Happy World Fair Trade Day 2026 🌍

A day to highlight the importance of fair trade and transparent supply chains in creating a more equitable and sustainable world.

This years theme is “Together we are the Business Revolution!”. Fair trade depends on supply chains that buyers and businesses can actually trust and trust relies on traceability.

When every product, location and shipment can be identified through shared global standards like those at GS1, transparency stops being a claim and becomes something verifiable.

We can all play a role in shaping a world that has more fair trade by choosing to purchase from companies that support these values.

The retail landscape is on the brink of a transformative shift as we edge closer to 2027, a year earmarked for a significant transition in the way products are labelled and interacted with globally 🌍

The move from traditional barcodes to QR codes powered by GS1 standards represents not just a technological upgrade but a leap towards enhancing consumer experiences and ensuring unparalleled product traceability.

In today's digital age, consumers crave information. From the ingredients and nutritional content of their food to the sustainability practices behind their favourite brands, the demand for transparency is at an all-time high.

QR codes powered by GS1 standards are set to revolutionise how consumers interact with products.

With a simple scan using a smartphone, individuals can access a wealth of information, from usage instructions and safety guidelines to recycling advice and brand stories, thereby fostering a higher level of engagement and trust between consumers and brands!

Tesco has become the first UK supermarket to transition an entire product range to QR codes powered by GS1, replacing traditional linear barcodes across its own‑label core sausage range.

Tesco’s move to QR codes powered by GS1 marks a quiet but important shift for retail in Ireland and the UK, moving the technology from pilots into everyday use at scale.

While the change will be largely invisible to shoppers at the checkout, it represents a significant step in how product data is managed behind the scenes. By moving beyond pilots and adopting the next generation of barcodes across a live range, Tesco has shown how QR codes powered by GS1 can be embedded into day‑to‑day retail operations.

The move follows two years of industry pilots involving GS1 and a range of retail and brand partners. Those pilots focused on testing how QR codes powered by GS1 could work safely and reliably in real retail environments.

Tesco’s decision now applies that learning in practice, marking a shift from exploration to implementation.
