Our global standards are used to identify, capture and share data on over a billion products around the world. This helps businesses understand, monitor and share invaluable insights in their supply chains.
Product identification is essential for measuring and communicating accurate traceability information and sustainability data.
By ensuring GS1 standards are incorporated across a product’s entire lifecycle, brands will be able to make data-driven decisions on sustainability, improve consumer trust, enhance the circularity of their operations, reduce the risk of non-compliance and greenwashing.
