THE SIGA UNIVERSAL STANDARDS ON SPORT INTEGRITY
SIGA is a global multi-stakeholder coalition of like-minded organisations that bring together all sides of the Sport Industry to push for Sport Integrity to prevent incidents of corruption.
The heart of SIGA’s reform agenda is out in a set of Universal Standards on Sport Integrity. They cover four key areas:
- Good Governance in Sport
- Financial Integrity and Transparency
- Sport Betting Integrity
- Youth Development and Protection
Significantly, these standards are not to be kept in a drawer, they have been created to be implemented.
SIGA carries out a range of training, education, and capacity building to supports sports organisations’ continuous governance journeys to prepare them to go through the SIGA Independent Rating and Verification System otherwise known as SIRVS.
SIRVS is a service to the Sport Industry. It’s a positive effort to enhance standards across the world of Sport, to safeguard its values, to ensure a viable and sustainable industry that is worthy of the public’s trust.
