Asia-Pacific GS1 Member Organisations reach new milestone with the Hong Kong Declaration

The Asia- Pacific region is diverse, dynamic, and the most competitive region in the world. Representing half of the world population and close to half of global trade, it is strategically important for any business focusing on long term growth. As the growth engine of the world the adoption of GS1 Standards is also increasing, with the advent of modern retail in developing markets but more importantly with the meteoric rise of e-commerce, led by likes of China, India and ASEAN. GS1 Asia-Pacific stands ready to support this growth and has made significant moves towards a new more effective way of working together in the Asia- Pacific region. 

With a sense of common purpose, the member organisations of  the Asia-Pacific region came together and signed the Hong Kong Declaration on 24th October in Hong Kong, China. The signing signifies a common understanding to commit to a new way of working together to better promote GS1 in the Asia-Pacific region.
