6. FIFA CSR INITIATIVE

7. CONTINUE
o As the guardian of the game, FIFA – with its 209
member associations – accepts a responsibility that
goes beyond simply organising the FIFA World Cup
and developing the game itself.

body has further strengthened its commitment to
building a better future by defining a social
responsibility strategy, by setting up an award-
winning Corporate Social Responsibility
Department.

were conducted
 Recently, both have been charged
with bribery.

13. HOW FIFA HANDLE IT ?
 I feel that the crisis could not have been prevented.
 Although ethical regulations were set for committee
members, it is difficult to monitor what goes on
behind closed doors.
 Many of the accusations that were made about
individual members were false, and some of them
were not supported by enough evidence to convict.
 With the of the nature of this crisis, I feel that
Fédération International de Football Association did a
great job responding to the crisis.

14. CONTINUE
 The organization leaders immediately addressed the
issued and explained to the public through a news
release on the first day. It gave the organization a
chance to gain control before the media. Addressing it
so quickly, and the constant updates and information
to the public and media also helped show the
transparency of the organization. I feel that the
transparency is important to build and maintain trust
with the stakeholders around the organization.
 Also, the quick response by FIFA to investigate the

15. CONCLUSION
 Overall, the crisis that FIFA faced was
inevitable. However, the organization took
the necessary steps in a timely manner,
and continues to investigate and update
media and the publics. The media has
responded in a neutral stance, and it
seems that FIFA is working with the media
to best represent the organization.
