"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.
