Our promise to you - a common language.

Nomen est omen. What we say it is on the outside is in fact on inside: GS1 standards are the common language of business, allowing us to communicate and understand each other, collaborate and make life safer, easier and more cost-effective for everyone around the world. More than two million members worldwide already use the GS1 standards.

It is in this industry that GS1 has traditionally been most firmly anchored. This is also the case in Switzerland.

Our work is focusing on four industries:
