GS1 Anti-trust Caution

2

• Participants on GS1 committees, task forces, work groups, task groups, or other similar bodies, must always remember the purpose of the committee, task force, or work group is to enhance the ability of all industry members to compete more efficiently and effectively to provide better value to the consumer or end user. Because GS1 activity almost always involves the cooperation of competitors, great care must be taken to assure compliance with anti-trust laws. This means:

• Participation must be voluntary, and failure to participate shall not be used to penalize any company.

• There shall be no discussion of prices, allocation of customers or products, boycotts, refusals to deal, or market share.

• If any participant believes the group is drifting toward impermissible discussion, the topic shall be tabled until the opinion of counsel can be obtained.

• Meetings shall be governed by an agenda prepared in advance, and recorded by minutes prepared promptly after the meeting. Agendas, where appropriate, and minutes are to be reviewed by counsel before they are circulated.

• Tests or data collection shall be governed by protocols developed in consultation with and monitored by counsel.

• The recommendations coming out of a GS1 committee, task force, work group or task group are just that. Individual companies remain free to make independent, competitive decisions.

• Any standards developed must be voluntary standards.

Financial Services – Update

ISO TC68

• Legal Entity Identifier Standard (ISO 17442) is still in the draft stage

• Several prominent players have stated that the US-led proposal currently under consideration (a combination of SWIFT, DTCC and ANNA) is too US-centric for regulators in other parts of the world such as Asia and Europe to embrace. – OFR has requested that the standard be placed on hold until there is

clarity and consensus on the implementation approach

36


Financial Services - Update(2)

Industry/Regulatory

• Regulators have not endorsed the proposed SWIFT/DTCC/SIFMA solution and no decisions have been made

• OFR has requested that GS1 continue to stay involved to coordinate with other relevant parties and offer GS1's help and expertise

• GS1 has been invited participate in the FSB LEI Expert Group

• LEI solution in the FS industry will be a long journey

37


Financial Services – Update (3)

GS1 Activities

• Tim Smucker directly involved with OFR, Citi, SWIFT, etc.

• GS1 has been trying to engage SWIFT in a collaborative relationship

• MO engagement with local regulators has significantly helped create broader awareness of GS1 and possible role• Secondary opportunities have surfaced as a result (e.g. cash

handling, retail banking)

• Continue to provide MO updates

38


Component Parts ID (Automotive): Summary and Decisions

39

SUMMARY• The GS1 business planning and GSMP processes have been flexible in progressing

this initiative:• GS1 6-Step Process for automotive sector evaluation was not fully completed• Achieved conditional support from AC, Process Oversight Committee and BCS to proceed

without participation minimums until more users engaged – Minimums have now been met

• Now in requirements phase of GSMP process

• Low multi-sectorial representation of active members (Automotive and HC)

• Low participation levels are affecting timing

DECISIONS

1. Investigate merging the work of the Maintenance & Repair Operations (MRO) GS1 in Europe team into this workgroup to increase participation

2. Agree current scope and participation levels to complete the project with some delays (approx. 3 months)

3. Actively engage passive work group members to review/vote

4. Proceed with approval of new key at General Assembly in May


GLN Registries Framework – Objective & Requirements

Objective: • Provide a simple (single point of entry), scalable and effective means

of exchanging GLN and basic information between trading partners globally

Requirements:1. Connects GLN Registries regardless of local GLN Registry architecture(s)

2. Requirements for GLN Registry attributes developed and agreed by WG participants (GLN, Org Name, Address/Phone/Email/Fax, Country Name, Contact)

3. Solution provides a consistent view of data for the long term

4. Supports search and browse functionality

5. Allows local GLN Registry operators to provide the user access (versus the GO)

6. Architecture should be basis for future convergence of GS1 Registries

Most CEOs had the opportunity to interact with the Digital Shelfand experience the current data issues

The Consumer Goods Forum Operational Excellence Strategy

Bob McDonald & Greg Wasson

The Source of information has moved from the package or 800#

to an app that uses a scanned barcode

GS1 B2C Initiative: Creating a Trusted Source of Data

• Brand-owners can share relevant, accurate product information easily, thus building trust with consumers.

• Application providers can be sure they are delivering authentic data because the brand owner is the source.

• Consumers can feel confident that the digital product information they access is accurate, no matter how or where they shop.

GS1 B2C Initiative: A Trusted Source of Data - The Vision

GS1 B2C Initiative: A Trusted Source of Data

PROPOSAL•Support GS1’s effort to provide a standardized framework to communicate authorized product data provided by brand owners.•Build upon existing GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network capability.

•Enable consumers/shoppers usinginternet and mobile devices.

GS1 B2C Initiative: A Trusted Source of Data

HOW?• The “Connect Business for Consumers/IT” Committee will take

the lead, integrating perspective and resources from the Health & Wellness and Marketing Committees.

• Identify and share business requirements with GS1.• The Phase I proof of concept has to be simple and valuable

and will focus on nutritional attributes.• Product Name / Brand Owner Name / Product Description / Product URL

WHERE?• Initial pilots are underway in Australia,

France, Colombia, US, Germany, Spain, Canada, UK

• Strong focus on DATA QUALITY is a business requirement and is even more important in a consumer connected world.

• Data quality has been a supply chain issue…but it quickly becomes an Issue of consumer confidence in a more connected world.

GS1 B2C Initiative: What we need from you - Next Steps

• Key business practices for data – When to change the bar code? – must become more effective in a mixed on-line/bricks and mortar world.

• Our industry is very inconsistent on this practice.• Commercial practices like slotting fees often get in the way of doing

what is prescribed by the guidelines and changing the barcode. • Commercial practices can be a barrier to data integrity.• As consumers use their devices to gather information, we have the

responsibility to ensure that information is correct.

• Focus on standards that enable “factual data” • Product descriptions

• Ingredients and usage instructions

• NOT comparative marketing claims: (e.g. fat from yoghurt is better than fat from hamburgers)


• Please support the Consumer Goods Forum CALL for ACTION: • We will form this work group by reaching out to members

and asking them to set clear business requirements− Connect Business for Consumers/IT Committee

− Health & Wellness Committee

− Marketing Committee

• Align your participation through GS1 country Board and user groups to ensure an effective focus on standards and business requirements

• Support the proof of concept work underway in the 8 identified markets.

TCGF B2C Information Business Needs Group

To enable clear communication of user company business requirements and best practices in the “Business to Consumer” (B2C) information sharing space so that the solutions framework and standards proposed by the GS1 “Trusted Source of Data” work group reflect user needs and priorities thus making them easier to adopt and use to deliver value.

Focus on gathering insights from member companies that can be shaped into business requirements and shareable best practices currently in use for the creation, capture and sharing of B2C product attributes. Further the identification of key business processes for enabling the consumer to access trusted brand data – for example GTIN change processes should be addressed.

The Work Group should take care not to duplicate any work being done by the GS1 Project Board 56

© 2010 GS1

Early learnings from the Phase 1 Pilot

Technical Architecture can be simplified: Internet Application Providers should engage directly with Local Aggregators (i.e. no need for Gateway from pilot). This will: Reduce the potential cost of deploying a Gateway service to handle all

of the mobile scans – this could be very costly if the TSD is globally accepted and deployed

Reduce the ONS activity since most “local” scans will be satisfied directly by the “local” Aggregator resulting in faster response times

Global standards will be necessary to create interoperability between Local Aggregators and the ONS

Revenue # of Scorecards

1.Using GS1 Standards and utilities delivers better business results

2.The data in the scorecard helps set priorities and make choices

3.You can’t use the scorecard if you don’t have data in it!

CGF Global Scorecard Can you improve business results by implementing GS1 Standards?• We asked IBM to analyze the data and draw

conclusions between GS1 Standard implementation and hard business improvement.

• The answer was an unequivocal YES!

Companies implementing:• Lower distribution costs • Increased Invoice accuracy• Lower order to delivery lead

times• Better in-stock availability• And increased service levels

CGF Global Scorecard Use the scorecard data to understand start-up costs, establish priorities and make choices

Example from last year’s analysis:• Costs come down/service improves when orders are transacted

electronically. • Not applying capability to businesses in Asia. • Not new ground… we know how to do it and we know the value we get.
