At FOREX, we want to take responsibility and run a long-term business and work for a sustainable common future. With an ethical and moral approach, we take responsibility in our relationships with employees, suppliers and other stakeholders who have a relationship with the company.
Innovation and digitalization are important keywords in our future investment. One of our changes is our new digital way of working, which both contributes to reduced travel within the organization but also facilitates the internal work with inclusion, participation and commitment.
Diversity and inclusion have always been particularly important to FOREX. It is based on the company's attitude to the outside world, a genuine curiosity for new cultures, places and people. Active work with gender equality and diversity has been a success factor for FOREX. Employees with origins from different countries who speak different languages are a strength that allows us to provide better service to our customers.
FOREX has a high proportion of female employees. Of all staff, 62% are women and 38% are men. In the largest management group – the business managers – 55% are women and 45% are men in the Nordic region. In the executive management team in 2024, the distribution was four women and four men. On the board of directors, three out of five regular members are women, including the chair of the board.
In our annual sustainability report, we tell you about the areas we have worked on extra hard during the years of operation.
In the report, you can read about, among other things:
Based on FOREX's operations, we have good opportunities to counteract financial crime. We work actively with regulatory compliance with the aim of counteracting corruption in all its forms. Economic sustainability is also about ensuring financial strength and resilience and being a stable and reliable player in the financial market, as well as offering decent employment conditions.
FOREX’s environmental impact primarily stems from transportation, business travel, and the use of consumables.
Currency transports are mainly carried out by air and road, which contributes to environmental impact through emissions such as carbon dioxide. FOREX strives to reduce this impact by continuously streamlining logistics, reducing the number of transports, and choosing shorter transport routes. The current transport provider also operates with a renewed vehicle fleet and uses HVO fuel.
The goal of The Swedish Financial Coalition is to prevent the Swedish payment system from being misused for the purchase of documented sexual abuse of children, what is called child pornography in the law, and other commercial sexual exploitation of children, and to create public opinion against this criminal activity. The Swedish Financial Coalition includes the Swedish Bankers' Association, financial institutions and technology companies that have taken a stand and are committed to actively combating this type of crime.
The collaboration with ECPAT Sweden is facilitated through FOREX's membership in the Financial Coalition. You can learn more about this important work here: Sweden - ECPAT.

FOREX has a long-standing partnership with Save the Children. Through the collection of coins and banknotes in Save the Children’s donation boxes in our stores, we help raise funds for their work in disaster-affected areas via the Disaster Fund. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and employees, Save the Children can respond quickly when disasters strike, helping to save many more lives. Since 2010, we’ve contributed more than 4 300 000 SEK to the Disaster Fund.
