Sports governance

GoodCorporation has worked with leading sports governing bodies to help strengthen and improve the effectiveness of their governance structure. We use our Sports Governance Framework to help governing bodies maintain the integrity of their organisations on and off the field.

The framework covers the broad spectrum of governance and management structures needed to ensure that good practice is applied throughout an organisation, instilling fairness and transparency in all its dealings to prevent misconduct.

Based on our business ethics frameworks, the Sports Governance Framework enables governing bodies to monitor how effectively their principles are being implemented and benchmark their success against other organisations.

Additionally, the Framework covers ethical management of events, media, and sponsorship rights, as well as putting processes in place to hold member organisations to the organisation’s governance and ethical standards. The framework can be used to develop fair and transparent procurement processes and to ensure government and regulatory interactions are managed with clear policies. Additionally, the framework includes monitoring and review systems to maintain its effectiveness and address any concerns.
