Grow Stronger as One – Standing With You in COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is posing unprecedented challenges to the world’s economy, and businesses in Hong Kong cannot be immune. Committed to our members as always, we remain focused on enhancing supply chain connectivity, facilitating omni-channel commerce and fostering industry collaboration, to help members navigate through the downturn.

The pandemic has battered industries badly and thus reshaped the global supply chains. Companies must reassess and sharpen their supply chain connectivity, agility and visibility in order to rebound. Our global standards, coupled with digital technologies, help companies accurately capture and share data throughout their supply chain, not only enhance their response to the markets, but also their supply chain transparency and efficiency.

“Go Digital, Go Smart” becomes the new normal during pandemic. With barcodes bridging the physical and digital world, our standard-based digital solutions help members tap into online opportunities easily and effectively, while ensuring data integrity and accuracy. Data is the new currency, emerging technologies like IoT are accelerating the pace of digital transformation, driving companies to “Go Smart”. We have prepared a series of “Go Digital”, “Go Smart” webinars for members to grow and add value to their operations.

Collaboration is vital in times of crisis. We are in close collaboration and communication with the Government, industry associations and enterprises. As a neutral, trusted partner of businesses, we represent the interest and voice of our members by making recommendations to the Government initiatives, appealing for funding support and fostering a favorable business environment in the difficult times.

GS1 Hong Kong has stayed proactive in protecting the health and wellbeing of our members, staff and visitors, ensuring our services accessible as usual. We have also sped up the barcode application for over 60 companies producing anti-epidemic products, so their products can get to market faster.

The economic tides have quickly turned south and will persist for a period of time, yet we believe together, we can overcome the adversity. We wish you good health, and let’s grow stronger as one and get prepared for a quick economic rebound!

Chief Executive, GS1 Hong Kong
