GS1 Overview

GS1 develops and maintains the most widely used supply chain standards that are fundamental to numerous enterprises around the world. The best-known symbol of GS1 standards is the barcode, named by the BBC as one of “the 50 things that made the world economy”. Five decades ago, we started by helping food retailers do business more efficiently and reduce consumer prices. Today, GS1 standards improve the efficiency, sustainability, safety, and visibility of supply chains across physical and digital channels in 25 sectors, including healthcare, retail omnichannel and e-commerce, transport and logistics, food service, technical industries, and humanitarian logistics. Our scale and reach – local Member Organisations (MO) in 118 countries, 2 million user companies, and 6 billion transactions every day – help ensure that GS1 standards create a common language that supports systems and processes across the globe.
