When it comes to international relocation, every detail matters, from packing and documentation to customs clearance and final delivery. But while it’s easy to compare prices or promises, how do you really know which company you can trust?
This is where FIDI accreditation becomes a critical factor in your decision-making process. If you’ve never heard of it before, don’t worry. We’ll explain exactly what it means and why it should matter to you.
At CM Relocation, we’re proud to be a FIDI-accredited mover. But more than just a stamp of approval, this status is a direct reflection of our commitment to quality, safety, and trust. Here’s what that means for you and your move.
What is FIDI?
FIDI (Fédération Internationale des Déménageurs Internationaux) is the largest global alliance of professional international moving and relocation companies. With members in over 100 countries, FIDI sets the gold standard for the international moving industry.
To become FIDI-accredited, companies must meet strict requirements under the FAIM Quality Standard—the only recognised and independently audited quality benchmark for international movers.
Simply put: FIDI is not just a membership; it’s a certification of excellence.
What FIDI Accreditation Means for Your Move
Choosing a FIDI-accredited mover like CM Relocation gives you access to a host of benefits that go far beyond basic services. Let’s break down what this really means for you:
1. Confidence in Quality
To receive FIDI accreditation, companies must undergo a detailed audit by Ernst & Young, covering over 200 quality checkpoints. These include:
- Service delivery standards
- Data protection and privacy policies
- Trained and vetted personnel
- Transparent documentation and billing
- Risk management and claims handling
What this means for you is peace of mind knowing your move is in the hands of professionals who follow global best practices, right from the first box to the last mile.
2. Global Consistency and Coordination
Moving internationally is never a one-company job. A true global relocation involves coordination between movers in your origin and destination countries.
The advantage of working with a FIDI-accredited mover like CM Relocation is that we have trusted FIDI partners around the world. These are companies who also follow the same standards, making the entire move smooth, consistent, and well-communicated.
You’ll never have to worry about a drop in service once your shipment crosses borders.
3. Regular Compliance Checks
Many certifications are awarded once and forgotten. FIDI’s FAIM certification, on the other hand, is maintained through ongoing audits every three years. This ensures that certified movers continue to meet high-quality benchmarks and evolve with industry changes.
For you, this translates to reliability over time. CM Relocation doesn’t just meet the bar. We’re constantly raising it.
4. Ethical Business Practices
With rising concerns about data misuse and unethical service practices in the moving industry, FIDI enforces a strict Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Charter. All accredited members are expected to comply with international laws and conduct business with honesty and transparency.
At CM Relocation, we take these values seriously. From how we handle your shipment to how we communicate costs, we prioritise openness, respect, and integrity.
5. Sustainability and Responsibility
Relocation impacts more than just your household. It can affect communities, environments, and supply chains. FIDI-accredited companies are encouraged to take steps toward reducing environmental impact, managing waste responsibly, and supporting social responsibility initiatives.
We’re proud to align with these principles. At CM Relocation, we are committed to eco-conscious moving, using sustainable materials and optimizing shipping methods whenever possible.
Why It Matters More Than You Think
You might wonder, “Aren’t all movers supposed to be professional and trustworthy?” In an ideal world, yes. But in reality, the moving industry is often unregulated in many parts of the world. That means anyone with a truck and boxes can claim to be a moving expert.
FIDI accreditation helps you cut through the noise.
It provides third-party validation that a company like CM Relocation doesn’t just talk the talk. We walk the walk. Whether you’re moving your family to another continent, relocating employees, or transferring corporate assets, you need assurance that every detail is handled with care, compliance, and professionalism.
That’s exactly what FIDI guarantees and what we deliver.
