Our commitment to a diverse and inclusive environment
Our focus on diversity and inclusion empowers us to build a culture in which all employees are inspired to share their talents, ideas, passions and experiences. We embody behaviors and actions to better serve the needs of our diverse customers by delivering innovative products and safety solutions as well as promoting inclusive and safe living and working environments.

We know that diversity and inclusion enables us to better and more successfully continue our mission.

Diversity + Inclusion Leadership Council - The leadership council serves as the voice of the employee and aligns to the Diversity + Inclusion priorities, initiatives and programs. This council is comprised of representatives from our regional ambassadors and Business Resource Group co-chairs.
UL Inclusion Promise
The UL Inclusion Promise is an internal commitment we encourage all UL colleagues to join in making our workplaces more inclusive. The promise is positioned to help drive inclusive behavior through our everyday interactions by sharing our time, talent and connection with people outside of our networks.
The promise enhances our employee experience, breaks barriers and silos and reinforces understanding of our business and productivity for customer success.
