Background: IBU’s SGO 2015 scores In the SGO 2015 report, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) achieved an SGO index score of 39%. The dimension with the highest score was transparency (48%). The organisation performed basically at the same level within the dimensions of democratic processes (38%) and societal responsibility (39%), while it achieved a low score (29%) on internal accountability and control. One of the organisation’s main strengths in the SGO 2015 report was that the elections were made on the basis of secret ballots and clear procedures were in place regarding the objectivity of elections. IBU also performed well in terms of elections of the president and governing bodies. Its finances were also externally audited according to international recognised standards, and IBU allocated specific resources for the global development of grassroots activities and consolidated these under a comprehensive strategy. In regard to deficits, the organisation did not publish reports of its standing committees on its website, and the organisation had neither term limits, a gender equality policy nor environmental requirements for its major events.
