🟢'G' for 'Governance' - The Foundation of Success: Good Governance in Sports Clubs🟢 Effective governance is the cornerstone of a successful sports club. It ensures transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct, laying the groundwork for long-term sustainability and growth. Here are three strategies to uphold good governance: 1️⃣ **Establish Clear Policies and Procedures**: Define and document clear policies and procedures for decision-making, financial management, and conflict resolution. Having transparent guidelines in place fosters trust among stakeholders and mitigates risks. 2️⃣ **Diverse and Independent Board**: Form a diverse and independent board of directors with a mix of skills, expertise, and backgrounds. Avoid conflicts of interest and ensure that board members act in the best interests of the club and its stakeholders. 3️⃣ **Regular Monitoring and Evaluation**: Implement mechanisms for regular monitoring and evaluation of governance practices. Conduct periodic assessments, audits, and reviews to identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with regulations. Good governance is not just a box to tick; it's a commitment to integrity, fairness, and excellence in all aspects of club operations. By prioritising governance, sports clubs can build a solid foundation for success and earn the trust of fans, sponsors, and the community.

With the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) set to impact around 150 football clubs across Europe, the European Club Association (ECA) has unveiled a comprehensive sustainability strategy. This move aims to support clubs in adhering to new regulations while promoting sustainable practices both on and off the pitch. Here’s what clubs need to know and the steps ahead. 1: What does the new sustainability strategy entail for European football clubs? The ECA’s strategy provides practical support and knowledge-sharing opportunities to help clubs comply with the CSRD. This includes developing guidelines, training courses, and a dedicated CSRD Task Force, ensuring clubs are prepared to meet disclosure requirements by the 2027 deadline. 2: How will the CSRD impact clubs of different sizes and structures? Clubs with over €40 million in turnover, €20 million in balance sheet, or more than 250 employees must publish sustainability reports by the 2025/26 season. Smaller clubs will start with less stringent requirements in the following season, emphasizing a phased approach to compliance. 3: What role can clubs play in promoting sustainability beyond compliance? Clubs are encouraged to lead by example, influencing fans and communities to adopt sustainable habits. Initiatives like waste segregation and sustainable travel can significantly reduce environmental impacts. This approach not only aligns with regulatory requirements but also enhances social responsibility and community engagement. #SportsBusiness #Football #SportsBiz #Finance #Data #Intelligence #Sustainability
Clubs advised to gear up for mandatory sustainability reporting under new ECA strategy

Madrid, 26th of April 2024. The ECA presented its sustainability strategy to support 620 clubs on this fundamental path for the future of football. A strategy that underscores our shared vision towards a more impactful and prosperous future for football. In football, we must do more than react to sustainability and social trends—we need to be at the forefront and drive them. Thanks to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and ECA board, Niclas Carlnen and ECA Sustaininility Working group, the CEO of ECA Carlie Marshall, Gaia Pretner and all ECA team. Some notes from my opening remarks: - UEFA and ECA are embarking on a unified sustainability journey, focusing on collective process. - The synergy between football, sustainability, and business is a natural one, and it's increasingly articulated through Environmental, Social and Governance criteria. -Our goal is to shift from inspiration to activation, engaging and mobilizing key stakeholders to bring us towards a more sustainable future. - Strategic planning, clear paths, defined goals and KPIs are foundational. - The true test of leadership lies in our ability to transform ideas into concrete actions on the ground. - We must ensure our impact extends beyond our own events to influence civil society at large, upholding the highest standards and progressing towards our ambitious goals. - Sustainability is not a cost but an investment. - The commercial partners are playing an increasingly role as they align more closely with mutual beneficial, generating additional value and purpose to our partnership. - Uefa and ECA are implementing concrete actions, including the creation and distribution of practical toolkits, in-depth guidelines, and online platforms covering various sustainability policies. - As the largest platform in the world, we have a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to lead this important charge together. - Crucial role will be played by players, coaches and fans. - Strength Through Unity

The #euro2024 has just started and more than ever before the question about the #sustainability of the event and #socialresponsibility of the sporting federation behind it has been intensively discussed. How governance practice and perceived social responsibility interplay with each other was the aim of a study with my co-author Daryousch Argomand, which just has been available online at Managing Sport and Leisure. The key managerial implication for sporting federation: Make sure your #governance practice is perceived as good one, otherwise you risk your #CSR activities might be perceived as hypocritical and can cause more brand damage than without it.
