About us

Our goal : a more efficient supply chain by offering companies global standards for identification, capturing and sharing data.

As an independent neutral non-profit organisation, we bring together companies such as supermarkets, DIY and garden stores, online shops, hospitals, pharmacies and their suppliers and logistics service providers.

GS1 Belgium & Luxembourg is the organisation representing Belgium and Luxembourg of the international GS1 company.

Different bodies contribute to the policy and activities at different levels. Know more about our governance

The sectors we operate in: FMCG & Foodservice - DIY, Garden & Pet - Healthcare - Transport & Logistics - Marketplaces - Construction
