What aspects of sustainability are relevant for GS1 standards?

The role of GS1 standards is relevant for a wide range of sustainability aspects. A recent research project carried out by GS1 in collaboration with Accenture reached the conclusion that pressing sustainability needs and challenges that the industry has expressed, and where GS1 standards can play a role include, Supply Chain Responsibility & Transparency, Material & Resource Management, Energy & Climate Action, as well as the capability for companies to implement regulatory requirements. To do this GS1 is facilitating the full suite of GS1 standards including unique identification, data carriers, master data, web vocabulary etc. this underpins a wide range of use cases that industry is facing.
