International Workshop Agreement on Ethics an Integrity in Sport – Guidelines
Following approval by the Technical Management Board of a proposal from the Association française de normalisation (AFNOR), interested contributors are invited to a workshop to develop an International Workshop Agreement (IWA 46) on Ethics and Integrity in Sport – Guidelines.
Purpose
The purpose of the IWA is to developing guidelines in the field of sports ethics and integrity with the following objectives:
· to define a comprehensive framework for the Sports Movement and harmonised best practices at international level
· to engage sports organizations willingness to implement ethics and integrity policies in sport;
· to encourage cooperation at international level, particularly at public authority level.
The deliverable is foreseen to include both methodological recommendations and a toolbox of actions to be implemented in human, organizational and economic terms, irrespective of the nature of these risks and the sports organizations that refer to them. It would apply to all types of organizations, including federations, professional leagues, decentralised entities, sports clubs, and organisers of competitions (private or otherwise), regardless of their size.

ISO International Workshop Agreement - Framework for Implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Principles
Following approval by the ISO Technical Management Board of the above referenced IWA proposal from the British Standards Institution (BSI), the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) and Standards Council of Canada (SCC), we are pleased to invite you to develop an International Workshop Agreement (IWA 48) Framework for Implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Principles.
Briefing meetings will be held online, in May, to outline purpose of IWA, introduce the initial draft and confirm IWA process. All registered participants will be advised of the dates in due course.
A series of international workshops will then take place between July and September 2024. The initial Workshop meeting dates are:
Workshop 1 (virtual)
· 8 July 2024, 11:00 – 14:30 UTC Workshop 2 (virtual)
· 10 July 2024, 18:00 – 21:30 UTC
These first two workshops will focus on the draft IWA 48 and stakeholder comments received. Stakeholders are requested to attend both workshops as these are not intended to be duplicate sessions.
There will be further workshops in August and September on dates to be announced. Different time zones will be accommodated for these further workshops.
Meeting credentials will be distributed to registered individuals near the date of the meetings.
Please visit the ESG IWA Registration page (which is being hosted by BSI) to register your interest and participate in the workshops and receive updates, including relevant research and documentation. An initial draft of the IWA will be shared for feedback to registered stakeholders by 1 May 2024 and details on how to submit comments will accompany the draft.
If you have any comments or suggestions related to the updates above, please contact Lulu Wang at Lulu.Wang@standards.org.au
