Are there any plans to provide Sustainability attributes to the list? Not just if the product packaging is recyclable. Like, is this a womens owned business or minority owned?

Howdy. That is a great question that I just sent to our standards subject matter expert to see if GS1 is working on anything like that. I will get back to you with an answer.

Good morning. I hope you had a pleasant weekend. We have a number of "sustainability" attributes. If we can get a listing of the content you want to provide, we can provide mapping or see what we can do to add attributes.

Business attributes around ownership, etc, are best to be populated in a recipient's vendor record as they apply to the company and not the product. If placed in the product, any change in these would require a change to all of the product records. If in the vendor record at the recipient, then it is a single change.
