In October 2023, our employees - volunteers met with representatives of the Forever Forest Foundation to plant trees and create the "Forever Forest of XTB."

"Forever Forest of XTB" ("Las na Zawsze XTB") was planted in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, in Mieleszkowce Pawłowickie about 60 km northeast of Białystok and about 250 km from Warsaw.

A group of over 40 of our employees - volunteers, led by specialists from the Forever Forest Foundation, planted 2,300 trees on an area of approximately 1,200 m². The work was preceded by a lecture on the role of forests in our lives and a brief training on methods of planting young trees.

This was a valuable experience both, educationally and as a part of a team building. This initiative showed us as well that commitment and collective action bring may bring the greatest changes for the environment.

Facing challenges related to climate change and environmental degradation, the need to implement eco-friendly solutions in offices is becoming increasingly urgent. Green offices are not just a trend but a necessity that benefits both the planet and employees. Therefore, we have developed eco-friendly office practices and taken concrete steps to make the workplace more environmentally friendly.

At the beginning of 2022, we introduced to our employees a series of solutions that benefit both the environment and employees at the XTB headquarters in Warsaw:

1. Waste segregation - waste segregation bins with instructions were placed in the kitchens of the XTB headquarters.
2. Collection of plastic caps - containers for plastic caps were placed in the kitchens, along with information about the campaign being supported.
3. Food sharing - a designated shelf in each refrigerator for food exchange between employees.
4. Elimination of plastic accessories in favor of biodegradable and compostable dishes.
5. We moved the XTB S.A. headquarters to the Skyliner building, which was built in a sustainable construction standards.

The eco-friendly solutions we will implement in the office have been gathered in an internal environmental education program for XTB employees called "Natural Investment."

We proudly present XTB's first ESG report for 2021, marking a milestone in the company's pursuit of sustainable development and social responsibility.

At the beginning of March 2022, we published our first Non-financial report for 2021, prepared in accordance with the SIN standard. This report details our actions and achievements in the areas of environmental, social and corporate governance, highlighting the company's commitment to creating a positive impact on its surroundings.

In January 2022, we decided to change the location of XTB's headquarters. The new headquarters is located in the modern Skyliner building in Warsaw and has a BREEAM Excellent Certificate.

Since January 2022, the XTB S.A. headquarters has been located in the Skyliner office building in Warsaw, which was built to sustainable construction standards and:

• has a BREEAM Excellent Certificate;
• uses energy from renewable sources and has obtained an innogy Polska certificate from the E.ON Group confirming the purchase of guarantees of origin for electricity from renewable energy installations;
• its facade has above-average thermal and acoustic insulation coefficients, which means it does not overheat in summer and does not cool down in winter. The ecological reflectivity helps birds avoid collisions with the building;
• has divided elevators into three zones, optimizing waiting time and energy consumption; during elevator braking, additional energy recovery is achieved;
• its air conditioning system is based on cooling towers with an added water treatment installation (the most economical and ecological solution adapted to Polish weather conditions);
• has 100% energy-efficient LED lighting. Motion sensor lighting is used in common areas;
• uses motion sensors for responsible water management in restrooms;
• has modern systems that enable detailed monitoring of media consumption.

We believe that thanks to modern technologies and equipment, the new headquarters will allow us to better integrate ESG criteria into our operations, making our office environmentally sustainable.

In 2021, the we took a significant step towards sustainable development by implementing our first ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) strategy. This initiative aims not only to minimize the XTB's impact on the environment but also to promote social responsibility and improve corporate governance.

To prepare the first ESG Strategy, operational processes at XTB were reviewed and areas where XTB can contribute to achieving E, S, and G goals were identified. As part of our ESG strategy, we set the direction in which we want to develop and took specific actions to benefit our stakeholders, the environment, XTB and its employees.

We took another step towards promoting equality and inclusivity at XTB by signing the Diversity Charter. This commitment underscores our efforts to create an open and tolerant work environment where every employee, regardless of gender, age, origin or beliefs, can feel respected and valued.

On October 20, 2021, as a confirmation of our willingness to strive to strengthen diversity in XTB, we signed the Diversity Charter coordinated by the Responsible Business Forum, thereby committing to actively counteract discrimination, implement an equal treatment policy and manage diversity in the workplace.

The diversity of our team is one of the key elements of our success. We want to support the diversity of our employees and create diverse project teams.

XTB introduced a new initiative called "Natural Investment", aimed at promoting sustainable
development and ecological responsibility among XTB employees.

In 2021, XTB developed and implemented the internal ecological program "Natural Investment," which aims to educate employees about environmental protection, support pro-ecological actions and implement sustainable practices into the company's daily operations. We are starting the implementation of initiatives that are to support our strategic needs in this area.

XTB is pleased to announce the establishment of the XTB Foundation, whose mission is to support social, educational, and charitable initiatives. The Foundation aims not only to help those in need but also to promote financial education and raise social awareness.

On December 23, 2020, the XTB Foundation was registered, with the goal of supporting social initiatives, achieving ESG objectives, and engaging in financial and charitable education activities.
