The paper considers:
- The likely range of procurement activities across the MSE life-cycle.
- Emerging good practice.
- Existing tools / models for improving human rights good practice.
- The need for leadership by sports governing bodies to ensure leverage with suppliers over the long term.
- The scope for, and potential merits of, approved supplier lists.
