Guiding Principles We take pride in our core principles of honesty, integrity and trust. Together with our Code of Ethics, these inform decisions at every level of our organization. These principles inform decisions and processes at every level of our organization through ongoing training, comprehensive monitoring, regular reporting, inspector management, project auditing, process and systems analysis and control. We have deployed many of the methodologies used by USA banking regulators in achieving a greater level of compliance with our internal policies and directives. GS is unique among inspection companies in that we have a complete department dedicated to ethics compliance and anti-bribery management. During our years in the inspection and testing industry, GS has been exposed to every “trick of the trade” by factories, suppliers, inspectors, and auditors. Collecting, collating, and analyzing many years of inspection and audit data has provided GS management with a significant knowledge base that helps our compliance group spot trends, patterns and anomalies in the inspection and audit reporting process. Backed up by our comprehensive physical monitoring plan, we have been extremely successful in mitigating these issues.

GS is different Global Marketplace is littered with “inspection and testing” companies. There are scores of companies operating in China with negligible operations, unlicensed, and who hire marginally qualified sub-contractors who tend to supplement their income with bribes. These companies come and go as quickly as they are discovered operating illegally. However, they do capture market share, and no doubt have contributed to some of the quality perceptions people have concerning products manufactured in Asia . At the other end of the spectrum are the large public companies. While the performance of many of these companies is no doubt adequate, the inspections is often nothing more than an afterthought for them. Their core businesses revolve around certification, heavy industry inspections and testing, and so on. Plus they are often very expensive and inflexible. As recent history has demonstrated, there is much advantage to seeking out a company that specializes in exactly what you need, and whose core business is the service you are seeking. That company is GS. The advantages of using GS as your inspection and testing provider come down to the many ways that we differentiate ourselves in the industry.
