SIGA, the world’s leading independent coalition in the field of sports governance and integrity, is proud to announce Mastercard as its Presenting Partner for the 2020 SIGA Sport Integrity Forum.
The SIGA Sport Integrity Forum will take place on March 24th, 2020, between 09.00 and 18.00 at the New York Athletic Club (180 Central Park South, New York, NY, 10019).
Speaking on behalf of Mastercard, Michael Robichaud, Senior Vice President in charge of Global Sponsorships, stated: “Integrity is at the heart of Mastercard’s business values and global sport sponsorship strategy. However, this only makes commercial sense if the industry is well-governed, transparent, and retains its integrity. This is why we are proud founding members of SIGA and why we are Presenting Partners of the SIGA Sport Integrity Forum: the place where business and sport meet to address the integrity challenges facing the industry, as well as the solutions.”
“We are delighted to have Mastercard as Presenting Partner of our Sport Integrity Forum,” stated SIGA CEO Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros. “Mastercard is one of our founding members. We are aligned, and more committed than ever to usher the sporting industry into a new era, where sport is governed and conducts its operations under the highest integrity standards, for the benefit of all citizens. It is with the continued support and active engagement of Mastercard, and other global sponsors, that we, SIGA, are making this happen”.
