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.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.
The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.
Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:
“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.
“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.
“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”
Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.
“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.
ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
