Pareto Securities is an independent full-service investment bank with a leading position in the Nordic capital markets, a strong international presence, and global placing power. Pareto Securities is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with over 435 employees in offices in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, the USA, Singapore and Australia.
Pareto Securities supports an active lifestyle through the Pareto Active initiative. The initiative started because we believe physical activity positively impacts work performance and other aspects of life. Exercise contributes to improved physical health, enhanced mental health, increased energy levels, and in productivity. Therefore, promoting exercise is a logical goal for Pareto Securities.
The Pareto Active initiative was introduced in 2019 with broad support from the entire organisation. As a part of the initiative, we offer weekly activities at our offices. These activities vary throughout the year and include group sessions as a regular part of our workday such as CrossFit sessions with Barry’s Bootcamp, CrossFit with Camp Myrvold, running sessions with Kasper Fosser, yoga sessions, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, football training, ice skating, and padel tennis.
We are also actively involved in several external events, and support athletes and teams. For example, we participated with several teams in Holmenkollstafetten (relay running) and with several employees in Holmenkollmarsjen (cross-country skiing). In both Frankfurt and New York, we organised employee participation in the annual J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge (running). For the upcoming year, our Stockholm office will organize an event in conjunction with the Stockholm Half Marathon.
Through these various initiatives, our employees can experience joy, inspiration, and social community.
In 2024, our employees logged more than 50,000 hours of activities in our internal activity systems, a more than 20% increase compared to 2023.
