GS1
GS1 is a global research and non-profit institute that brings industry leaders, government, regulators, academia and associations together to develop standards-based solutions to address the challenges of data exchange. GS1 standards are the most widely-used system of standards in the world. By enabling the sharing of trusted quality data everywhere, they tell the story behind products: where they originated, what they contain and where they have been during their supply chain journey. This, in turn, removes friction between business partners and improves performance and safety across the entire supply chain.
