Gulagula, and Smiling Gecko. Dedicated to the responsible reforestation of endangered regions, particularly the rainforests of Indonesia's Borneo Island, Fairventures is committed to find solutions that go beyond reforestation and offer long-term social and environmental solutions. By supporting the important work of these NGOs, we are able to offset the emissions we cannot avoid.
