The Global Data Synchronisation Network of GS1 is growing worldwide. Each year 7% more GTINs are shared. Also in Belgilux, more suppliers, retailers from different sectors, exchange product information via My Product Manager connected to GS1 GDSN. One platform, one customer journey.

The pandemic really shined a light on the importance of global supply chains for making critical products available. As the months passed in 2020-2021, many supply chains were stretched to their limits. In this context, digitalised supply chains become vital. What are the lessons learned?

Vaccines, masks, hydroalcoholic gel,… the need for trusted data and traceability has never been so important. And with the introduction of the MDR regulation on medical devices in May 2021, the use of GS1 standards is growing in the healthcare sector as well. The first steps to a secured and efficient supply chain have been taken but the road is still long…

Membership at GS1 is growing fast. Especially for companies that want to sell online. GTINs are crucial to sell at marketplaces or for e-commerce. Why is this unique identification through the value chain so critical? And can GS1 GDSN help to provide marketplaces with product information?

The EU plans regulations that imposes for every product in Europe a product passport. This of course as part of the green deal to make Europe green and more circular. What is it? And how can GS1 standards support this.
