Insurance Sweden is the industry organisation for insurance companies and occupational pension companies in Sweden. We work to promote favourable operating conditions for our members, strengthen public confidence in the industry and increase awareness of the role of private insurance in society.
Our approximately 50 member companies together account for more than 90 per cent of the Swedish insurance market.
We represent the industry in dialogue with policymakers, public authorities and other stakeholders in Sweden and at EU level. Together with our members, we analyse legislative proposals, recommend improvements to regulation and contribute expertise to government inquiries.
We also compile industry and market statistics, publish reports and organise conferences and training.
Insurance Sweden is led by CEO Christina Lindenius. Our staff work in law, economic analysis and communication.
Insurance Sweden is a member of Insurance Europe and PensionsEurope and takes an active part in their work. We also engage directly with EU institutions, including the European Commission and the European Parliament.
