Why should I join GSMP?
The Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) is a collaborative platform where GS1 members, like-minded businesses, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders come together to solve common challenges and shape future GS1 standards, ensuring they are practical, scalable, and align with real-world business needs.
GS1 members can influence the direction of standards to better meet their needs by actively participating. Their contributions and direct voices provide practical insights that help refine standards based on industry challenges.
By engaging in GSMP, members can get early insights into emerging standards, allowing them to prepare for adoption before they become mandatory. It is also a platform to share best practices and leverage successful implementations.
