Med standarder og stregkoder arbejder GS1 med FN's Verdensmål

I hele verden arbejdes der for at kunne nå nogle af de mål, som FN har sat for vores fælles verden. Læs dig igennem hvilke Verdensmål, GS1 bidrager til.

GS1 and the SDGs

Do you want to know how GS1 works with the SDGs? And how global standards are helping the work towards achieving the SDGs?

For example, standards and barcodes help ensure that the world's population gets the right medicine, and smart barcodes, such as QR codes from GS1, can help reduce food waste or increase global sustainable growth.

Get inspired on how you can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals by using standards from GS1.

Bliv klogere på FNS verdensmål

Læser man med på hjemmesiden for Verdensmålene, vil man kunne læse at FN's Verdensmål skulle være den til dato mest ambitiøse globale udviklingsdagsorden. Verdensmålene for bæredygtig udvikling blev skabt under et FN-topmøde i New York i 2015. Meningen med målene er, at der bliver sat en kurs mod bæredygtighed for mennesker og for vores planen på 17 forskellige punkter. Herunder blandt andet at udrydde sult, skaffe rent vand, nedsætte CO2-udledningen eller øge den globale sundhed og trivsel.

De 17 mål kan du se nedenfor, mens du kan trykke dig ind på seks af dem. Nemlig de seks som GS1 gennem globale standarder bidrager til.

 

GS1 standards support global goals

Working with GS1 standards can support a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Here we focus on five key and very different goals that show the role GS1 standards play in companies and organizations working with SDGs - from food waste to patient safety.

GS1 ensures the right medicine for the world's population

Worldwide, there are two major issues that GS1 is actively contributing to solving. These are counterfeit medicines and prescription errors. GS1 2D barcodes ensure through unique identification that the medicine in your hand is both genuine and correct for the individual patient's needs. In this way, GS1 directly contributes to increasing the health and well-being of the global population.

GS1 standards help create efficient value chains

The SSCC standard is an important tool in, for example, inventory management in many large logistics companies around the world. One of the many uses of the standard is to ensure that trucks do not drive around half-full, thereby increasing efficiency and lowering CO2 emissions. This is achieved by the standards' ability to create transparency about which goods are coming in and which are going out first, among other things.

Return systems require global standards and common languages

As part of the transition to a circular economy, we need to move away from old waste principles and instead talk about collection and recycling. This creates new challenges through circular supply chains, which increasingly call for the global GS1 standards. In Denmark, we have mastered deposit and return systems, and through the GTIN, GLN and GRAI standards, Dansk Retursystem has managed to get us all to stop thinking of beverage packaging as waste.

GS1 standards can reduce retail food waste by 28%

Smart barcodes can be part of the solution to halve food waste worldwide by 2030. From international cases, GS1 can demonstrate that the Danish grocery trade can reduce their food waste by 28%. This is due to the smart barcodes' ability to digitize batch/lot and expiration dates on food. This will boost the entire food industry's ability to prevent waste and increase food safety

Contributes to the need for traceability and sustainable fishing

Due to overfishing, there is an increased need to focus on documentation and transparency of the ocean supply chain. Today, this need can be solved through GS1's standards for 2D barcodes and EPCIS - something that GS1 Norway has embraced. Today, they support Norwegian fisheries through EPCIS and the adoption of 2D barcodes and GS1's new Digital Link standard.

EU climate goals require global cooperation and a common language

Due to globalization and global supply chains,upcoming EU legislation is creating ripple effects around the world. Over the next few years, the transition to a circular economy will set new and stringent requirements for selected industries on traceability, transparency and recycling - starting with batteries for electric cars. GS1 standards are already part of the solution and, through 2D barcodes and GS1 Digital Link, form a common language developed in collaboration with the European Commission and others.
