Meaningful Stakholder Engagement Tool for Sport
Are you a sports organisation or event looking to align with international human rights standards in your activities?
If so, you should be meaningfully engaging with your key stakeholders and find ways to integrate the views of those (potentially) impacted by your activities in your decision-making.
This tool was designed by the Centre for Sport and Human Rights (CSHR), with the support of ThinkSport and Innosuisse, to guide you in this process.
DISCOVERING THE TOOL
Why this tool?
In October 2023, during an ideation session organised by the Centre and ThinkSport (as part of the Innovation Booster - Sport & Physical Activity powered by Innosuisse), participants recognised that stakeholder engagement could lead to adverse consequences if not aligned with standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) or the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (OECD Guidelines).
Participants highlighted the need to create a sport-specific tool to help organisations conduct meaningful stakeholder engagement in line with human rights standards, societal expectations, emerging industry good practice and new regulatory demands.
