Sectors and Industries

Non Food

The non-food sector covers a wide range of items across a broad spectrum of industries. From clothing (apparel, fashion, footwear) to home improvement and other supplies, it is a very data-driven and constantly moving sector.

GS1 standards are like the DNA of the articles and products moving through their value chain. By uniquely identifying each of them, it is possible to link articles and products to relevant information.

For GS1 in Europe it is maybe not the largest sector yet, but the demand is growing fast. The aim is to help Member Organisations support their customers throughout the European continent.

Batteries

The Digital Product Passport for electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries is a central part of the new European legislation.

B2B2C

This is a GDSN working group of experts from European GS1 Member Organisations, focused on supporting harmonised implementation of GDSN in Europe.

DIY, Garden & Pet

For the Do-It-Yourself (DIY), Garden & Pet sector the main focus has been working on the Global Data Model. More projects and activities will follow for this sector.

Global Data Model

The GS1 GDM helps you leverage your product content for a seamless shopping experience across every channel. It’s already implemented in several sectors and European countries.
