Three distinct organizations mark significant moment to continue 128-year history of safety science leadership
NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the UL enterprise revealed new brands for its three organizations — UL Research Institutes, UL Standards & Engagement and UL Solutions. The brands reflect and clarify the unique role that each organization plays in working for a safer world.
"Our expertise in safety science has enabled the advancement of the human experience, including safety at work and home, for more than 128 years," said James Shannon, board chairman, UL Research Institutes and UL Solutions. "While the brands signify a new era for each of our organizations, we share a history and the UL and Underwriters Laboratories names, which are synonymous with safety science leadership. Our brands may be evolving, but our commitment to working for a safer world is constant."
The UL enterprise confronts safety challenges head-on, turning questions and hypotheses into discoveries, and innovating to ensure that scientific knowledge is applied. The three organizations' capacity to create change is amplified by a distinctive network of researchers, engineers, technologists, government regulators, technical experts and business leaders to advance safety science.
Each of the three organizations — two nonprofit organizations and the commercial business — serves a distinct role in helping to advance safety science:
While the logos for the organizations have been updated to reflect the new brands, the existing UL Certification Marks, which signal high-quality performance and independent third-party safety, security and sustainability certification, will remain unchanged.
