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.”
