XM’s CSR efforts show steady investment in wellbeing of Cyprus society

XM, with over 15 years of a strong international presence in online investment services, has established itself not only for its reliability and innovation but also for its consistent, tangible, and measurable commitment to society. Corporate Social Responsibility is an integral part of XM’s strategy, which systematically invests in people and communities, both in Cyprus and internationally, setting a clear standard for responsible entrepreneurship.

XM’s CSR strategy is based on three main pillars: enhancing environmental awareness, education and access to knowledge with an emphasis on skills development, and promoting the health, social well-being, and overall quality of life of citizens.

XM is a positive example of business consciousness, as with consistency and dedication to the values of excellence and social contribution, it is writing its own chapter in responsible entrepreneurship.

A small part of the over 600 initiatives that XM has been developing over time within the framework of its unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility, as listed below, is proof that XM is a positive example of business consciousness, as it consistently and dedicatedly writes its own chapter in responsible entrepreneurship, adhering to the values of excellence and social contribution.

XM and CSR in practice:

€5 million to residents and areas affected by July 2025 wildfires

Support for Cyprus Athletics Federation athletes, 2025–27 European Throwing Cups, Cypriot Youth and Junior Championships
