In the fall, the XTB Foundation returns to high schools with an educational program on financial management and investing. In the edition that will start in September, we will meet with almost 5,000 students all over Poland, recruitment for the next one was closed in just over a week.
Already in September, mentors - financial market practitioners will start workshops in high schools and introduce high school students to the secrets of the stock exchange, financial management, investing and building good financial habits. Right after them, Q&A sessions with XTB experts will take place. Thanks to this, young people will have the opportunity to ask any question about financial markets to people who know everything about it.
We will tell participants about the principles of financial management, building good habits, we will calculate compound interest and consider which items in the budget are whims and which are actual needs. We are constantly working to bring young people closer to the world of finance and convince them that everyone can be financially safe.
The program is run by the XTB Foundation in cooperation with the Trampki na Giełdzie Foundation. Its first edition was inaugurated in June 2024 and was met with great enthusiasm and commitment from participants. More about the first edition XTB Foundation cooperates with "Trampki na Giełdzie"
In 2024, southwestern Poland was hit by a catastrophic flood. Hundreds of farms were flooded, causing huge material losses exceeding PLN 5 billion. The XTB Foundation also joined the nationwide social campaign "Postcards from the flood" activating tourism in these areas, co-creating a mentoring and grant program for entrepreneurs in the affected areas.
As part of the campaign initiated by the AWX marketing agency 600 000 postcards - invitations were sent to Polish residents to encourage them to rest in the south-western regions of the country, which were hit by a huge flood tragedy in 2024. The campaign also shows how you can effectively combine the forces of business, local governments, marketing and ESG from the very beginning - the title postcards were printed in a printing house directly affected by the flood.
The postcard campaign is accompanied by a mentoring and grant program “Biznes Restart”, which aims to provide local entrepreneurs with financial, educational, logistical and legal support. The XTB Foundation has joined this program, offering grants for implementing innovations in areas related to ecology, care for the natural environment and sustainable development. This is our contribution to supporting local Polish business, which we understand very well as a domestic Polish brand.
Each of us can also help individually by sharing information about the campaign with others, sharing it on our social media or spending a vacation or weekend in picturesque areas that need tourist support.

At the end of May, we celebrated Family Children's Day at the XTB office in Warsaw! 🎈 Many attractions and delicacies awaited the youngest guests and their parents, which made the time spent together at their parents' workplace more pleasant.
At XTB, we know well how important family relationships are and we consciously support the work-life balance of our employees. On the occasion of this year's Children's Day, we decided to once again transform our office in Warsaw into a place for meetings and fun, inviting employees and their children to celebrate together on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.🎈
This year, every parent working at XTB headquarters could independently plan a day with their children in the office. The planned attractions were adapted to the children's age. Older children could take part in programming classes and DIY workshops as part of the Inner Power program, led by Małgorzata Klimkiewicz - a graphic designer at XTB.
We invited younger children to the smart play zone in Smart Kids Planet - a modern educational and entertainment center for children, combining fun with learning. There, they could, for example, play smart shopping without plastic or responsible waste segregation. After the workshops and fun, each parent could take their child on a tour of the shared office spaces or relax in our chill room, playing board games, chess or table football. 🎲
Moreover in the XTB kitchen we served our guests with waffles, ice cream, popcorn and refreshing fruit lemonades. 🍋
We thank all participants for their presence and celebrating this special day together. We invite you to watch a short photo report below, authored by Monika Cieplucha.
On Wednesday, May 20, 2025, willing employees from the XTB Headquarters gathered to take part in the "Clean River" campaign organized by the Clean River Foundation in cooperation with the XTB Foundation. As part of the operation, volunteers managed to clean the Narew bank and collect 1,500 kilograms of waste!
Traditionally, like every year, XTB x XTB Foundation joined forces to do something useful for the natural environment. In previous years, we planted and cleaned the forest, this year we decided to clean the Narew riverbank near Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. On Wednesday morning, a group of volunteers equipped with XTB T-shirts, sandwiches, gloves and bags went into action and together collected over a ton of waste. Among the abandoned items, bottles, cans, used barbecue sets dominated, but broken buckets, tires and shoes were also found. The success of the action was also supported by the weather, which allowed the participants to rest after hard work and enjoy the charms of nature in the rays of the May sun.
At XTB, we promote the idea of employee volunteering and are eager to engage in similar initiatives. In addition to their positive impact on the natural environment, they also have an integrative value. Usually, several dozen of our employees participate in them, and this is how we spend valuable time together, get to know each other better and talk about topics not only related to work.
- comments Sylwia Kozoń, President of XTB Foundation
There is no better integration than going out the office and doing something good together! During several hours of action, our XTB team collected 102 bags of garbage from the picturesque coast of the Narew River. Cleaning up over a ton of waste gives us incredible satisfaction and motivates us to continue our work.
- adds Małgorzata Radziwanowska, XTB Foundation
The campaign was accompanied by an educational lecture in the spirit of “zero-waste”, on the possibilities of reusing waste to give it a new life and a presentation of works of art created from found rubbish and treasures of nature.
XTB’s consistently implemented volunteering activities are an element of the XTB Group’s ESG Strategy for 2024-2027 and allow us to make a valuable contribution to climate protection with the huge commitment of our team.
In May 2025, employees of XTB Group companies once again celebrated the "Two Hours for the Family" campaign promoting the idea of work-life balance. As part of the event, on a selected day, they finished work symbolically two hours earlier to spend extra time with their loved ones.
We believe that business is a key force for social change in work culture and lifestyle, and important social goals cannot be achieved without cooperation. That is why, once again in 2025, we have become involved in the celebration of the international initiative "Two Hours for the Family". The event is not only enthusiastically received by our employees, but also expresses XTB's solidarity in the face of the need to build valuable interpersonal relationships and support balance, or the interpenetration of professional and private life.
- comments Monika Charytonik, Director of Human Capital Management at XTB S.A.
For the second year in a row, all XTB offices around the world joined the campaign - employees finished work two hours earlier on Friday, May 16 to spend time with their loved ones.
Let us recall that in previous editions, the XTB Group became an ambassador for the campaign and received an award for popularizing #2h4family in its organizational units around the world. We were also recognized for organizing an event promoting work-life balance in 2024 during the Family Children's Day celebrations at the XTB office in Warsaw.

Not only the departments of the XTB S.A. Headquarters were involved in ESG activities, but also branches and foreign companies that actively participated in the preparation of ESG reporting, got involved in initiatives and initiated them themselves.
The past year was full of challenges and activities in the area of sustainability. We updated the ESG Strategy, our mission and vision, but also strengthened the activities of the XTB Foundation in the area of youth education. Our sustainability reporting transformed towards compliance with uniform reporting standards and for the first time was certified by an independent auditing company. I would like to thank investors for appreciating our activities and all employees involved in the sustainable development of the XTB Group.

The XTB Foundation is a patron of important educational initiatives organized by universities to support the education of young people in Polish schools. It began 2025 with involvement in two projects, where, in addition to co-financing initiatives, Foundation created a space for learning about XTB solutions and education with XTB experts.
In the first quarter of 2025, the XTB Foundation became a strategic partner of two educational initiatives. In February, we supported a multi-day conference of the Stock Exchange Academy organized by the Investor Club operating at the Warsaw School of Economics. In addition to funding, we also contributed to the event: Filip Kaczmarzyk, Member of the Management Board of XTB S.A., took part in a debate on the functioning of the stock exchange and on the stock exchange in times of uncertainty, Michał Stajniak, Deputy Director of the Analysis Department, gave a lecture on indicator analysis.
In March this year, another edition of the Young Stock Investor competition took place, organized by the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the Koszalin University of Technology. The XTB Foundation was the Strategic Partner and main sponsor of the event. This is a competition addressed to high school students from all over Poland, this year about 700 people took part. The final stage takes place on-site at the Koszalin University of Technology and on the XTB xstation5 demo trading platform. The students are tasked with placing 10 buy-sell orders for shares and ETFs and achieving the best possible result. This year, the podium was dominated by students from the Complex of Mechanical and Computer Science Schools named after prof. Henryk Mierzejewski in Lębork - the first three places were taken by:
🥇 Krzysztof Tomkowicz ex aequo with Jędrzej Orczyński (VI High School in Koszalin)

Congratulations for all participants, finalists and winners!
On Friday, March 21, 2025, the XTB Group published its first report in accordance with the CSRD Directive and ESRS reporting standards. The entire process was supported by analyses and appropriate preparations and was subject to limited assurance certification by an independent audit company.
The XTB Group began reporting on sustainability in 2022, when it published its first ESG report for 2021. This was a breakthrough event that allowed for a broader discussion on the needs and opportunities of XTB in the ESG area. It was then that the first ESG Strategy was created, which summarized the activities in a cross-sectional manner, but also drew attention to their most important aspects.
Without a doubt, year 2024 can be considered a milestone on our path towards sustainability. Thanks to the ESG activities initiated at XTB many years ago, we were able to verify and update our ESG Strategy in a thoughtful and responsible manner, include sustainability in XTB's mission and vision with full responsibility, strengthen the activities of the XTB Foundation, which carries an educational message to young people from Polish schools, and prepare for changes in, no longer ESG, but sustainability reporting.
In the XTB Group Sustainability Statement in accordance with the CSRD Directive and ESRS standards, we presented XTB from a brand new approach. This ambitious and complex project allowed us to delve even deeper into the intricacies of our activities and look at them from a different perspective.
Shortly summarizing:
- we based the statement on the double materiality assessment of the XTB Group, as part of which we conducted a survey, workshops and in-depth interviews with our stakeholders
- we managed an analysis of climate opportunities and risks and a scenario analysis, which also helped us create the XTB Climate Policy
- we created a tailor-made solution for XTB to collect data from all branches and companies of the Group, which allowed us to integrate different needs and consolidate them successfully
- we identified all emission sources and for the first time calculated the full carbon footprint of the XTB Group covering all Scope 3 categories in our operations with one of the most experienced partners on the market - the Climate & Strategy Polska Foundation
- for the first time we calculated the pay gap for the entire XTB Group
- we comprehensively analyzed the financial, non-financial taxonomy and minimum guarantees.
These are selected elements of the Statement, which is a tool for reliable collection in the right order of the actions and processes actually undertaken by the XTB Group. However, the publication would not have been possible without the involvement of the Management Board of XTB S.A., representatives of the XTB Headquarters, branches and companies of the XTB Group, operational work of ESG and IR teams, and the foundations of responsible business built over the years.
Another milestone achieved motivates us to further improve the reporting process so as to provide you with increasingly better quality data and to summarize the actions we undertake even more transparently.
