More and more, consumers are demanding access to the full story of the products they purchase and are expecting a new level of transparency from brands and retailers. For brands,traceability is essentialtobuilding trust with consumers, and it also enables quick responses to recalls or issues at any point in the supply chain. And for industries that are new or emerging, the ability to trace a product’s journey through the supply chain can become a rare“anchor of trust.” How do we make theCBD supply chainmore visible, take advantage of the data generated, and ensure thatdata can be trustedand shared from start to finish? End-to-end supply chain visibility requires technology interoperability to ensure solution choice and to avoid vendor lock-in, and GS1 Standards exist to facilitate interoperability. GS1 Standards can alsoenable efficiency and safetyusing one common language across systems and trading partners.
