About GS1

Consumers, patients, business partners, and regulators are demanding more and better product data than ever before. However, complex and costly data exchange processes are resulting in a surge of low-quality data.

GS1 empowers digital transformation by enabling businesses to create a digital version of a product that matches the quality of the physical one. Ultimately, this increases product transparency and provides seamless experiences for consumers and patients.

GS1 standards are the most widely used system of standards globally. By enabling the sharing of trusted quality data, they reveal the story behind products—where they originated, what they contain, and where they have been during their supply-chain journey. This reduces friction between business partners and enhances performance and safety across the entire supply chain.
