How is GS1 working with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance?

Modified on Wed, 8 Jan at 9:00 AM

"We are collaborating with regulators globally to ensure next generation barcodes can help businesses meet stricter sustainability and transparency requirements."


  • We’re engaging with governments and regulators early to shape guidelines around the use of GS1 standards to meet new regulations
  • GS1’s global standards ensure consistency and interoperability, meaning businesses can comply with regulations across multiple markets.
  • Our work includes integrating information about ingredient and raw materials  sourcing, and ethical certifications, all of which are, or may soon be, required by new regulations.


E.g., with upcoming regulation like EU ESG reporting or the EU Deforestation Regulation
