Sustainability in internal work

According to the Sveriges Riksbank Act (Chapter 1, Article 9), the Riksbank shall identify threats to sustainable development that affect the conditions for its operations. The Riksbank therefore needs to take into account the risks posed by the consequences of climate change in its operational, internal sustainability work.

The Riksbank, like all organisations, needs to work continuously to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that its own activities give rise to, and to generate as little negative impact on the environment and people as possible.

The Riksbank shall also be a workplace that gives employees the opportunity to contribute to sustainable social development. For example, this can mean good possibilities to hold meetings online and to consider sustainability aspects when carrying out procurements.

Sustainability policy

The Riksbank has a sustainability policy that states that the Riksbank, as far as is possible and compatible with the tasks and duties of the bank, shall work preventively and promote long-term, sustainable development.
