Humanitarian Logistics

Working together, we can help your humanitarian efforts reach more people through the power of GS1 standards. Humanitarian organisations work tirelessly to save lives and preserve human dignity, but the situation these now face is entirely unprecedented. Currently, 125 million people – nearly the population of the world’s tenth most populous country, Japan – require assistance. With procurement and transport comprising over 60% costs of providing aid, improving humanitarian supply chain efficiency is an imperative. GS1 is known worldwide for optimising supply chains.

As a neutral, non-for-profit global standards organisation, we have validated solutions that are used by businesses, multilateral organisations and non-governmental organisations worldwide to unlock increased responsiveness and productivity in supply chain processes.

How can we help?
