-- Three distinct organizations mark significant moment to continue 128-year 
history of safety science leadership

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:

    -- The UL Research Institutes brand signals its focus on rigorous 
       independent research into ongoing and emerging human safety risks. As 
       threats evolve and their consequences become more severe, UL Research 
       Institutes pursues scientific discovery to advance public safety — 
       marshaling resources to scan for and assess emerging human safety risks 
       in areas such as autonomous systems and artificial intelligence.

    -- The UL Standards & Engagement brand exemplifies its longstanding role as 
       a critical facilitator of standards-related public-private partnerships 
       around the world. UL Standards & Engagement translates data and safety 
       science research into actionable, rigorous safety standards and drives 
       safety advocacy campaigns focused on improving public safety.

    -- The UL Solutions brand represents its commitment to partnering with 
       customers and stakeholders around the world to help solve safety, 
       security and sustainability challenges. A global safety science leader, 
       UL Solutions delivers testing, inspection and certification services, 
       together with software products and advisory offerings, that support our 
       customers' product innovation and business growth.

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.
