Year in review 2024

2024 was a year of growing cooperation and importance of standards for GS1 Finland. The changing operating environment, especially the increasing requirements of EU legislation, laid the foundation for the strengthening of our role and the expansion of our operations. The development of our services and cooperation with different sectors were at the heart of our operations, and our active work on our core tasks also naturally continued.
