The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) just unveiled the ‘business improvement and standards company, BSI’ as the first Platinum Partner to join Sport Integrity Week 2022.
This two-year deal will see BSI support SIGA during its upcoming flagship thought leadership event taking place from 12 to 16 September 2022.
BSI, the leading certification body in both the United Kingdom and the United States, was appointed by SIGA in 2019 as the independent third party to carry out its innovative and impartial sports governance audit, rating and certification tool. This tool is known as the SIGA Independent Rating and Verification System (SIRVS), with SIGA certifying sports organisations with Bronze, Silver, or Gold, in accordance with its Universal Standards on Sport Integrity.
During SIW2022, BSI will participate in panel discussions on the topic of SIRVS and why it is important, including bespoke sessions on climate change, how to integrate sustainability into the sports industry, and why brands and governments should use SIRVS as a benchmark for their financial investments in the industry.
#SIW2022 will include an in-person element for the first time since it was launched during the covid-19 pandemic with SIGA’s single mission to unite Sport’s leading stakeholders to join its global movement to adopt enhanced governance standards, bringing about greater integrity, transparency, and accountability to the industry.

“We are delighted to announce BSI, the world’s leading certification authority, as the first Platinum Partner of the Sport Integrity Week.
SIGA has a long-standing relation with BSI. A relation built on mutual trust, institutional recognition and a shared belief that Integrity must be at the core of the sporting industry. As we continue our journey to usher Sport into this new culture, this partnership will take our cooperation to new heights and encourages all global brands to effectively place Sport Integrity at the top of their agendas. We look forward to the #SIW2022 and what will be a momentous occasion for Sport and the wider industry.”
Matt Page, Managing Director UK, and Ireland at BSI stated:
“BSI is proud to partner with SIGA to collaborate on the upcoming Sport Integrity Week 2022 and be aligned with an event that champions integrity and values in sport. As part of this collaboration, BSI will be providing an impartial and robust third-party audit process in accordance with SIGA’s Universal Standards on Sport Integrity to build trust, assurance and credibility in the sports industry.
