Interactive Brokers Group Inc

As of December 31, 2024, we had 2,998 employees across 28 locations globally. We aim to attract, develop and retain employees to drive our business forward. To help our employees thrive at work and at home, we offer industry-leading benefits programs, including paid leave time for all parents, adoption and fertility support, childcare support, mental health services, and healthcare travel reimbursement. In the U.S., we fund healthcare premiums at no cost to employees.

Social Initiatives

We conducted an employee experience survey and had a 76% companywide participation rate. The results indicated high engagement and confidence from our employees in our business. As a follow up to the survey, we are taking several actions including enhanced leadership communications and additional opportunities for career development. We believe these changes will continue to foster a collaborative team and strong culture.

Our Mentorship Program fosters connection and development. This program is open to all employees globally, and each mentor is carefully selected by our talent team to complement the mentee’s unique development profile. The mentors were provided training and guidance on how to best support their mentees.

Our 2024 Intern Class has representation from a range of universities. We created an extensive program for the interns to allow them to network within and outside the Company.

We continue to support our employees and the communities where we operate. This year, we donated to the Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County in Connecticut, which is where our headquarters are located. Worldwide, we have supported numerous causes that are important to our communities and our employees. Our employees continue to donate to causes of their choosing through our corporate giving program, which is matched by the Company.

Employee and Leadership Development

We focus on equipping employees with essential skills for current and future success. We continue investing in our IBKR Training Portal, now hosting over 1,000 on-demand and live courses, alongside specialized external training providers and certification bodies. In addition to personal development programs, all employees complete a robust regulatory training curriculum. Topics include Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Sexual Harassment, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Sanctions, Cybersecurity, and Data Privacy.

This year we have strengthened our management training curriculum by addressing core leadership competencies and by focusing on our culture. Our offering included new manager development programs, a 360-degree feedback system, and focused training in communication and project management.

Our Workforce

Our workforce is important to us, which is why we prioritize a merit-based culture. We are dedicated to attracting and developing a global workforce from multiple communities around the world. We support employee resource groups and social media communities within the Company.

Sustainability

Our sustainability initiatives are driven by the strategies led by our Board and are implemented throughout the Company. We expanded our Sustainability Report, focusing on the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”), which outlines our approach to climate related risk under governance, strategy, risk management and metrics.

The contents of our Sustainability Report are not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any other report or document we file with the SEC. Our Sustainability Report can be found on our website.

In 2024, we assessed our Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) under Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and initiated our Scope 3 emission capturing waste generated in operation and upstream leased assets.

All our offices have completed an environmental review to assess current and best practices for energy, water and waste management. We also procured renewable power sources for all our offices through the purchase of renewable energy certificates. We use third-party providers for data centers. Globally, where possible, our data centers use renewable power provided directly through the landlord or via renewable energy certificates.
