Sustainability has become a key driver for (profitable) business for consumers, regulators and trading partners alike.
GS1 is now stepping on board with companies rethinking and restructuring their operating models, proving that open and standardized data are key for delivering sustainable performance.
During this GS1 Innovation Café, which took place on November 24th 2020, we heard from regulators why sustainability is now high on the agenda. We also dove into the pioneer project HolyGrail 2.0. Led by AIM, this project includes over 90 participating companies such as P&G and GS1 in Europe.
