Due to essential site maintenance My GS1 and My Numberbank will be unavailable from 7:00 pm on Friday 26 April to 5:00 pm Saturday 27 April. We will also be unable to process new members during this time.

Our governance

It’s our members who choose how we’re run.

We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation governed by a supervisory board of elected members.

Our strategy, budget and annual operating plan, are reviewed and approved by a supervisory board of elected members. Our board members are representative of the industries we work with and come from large organisations and SMEs.

This board is elected each year at the AGM. The board then meets at least four times a year, keeping on top of changes and exploring new strategic opportunities.

Like most companies, we have an operating board of passionate and committed staff directors. They handle our day-to-day running in their specific roles and meet at least once a month to take reports from the various GS1 UK groups.
