Shippers and forwarders organisations call for stronger data governance standards in digital supply chains

The International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) and the Global Shippers Forum (GSF) have jointly issued an agreed Charter for the Protection and Governance of Data in International Trade.

The purpose of this is to set out the minimum arrangements for data security and confidentiality that providers and operators of digital booking and trading platforms should adopt and incorporate in their End-User Agreements (EUAs).

Stéphane Graber, director general of FIATA commented, “FIATA is committed to enabling the shift of trade from analogue to digital form to increase efficiency and resilience of global supply chains.”

The recommendations in the Charter seek to enable a safe and trustworthy environment for conducting business based on a level playing field.

James Hookham, secretary general of GSF, commented, “Digitalisation of international trade and transport paperwork offers huge savings and benefits for all parties in the supply chain, but its storage and processing comes with risks of loss, leakage and unauthorised use that could expose commercially sensitive patterns and trends.”
