  Basic Human Rights Risk Assessment Sport

Your business partners, future talents and clients may already be asking about your human rights management practices. Recent legislative developments (e.g. UK Modern Slavery Act) and benchmarking initiatives such as the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark illustrate that governments, consumers, investors and civil society expect companies to “know and show” how they respect human rights, manage their negative impacts and enhance positive ones. In this regard, also sporting organizations need to act now and adopt to the ethical standards of our time.

Inspiration Human rights are not optional! COVID-19 shows that the most deprived people in the world were extremely harmed by the pandemic. In this regard, sporting organizations are accountable for actions and decisions concerning the production, sourcing, product design, or distribution.

www.presful.org Check out our new online platform that matches human rights considerations with the sporting industry. Our mission is to embed human rights considerations into every decision of a sporting organization.

Challenges The policy field is very diverse. We acquired research from five different countries in the team. To find a collaborative approach and to standardize our research was one of the challenges we faced.

Accomplishments The project PRESFUL team communicated closely during the challenge. Through diverse online meetings and digital services, we managed to put together scalable solutions and intellectual outputs.

Learnings Websites are normally not built in a day!

What's next Extending the research in other countries and sports. Collect live data from cases in the sporting industry. Put human rights on top of the agenda!
