Background: IIHF’s SGO 2015 scores In the SGO 2015 report, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) achieved an SGO index score of 53%. The dimension with the highest score was transparency (58%) while IIHF achieved the same score within the dimensions of democratic processes (50%) and internal accountability and control (50%). There were, however, no reliable data available for benchmarking IIHF on the societal responsibility dimension. Regarding the transparency dimension, IIHF published externally audited annual financial reports on its website – including reports from the past three years. The analysis also revealed that the IIHF’s general assembly is required to meet at least once a year and there are clear procedures enshrined in the statutes for convening emergency and special meetings. In addition, the SGO 2015 report outlined that the organisation has an internal audit committee, whose tasks include overseeing the internal audit and assessing the quality of the internal control system, including risk management. Governance deficits included the lack of an ethics committee, main event reports with detailed and relevant information on its website, and term limits for elected officials.
