Get Ready for the EU Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR)

Beginning October 2025, companies trading in timber, rubber, palm oil, soy, cocoa, coffee and cattle (and products derived from them) must prove their supply chains are deforestation-free, legally produced and traceable down to specific plots of land.

GS1 identifiers—especially the Global Location Number (GLN)—provide a common, regulator-accepted way to tag every farm, plantation, factory or warehouse, while GS1 2D barcodes and Digital Link connect those IDs to live data 24 / 7.

• Meet strict traceability and sustainability proof points
• Simplify customs clearance for EU imports and exports
• Turn compliance into a market advantage for eco-conscious buyers

• Malaysia – MOH & NPRA: GS1 barcodes recognised for pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
• China Customs “Single Window”: GTIN reporting mandatory for many food imports.
• China Cold-Chain Traceability: GS1 data underpins end-to-end visibility of frozen foods.
• EU sustainability directives: Digital Product Passport and circular-economy rules cite GS1 keys.

2D Barcodes Is Replacing 1D Barcodes

Global retail and healthcare supply chains are moving to GS1 2D Barcodes because it carries far more information—expiry dates, batch numbers, serials—without taking extra label space. GS1’s roadmap targets full point-of-sale readiness for both legacy 1D and new 2D symbols by the end of 2027.

See how regulators and brand owners plan to use 2D codes for traceability, anti-counterfeit and sustainability reporting in our short briefing note. Download the brochure (PDF)

GLN: The “Passport Number” for Every Business Location

A GS1 Global Location Number (GLN) uniquely identifies factories, warehouses, stores and even e-commerce fulfilment points. That single ID powers smoother EDI, automated receiving, regulatory filings and emerging sustainability rules like EUDR and Digital Product Passports.

Sustainability and environmental responsibility have become top priorities for many upstream companies and brand owners.

GS1 standards contribute to supply chain visibility, product traceability, and carbon footprint reduction can appeal to organisations pursuing ESG goals via sustainable sourcing, and responsible waste management through accurate data capture and sharing.
