The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (Svenskt Näringsliv) is Sweden’s largest and most influential business federation representing around 50 member organizations and 60,000 member companies with some 1.5 million employees. As the voice of Sweden's employers, it works to create the best possible conditions for business and competitiveness in Sweden, engaging in policy advocacy, labour market dialogue and public debate at both national and international level.

The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise is committed to advancing Sweden’s transition towards a sustainable, circular, and competitive economy. As Sweden’s largest business federation, representing around 60,000 companies, the Confederation plays a pivotal role in shaping national and EU-level policies that support climate action, resource efficiency, and innovation.

The Confederation actively promotes the adoption of circular business models and the efficient use of resources across all sectors. It advocates for policies that retain the value of products and materials in the economy for as long as possible, while minimising waste and reducing pressure on biodiversity and the climate. Recent initiatives include reports and recommendations on how Sweden can become more circular, emphasising the importance of leadership, incentives, and favourable market conditions for sustainable growth.

In Japan, the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise places strong emphasis on building collaborative relationships with Japanese stakeholders, including companies, policymakers, and researchers. By working closely with local partners, the Confederation helps to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions that support the green transition. Through ongoing dialogue and joint initiatives, the Confederation strengthens the impact of Swedish sustainability expertise in Japan and contributes to advancing climate action and resource efficiency in both countries.
