XTB’s German branch is strengthening its presence in industry structures. In 2024, the company joined the German CFD Association (CFD-Verband) and is now further increasing its involvement through representation on its management board.
Jens Chrzanowski, Country Manager of XTB Germany, has been elected to the Association’s board. In this role, he represents XTB and contributes his many years of experience in the financial market.
The CFD Association brings together CFD providers operating in Germany and serves as a platform for knowledge exchange and cooperation in regulatory and market-related areas. The organization participates in discussions on regulations affecting the market, including topics such as taxation and the treatment of investment losses.
The Association also publishes market data and analyses related to the use of CFD instruments. These materials are available to investors, media, and market participants and are intended for informational purposes.
Its activities also include educational initiatives that address both the opportunities and risks associated with CFD trading, highlighting that these instruments are intended for individuals with appropriate knowledge and experience.
“Membership in the CFD Association is an important step in further developing our presence in the German market.” says Jens Chrzanowski, who represents XTB within the organization.
XTB’s participation at board level reflects its active involvement in industry initiatives and enables ongoing exchange of experience with other market participants.

In June 2025, XTB employees took part in the Trust Index Survey conducted by Great Place To Work. The survey is based entirely on anonymous employee feedback about their workplace experiences. Based on the results, XTB received the Great Place To Work certification.
In the survey, 88% of employees stated that XTB is a great place to work. This result is 4 percentage points higher than the national average for large companies in Poland, according to the survey methodology.
This recognition is particularly meaningful to us because it is based on employees’ opinions and it reflects how employees assess their day-to-day experiences, including collaboration, communication, and project work.
– says Monika Charytonik, Head of Human Capital Management at XTB.
The survey was conducted among XTB employees in June 2025 and covered topics such as teamwork, communication and overall workplace experience.
XTB regularly carries out internal initiatives aimed at supporting collaboration and the development of the work environment.
We would like to thank all employees for taking part in the survey and sharing their feedback.

In 2024, southwestern Poland experienced a catastrophic flood that inundated hundreds of households, causing material losses estimated at over PLN 5 billion. XTB Foundation joined the nationwide social campaign “Postcards from the Flood,” which aimed to support local tourism, by engaging in a mentoring and grant program for entrepreneurs from the affected areas.
As part of the initiative launched by AWX agency, 600,000 postcards were sent to residents across Poland, encouraging visits to the regions impacted by the flood. The postcards were printed at a printing house located in one of the flood-affected areas, further supporting local businesses.
The “Business Restart” mentoring and grant program provides entrepreneurs with financial, educational, logistical, and legal support. XTB Foundation participates in the program by offering grants for projects related to ecology, environmental care, and sustainable development. These efforts aim to help local businesses rebuild and grow after the natural disaster.

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, e.g., 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. 🍋

On Wednesday, May 20, 2025, employees of XTB’s Headquarters participated in the “Clean River” initiative organized by the Clean River Foundation in cooperation with the XTB Foundation.
The activities took place on the banks of the Narew River near Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. As part of the initiative, volunteers collected waste from a designated section of the area. In total, approximately 1,500 kilograms of waste were collected, including bottles, cans, and other municipal debris.
A group of employees took part in the event on a voluntary basis. The initiative was part of recurring volunteer activities in which company employees regularly engage.
During the event, a lecture on waste reuse was held, along with a presentation of works created from materials collected during the clean-up.
Activities of this kind support local clean-up initiatives. Their effects are local in nature and depend, among other factors, on the continued maintenance of the area and the scale of similar future actions.
Volunteer activities are one element of the company’s organizational initiatives. XTB does not publish data on the long-term environmental impact of this specific initiative.
In May 2025, employees across the XTB Group once again participated in the “Two Hours for Family” initiative, which promotes a balance between professional and personal life. On a designated day, employees finished work two hours early to spend additional time with their families.
In 2025, all XTB offices worldwide joined the initiative. In most locations, employees left work early on Friday, May 16, taking advantage of the extra time for personal life.
XTB Group has previously served as an ambassador for the #2h4family campaign and received recognition for promoting the initiative within its offices. In 2024, the company’s activities in this area also included an event promoting work-life balance during Family Day celebrations at the Warsaw XTB office.
