Who We Work With

Swedish Customs

In Sweden, punctuality is very important, both when doing business and making social engagements and you should never be late. If you are going to be late for any reason it is polite to phone and let someone know. Being late is seen as poor etiquette.

The all-embracing value of egalitarianism in Swedish society can be seen in the business dress code. Modesty and a low profile are important and to avoid wearing anything flashy because even the most senior executives do not dress more elaborately than average employees.

It is impolite to criticise Sweden, its culture or any other Swedish aspect of life. It is admired when a foreigner has some knowledge of Sweden and offers this in conversation, such as about the language, history or culture.

Business tip:  In business dealings, gifts are rarely given at the beginning of the relationship. Wait for your Swedish partner to give you a gift first. Although exchanging gifts is not common at the beginning of a business relationship, it is appropriate when you are closing your transaction.

Interesting Facts About Sweden

Swedish is known as a North Germanic language derived from Old Norse. It differentiated from the Danish language during the Middle Ages and has since been heavily influenced by other Germanic languages throughout history. 

During the 18th Century, Swedish also borrowed a large number of words from the French language.

While Swedish has many dialects, Standard Swedish became the standardised form of Swedish spoken nationally in Sweden during the 19th and 20th century.

Swedish shares a common history and strong similarities with Danish and Norwegian and is mutually intelligible with these languages. It is often said that by learning Swedish, you’re actually learning three languages.
