Division focus
The Social Responsibility and Education Division works with governments, global and regional development agencies, human rights groups, international and local non-profit organisations and former players to promote a fairer, more equal society through football.
The FIFA Statutes (art. 3) underline the organisation’s commitment to respect all internationally recognised human rights and to strive to promote the protection of these rights. In addition, FIFA’s Code of Ethics calls for zero tolerance to any form of abuse or harassment within football.
As set out in the FIFA President’s “Football Unites the World” vision (Strategic Objectives for the Global Game: 2023-2027), FIFA takes its social responsibilities seriously and is committed to the principles of sustainable development, particularly in relation to climate-related aspects and human rights.
To implement these commitments in practice, the organisation needs to continually improve its management of social, environmental and financial risks, obligations and opportunities.
