With the newly launched digital ethics compass, the Swiss Olympic Sports Confederation and the Federal Office of Sport are providing those responsible with a practical tool. They describe it as a "milestone" in the "Ethics in Sport" project.
Based on 135 concrete examples in four core areas, the compass is intended to provide orientation, especially in the gray area, as the sports umbrella organization and the Federal Office announced on Thursday. Using the four core topics of power, ideals, proximity and pressure, the compass uses color to indicate how a situation should be classified.
According to the information provided, green means that everything is in order. Gray stands for irritating, high-risk situations that should be addressed openly and discussed together.
The red area includes suspected criminal offenses. Orange shows where ethical violations begin. In the event of a suspected breach of ethics and in cases of doubt, the compass advises users to contact the Swiss Sport Integrity (SSI) reporting office and connects directly to its portal. The compass is available in German, French, Italian and English.
The joint project "Ethics in Sport" is aimed not only at athletes, but primarily at training managers, supervisors and support staff. This includes both amateur and professional sport. According to the press release, a common understanding of where these boundaries lie is particularly important in competitive sport, where boundaries are tested.
