GS1 is a neutral, not-for-profit organisation that develops and maintains the most widely used global standards for efficient business communication. We are best known for the barcode, named by the BBC as one of “the 50 things that made the world economy”. GS1 standards improve the efficiency, safety and visibility of supply chains across physical and digital channels in 25 sectors. Our scale and reach – local Member Organisations in 112 countries, 1.5 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.
It’s our most recognisable standard. But from retail and transport to healthcare and financial services, we create standards for a wide range of areas.
We’re driven by the interests of our members. No matter what size your organisation, join us to play a role in defining standards that work for you.
Our roots go back to the first barcode, created in 1973. Today, we’re the world’s leader in creating, implementing and maintaining useful business standards.
You’ll find our local offices them in over 100 countries, including Pakistan. Together with our headquarters in Brussels, our presence in so many countries make us a truly global organisation. The Pakistan office should be your first point of contact for any questions.
