BIG4SPORTS ELECTRONIC HANDBOOK OF INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES ON CORPORATE AND PUBLIC GOVERNANCE

BIG4SPORTS Electronic Handbook of International Best Practices on Corporate and Public Governance

Co-financed by the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ programme, BIG4SPORTS is a group of 9 sports’ organisations (clubs, clusters, institutions) including ICSS INSIGHT, launched in January 2019 and coordinated by the European Platform for Sport Innovation (EPSI). It aims at finding solutions to better connect public and private financial sources with sports’ organisations thanks to innovative programmes of good governance for sport.

This project will identify and develop best practices in favour of good governance within sports’ organisation in Europe, in particular clubs and grassroots sport. Ultimately the objective is to increase financial supports coming from public and private partners towards sports’ organisations.

BIG4SPORTS chose a collaborative and multi-sectorial approach, gathering public authorities, sport business stakeholders and sports’ organisations. The involvement of several sports’ clubs in the project will allow to guarantee the effective implementation of good governance schemes elaborated by BIG4SPORTS in live situation. In a second time, the group will work on communicating these schemes and best practices largely. Everything will be summed up in a final report due in June 2021.
