Discover the committees
Within GS1 Belgium & Luxembourg, there are several bodies that contribute at different levels to the policy and activities.
Steering committees and working groups in support of our Board of Directors. Their agenda is determined by research questions from GS1 Global or GS1 in Europe, specific assignments from the Board and questions from the market. They try to provide an answer by looking for solutions within the standards and, where necessary, providing input for their expansion.
The members of the committees are representatives of our members (manufacturers and distributors) with extensive experience and expertise in the area. Solutions approved by committees are communicated to the Board of Directors through the CEO. If a committee cannot reach consensus, the Board of Directors will decide on the further course of action.
The Board, the CEO or the committees themselves may also set up temporary working groups to address specific issues within a discipline. They report to the relevant committee, which in turn - through the General Manager - communicates the solutions to the Board of Directors. Working groups are composed of experts from the member companies, depending on the subject at hand.
The following bodies will manage the governance of GS1 Belgilux and at Benelux level:
Sectoral Business Council/ Top2Top
The sectoral business council gives C-level input for the sector vision/strategy and policy for product information and supply chain management at sector level.
Steering Committee
The steering committee’s aim is to draw up the project proposals and to manage the realisation of project plans commissioned by the Board.
Working groups

Working groups submit implementation projects to the Steering Committee and implement after approval. The permanent sector working groups manage and maintain the implementation of GS1 standards for their respective sector. It can be operational or non-operational issues.
