Integrity & Opportunity in the Business of Sport

Australia’s ‘Green and Gold Decade’ has the potential to excite and engage the world, but also to transform host communities in Australia through the development of sustainable infrastructure and venues, providing a legacy for years to come.

Unfortunately, multiple event hosts around the world have had the legacy of their sport events tarnished by headlines involving bribery, corruption and other corporate criminality.

The UNGCNA hosted a Roundtable on Integrity & Opportunity in the Business of Sport to align with Principle 6 of the G20 High-Level Principles on Tackling Corruption in Sport:

Support sports organisations to enhance governance, transparency and accountability and ensure the integrity of major sports events, including associated
procurement.

The Roundtable benefitted from the participation of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and the Australian Government’s Office for Sport, along with a range of enforcement agencies, sport organisations and businesses.
