The Swedish Export Credit Corporation (SEK) is a commercially driven, state-owned credit institution that finances Swedish exporters, their subcontractors and subsidiaries, as well as international buyers of Swedish goods and services. Since 1962, SEK has provided financing that has enabled hundreds of Swedish companies to grow by increasing their production, completing acquisitions, increasing their number of employees, and selling goods and services to customers across the globe. SEK is part of the Swedish export credit system and operates globally, with lending in approximately 60 countries. SEK offers long-term funding solutions, often combined with a guarantee from the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN).
Lending comprises the foundation of SEK’s operations and is the part where SEK exerts the greatest opportunity to contribute by allocating capital to address society’s sustainability challenges. SEK has ceased supporting fossil-related activities and has introduced new products and services designed to promote and scale up the financing of climate solutions. As a state-owned company, SEK strives to act in an exemplary manner within its industry on environment and climate issues. In line with the Paris Agreement, SEK has set long-term climate goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045 at the latest.
