F I D I S E RV ICES LATEST EDITION OF PCGS GOES LIVE C A L L TO ACTION The FIDI Professional Cooperation Guidelines (PCGs) have gained a firm status as reference for best practice in the wider international moving industry. Over the past few months, two key milestones were reached, strengthening this position. By Marie-Pascale Frix, Business Intelligence Manager T he FIDI Professional Cooperation Guidelines (PGCs) document has undergone its third review since it was launched in 2017.

Each proposal must be analysed to see if it fits the scope of the PCGs. This requires lots of rigour and an ongoing review of the relevance of the PCGs guidelines, so that they constantly remain up to date and adaptable for our industry. The role of the PCGs Committee is crucial to the integrity and sustainability of the PCGs document. 2020 EDITION KEY HIGHLIGHT: ONE VERSION FOR ALL USERS The 2019 PCGs consisted of two versions of the guidelines: one for FIDI Aliates (the ocial document) and one version to be used by other trade associations licensed by FIDI, with all references to FIDI and FAIM removed. The PCGs Committee concluded that there should only be one version of the document in force, adapted to the use by both FIDI and other trade associations (based on a signed agreement with FIDI). The 2020 edition, as approved by the FIDI Extra-ordinary General Assembly on 20 October 2020 is, consequently, applicable without exception to both FIDI and other PCGs licensed trade associations and their members, at all times.
