International compliance certifications are essential for companies wanting to communicate transparency and gain customer trust. Customer trust is the most valuable asset in the world; it is challenging to attain but can easily be lost. The GC-Mark exists to inspire confidence in customers, giving them a familiar experience no matter where they are in the world.
The GC-Mark is a Global Conformance Mark that has been approved in Germany and is internationally recognised, allowing you to publically highlight your business’ success in meeting national and international standards for your sector. The DQS CFS team developed the GC-Mark criteria based on the achievement of a standard of excellence achieved in the set criteria. Spanning over 70 fields, the GC-Mark can be applied to quality, safety, environment, ethics, hygiene products, and supplier development programmes, to name a few.
How is GC-Mark different?
Unlike other certifications, the GC-Mark has been designed to be visually attractive and easily understood. Unlike ISO certifications, there are no complicated alpha-numeric abbreviations. This has made it simpler to market your achievements to the target audience and for brand strategy. Available to any organisation whom wants to give assurance in relation to having a safe workplace, being a green company, product quality or ethical conformity to name a few, this is an internationally recognised mark of excellence that can be applied to organisations, products and services. The GC-Mark is an excellent way to translate your ISO certification into an easily recognised, integrated and visually attractive message that everyone can relate to and understand.

Are there any benefits to the GC-Mark?
The GC-Mark is an easily identified label that shows your organisation’s dedication to maintaining international standards with excellence, and that customer trust is pivotal. This easy to recognise label is consistent and is an identifying marker of the quality that customers rely on, creating trust and confidence at a glance. The process of attaining the GC-Mark also serves as a means to audit your organisation’s current state and improve excellence and efficiency through the process of gaining certification.
The use of the GC-Mark is only permitted once the organisation, product or service to which it applies has been evaluated by DQS. The certification is valid for a limited period, assuring customers that the relevant progress is being made to keep up with evolving standards and regulations.
Consumer trust has a new name with GC-Mark and DQS!
You have never shown yourself like this before!
