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.

Helma Lodders, who has held the position of chair at the Licensed Dutch Online Gaming Providers (VNLOK) since its inception in 2021, has announced her decision to step down. Lodders’ term expires and she has chosen not to extend it. Current board member Björn Fuchs was unanimously elected as the new chair on the recommendation of the board. He will combine this role with his employment as Chief Digital Officer at Fair Play Casino.

In the run-up to the opening of the online gambling market, Lodders helped shape the trade association. Under her leadership, VNLOK has grown into a reliable discussion partner for politics, government, media and social organisations involved in gambling policy. In addition to representing the interests of the members, her efforts have also helped to place the extensive illegal gambling market high on the political and social agenda.

Helma Lodders said: “Since the establishment of VNLOK, I have fulfilled the role of chairman with pleasure. It was a period of political and social turbulence. At the same time, I have always kept the goal in mind; to work on a safe, reliable and controllable market with the right care for vulnerable players. Now that my term is ending, the time has come to pass the baton. I thank my fellow directors for the trust they have placed in me and have every confidence in Björn Fuchs as my successor.”

The board therefore expresses its appreciation for the efforts that Helma has made since the foundation.”

“I look forward to my new role as chairman of VNLOK with pride and confidence. I will get started with great enthusiasm and, together with the members, will commit myself to the importance of a well-regulated online gambling market,” Björn Fuchs said.
