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, XTB developed and implemented its first ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) strategy. The document sets out the framework for the company’s approach to environmental, social, and corporate governance matters.
As part of the work on the strategy, a review of operational processes was conducted and areas related to XTB’s activities were identified in the context of E, S, and G. The strategy defines directions for action and organizes initiatives undertaken in these areas.
Activities carried out under the strategy are organizational and operational in nature. Their scope and outcomes depend on many factors, including available data, adopted methodologies, and the manner in which specific initiatives are implemented. The strategy does not constitute a standalone indicator of the company’s environmental or social impact.
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.
In 2021, XTB developed and implemented an internal program called “Natural Investment.” The program is educational in nature and is aimed at employees. Its purpose is to provide information on environmental issues and to showcase example practices related to resource management and the daily organization of work in the office.
As part of the program, internal initiatives were launched focusing on office organization and informing employees about opportunities to engage in pro-environmental activities. The program does not constitute an independent environmental impact metric for the company’s operations, nor is it presented as an assessment of the achievement of strategic goals.
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.
