The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) has welcomed NARU Consulting Services, a Lisbon-based business development and investment advisory company, as a new member.
The announcement takes place during Sport Integrity Action Month 2026, SIGA’s global campaign mobilising organisations and individuals throughout November to advance integrity in Sport.
The new membership also advances MISSION 100, SIGA’s global initiative to bring together 100 organisations from across Sport and wider society to advance Sport Integrity, as SIGA approaches its 10th anniversary in 2027.
Through its membership, NARU will contribute its international business expertise and networks to support institutional dialogue, responsible investment and the wider adoption of the SIGA Universal Standards on Sport Integrity.
The cooperation framework provides opportunities for NARU to participate in SIGA’s international initiatives, including thought leadership activities and SIGAWomen, and to engage with the SIGA Permanent Committee on Global Business.
Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, SIGA Co-Founder and Global CEO, said:
“Business has a direct stake in the integrity of Sport and a responsibility to help protect it. Investors, sponsors and commercial partners influence how Sport is governed and the standards it upholds. We welcome NARU to SIGA and look forward to drawing on its international expertise and networks to build partnerships that advance our mission and support the wider adoption of the SIGA Universal Standards on Sport Integrity. During Sport Integrity Action Month, we encourage other businesses to join us and turn their commitment to integrity into sustained action.”
Nuno Anahory, CEO of NARU Consulting Services, said:
“Joining SIGA is both an honour and an opportunity to contribute to a global mission that we strongly believe in. At NARU, we see integrity, transparency and good governance not only as fundamental values in Sport, but also as essential foundations for sustainable business and investment.
With over 30 years of international experience and an extensive network spanning Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Brazil, we are committed to bringing our expertise, relationships and business development capabilities to SIGA’s global community. From our base in Lisbon, we also see a unique opportunity to strengthen Portugal’s role as a bridge between international markets, support SIGA’s continued growth across Europe and beyond, and turn shared values into meaningful partnerships and tangible opportunities.”
