GS1 Finland executed a development project together with the Finnish food industry and grocery trade operators, which aimed at a practical level to solve the new information requirements set for the food chain by the EU's deforestation regulation.
Find out how our identification, capturing and sharing standards and the common operating models based on them can, among other things, improve business processes, smooth the information flow in the supply chain and improve the customer experience.
The objective of the development project was to create a common approach to the efficient management and exchange of fish traceability data across the entire food chain.
We coordinate and facilitate industry-developing programs and projects. We gather our customers in collaboration groups to develop the practices of their industry and to influence the development of our services. In addition, we are strongly involved in the development of the GS1's global standards.
The Packaging material data model development project developed an operating model for identification and a data model for basic packaging data, which allowed packaging components to be identified and their data to be managed consistently throughout the supply chain, utilizing GS1 standards.
With GS1 standards, packaging data is linked as part of product data and utilised efficiently in business operations, the circular economy and regulatory compliance.
