The GIM Advantage
GIM's team of inspectors, auditors and lab experts are specialized by industry to ensure your products meet all safety and performance standards for your destination market.
Modern ethical consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the environmental impact their products have, and supply chain ethics can be a strong influence on the purchasing decisions of consumers.
The cosmetics industry is one such example. Strong ethical and environmental credentials can help brands to reap the rewards of customer loyalty and great press.
The best way to protect the reputation of your cosmetics brand is through ethical and environmental audits. This will help you to attain good corporate citizenship while ensuring your products are of a consistently high quality.
Global Inspection Managing offers a comprehensive range of ethical audits that can be conducted to the highest international standards (SA 8000, ETI, SMETA), to your company’s own specifications or to our own cosmetics expertise protocol.
When it comes to lab testing for cosmetics, our ethical and environmental audit programs cover the following:

Global Inspection Managing’s comprehensive quality control services will help you to secure the safety and quality of your cosmetic products. Our product inspections can be performed onsite at each stage of the manufacturing process, to ensure that cosmetics are manufactured to your precise specifications.
