Accreditations
Quality and environmental accreditations may not be the primary reason for selecting GI Solutions Group, but we believe it to be important to our clients, ourselves, our industry and the societies affected by our business that we strive to adhere to such standards.
ISO 18001
An internationally recognised standard, against which GI Insight is assessed by an external third party. It demonstrates that we are being proactive in improving Health & Safety at work, controlling risks and minimising potential harm to employees and visitors.
ISO 27001
An internationally recognised accreditation, this award proves GI Insight's information security management has reached the required standard. This means that clients can be assured that their confidential data is securely stored and accessible only to appropriate members of staff. The standard required for the qualification is maintained by on-site assessment, carried out by an external third party.

- Fairly and lawfully processed
- Processed for limited purposes
- Adequate, relevant and not excessive
- Accurate

DMA Membership
GI Solutions Group is a member of the DMA, an industry body which promotes best practice and raises standards within the Direct Marketing (DM) industry. All members must abide by a code of practice, which is upheld by the DM Authority. Our membership of the DMA offers assurance to clients that we are committed to a high standard of service and conformance to legal and other requirements.
Carbon Neutral
The Carbon Neutral Company works with clients to reduce carbon emissions and facilitate carbon off-setting. This means that for every tonne of carbon that we cannot reduce, we pay for one to be reduced elsewhere in the world. Therefore, carbon emissions are reduced both locally and on a global scale. GI Insight’s Carbon Neutral accreditation will work in conjunction with ISO 14001 to demonstrate our commitment to making a difference in terms of our global environmental impact. Both our manufacturing division and our offices are completely offset, enabling us to offer our clients a completely carbon neutral mailing should they require it.
Business Continuity
The GI Solutions Group has implemented, and will be maintaining, a business continuity plan and management system based on the BSI Publicly Available Specification on Business Continuity Management (PAS 56) to counteract interruptions to normal business activity and to protect critical processes from the effects of failures or damage to vital services or facilities.
