The partnership establishes WCAworld as a FIATA platinum partner for an initial three-year term and provides a framework for enhanced engagement across FIATA initiatives, events and industry programmes, said FIATA, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations.
This new partnership also reflects a shared commitment to supporting freight forwarders through industry collaboration, professional development, digital transformation and the promotion of high standards across global logistics operations, added FIATA.
“FIATA is delighted to welcome WCAworld as a Platinum Partner,” said Stéphane Graber, director general of FIATA. “Building on our collaboration over the years, this partnership reinforces FIATA’s global role as the voice of the freight forwarding industry and its commitment to advocating for a regulatory environment that supports efficient, resilient and sustainable supply chains.
“It brings together two organisations with a strong international presence, extensive industry reach, and a common objective of supporting freight forwarders in an increasingly complex trading environment.
“We look forward to working closely with WCAworld to promote initiatives and strengthen engagement across the wider logistics industry.”
“Partnering with FIATA as a Platinum Partner marks a significant milestone for WCAworld, especially during FIATA’s centenary year,” stated David Yokeum, chair of WCAworld.
“For a century, FIATA has stood as the trusted voice of the freight forwarding industry, and this collaboration brings our members closer to the leadership and expertise that define it.
“We look forward to working alongside FIATA to elevate industry standards, support the professional development of freight forwarders, and keep global trade moving forward together in the years ahead.”
As supply chains continue to evolve, collaboration between industry associations and global logistics networks is becoming increasingly important, FIATA further added.
Geneva-based FIATA is a non-governmental, membership-based organisation representing freight forwarders in some 150 territories.
FIATA’s membership is composed of 106 association members and more than 4,700 individual members, overall representing an industry of 50,000 freight forwarding and logistics firms worldwide.
