Call for stronger data governance standards
The International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association (Fiata) and the Global Shippers Forum have jointly issued an agreed charter for protection and governance of data in international trade.
The charter sets 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.
The recommendations seek to enable a safe and trustworthy environment for conducting business based on a level playing field, the two organisations jointly declared.
The charter has been approved by members of both organisations and is believed to be the first declaration of rights for platform users in the trade and logistics sector. (ben)
