ZITRO ESTABLISHES ESG COMMITTEE TO ENHANCE SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS
In a significant move towards a more sustainable business model, Zitro announces the creation of an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Corporate Committee, an Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) department, and a dedicated department for Integrated Management Systems (IMS). These specialized teams will lead the company’s transformation towards a more sustainable business model.
The ESG Committee will guide Zitro’s efforts in integrating sustainability practices across all its operations, focusing on environmental responsibility, social impact, and ethical governance. The EHS department oversees Environmental, Health, and Safety concerns, and promotes sustainable practices, as well as social responsibility initiatives and circularity principles.
Under Zitro’s Integrated Management System, four new sub-departments have been established to support these initiatives: the ISO Standards Management Office (IMO), the Climate Change Office (CCO), the Project Management Office (PMO), and the Jira Customization Office (JCO).
The ISO Standards Management Office (IMO) ensures all ESG actions are certified and aligned with relevant ISO standards. The department is responsible for the quality, documentation, maintenance, improvement, and coordination of the ISO standard throughout the company. Additionally, the IMO conducts internal audits on ISO processes and manages ISO audits.
The Climate Change Office (CCO) is dedicated to combating climate change by focusing on calculating and continuously improving Zitro’s emissions footprint. This department conducts regular energy efficiency audits to identify and implement further sustainability measures.
The Product Management Office (PMO) plays a vital role by integrating sustainability factors throughout the software development lifecycle. This includes tracking time and costs associated with sustainability efforts within projects, collaborating with the Climate Change Office and other departments to implement sustainable practices, and facilitating continuous improvement in Zitro’s software footprint.
The Jira Customization Office (JCO) supports Zitro’s sustainability efforts by continuously improving the company’s Sustainable Calculation Platform, a custom carbon footprint tracking solution integrated into Zitro’s product. This platform supports project planning, carbon footprint calculations, and automation of processes based on ISO standards to effectively track and manage the company’s environmental impact.
Establishing the ESG Committee, and both the EHS and IMS departments underscores Zitro’s proactive approach to integrating sustainable practices into its core business operations. By consolidating these efforts under the oversight of the ESG Corporate Committee, Zitro aims to set industry benchmarks for corporate responsibility and sustainable development.
“We are proud to launch these initiatives as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability,” said Johnny Viveiros Ortiz, Founder of Zitro. “With the establishment of the ESG Corporate Committee and the dedicated departments, we are poised to lead by example in our industry, driving meaningful change towards a more sustainable future.”

Groove says it has passed 20,000 titles in its aggregated casino content library, delivered to partners via “one API” and managed through its Groove Command back office.
The company said the catalogue includes slots, instant win games, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style titles, plus “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” Groove added that the portfolio is now live and available to its partners worldwide.
Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said the company focuses on curation rather than chasing volume: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” Says Tourgeman. “We don’t add studios for the sake of volume. We add them because they bring something distinctive: a mechanical innovation, a visual language, a player-engagement hook that our operators can’t get elsewhere. Our partners trust us to curate, not just collect. That trust is why we keep growing, and why the quality curve keeps rising alongside the quantity curve.”
Groove said recent integrations include KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it described as offering “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” The company said the additions were assessed for technical compatibility and “commercial distinctiveness.”
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, positioned the milestone as part of a broader platform pitch: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” said Meltzer. “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement. It says that Groove has become the default engine for operators who want to move fast, compete smart, and never compromise on content depth. But we are not stopping here. The next 20,000 will be even more selective, more integrated, and more aligned with where player behaviour is heading. Volume without curation is noise. We are building a signal.”
