Global standards that make it faster, cheaper and safer for you to serve your customers
We’re an independent, not-for-profit organisation working to make UK organisations more efficient by getting everybody speaking the same language when it comes to locating, transporting and trading goods. After all, life’s simpler when we all have the same information.
We set standards, using unique numbers, for global use which makes the reliable identification of products and assets possible. We are one of 108 GS1 member organisations across 150 countries, and operate in multiple sectors and industries.
