The countless pressures to which sports organisations are subject are leading to changes in governance systems and management styles. In this context, the dynamics of the contexts in which they operate and “move” have triggered significantly complex processes, by virtue of paradigms that are increasingly inspired by sustainability, with repercussions on both the environmental and social levels, while remaining linked to sometimes stringent economic factors. In this scenario, sport has been and continues to be an essential part of people's lives, whose impact does not derive exclusively from the financial aspects that characterise the (economic) activity of a business “industry”, but above all from its centrality as an element of social inclusion, health and, ultimately, the well-being of individuals and communities. The concepts of governance and responsibility are therefore becoming more crucial than ever before, and the prospects for the sports sector will increasingly be determined by the ability of entities to manage themselves well, tangibly demonstrating their accountability to multiple stakeholders.
