UL Solutions Global Supplier Standards of Conduct
UL Solutions supplier partnerships
Engaging with Global Strategic Sourcing
The Global Strategic Sourcing team manages UL Solutions’ supplier partnerships in more than 100 countries to support our mission of working for a safer world. We are continuously evaluating these partnerships and are interested in learning the latest about your capabilities. If you do not currently work with our organization, please provide your information through the link below, and we will use that data to determine if there is an opportunity matching our current or future business needs.
Supplier onboarding
UL Solutions has implemented Graphite Connect, a third-party tool to manage our supplier onboarding process. The tool helps ensure that approved suppliers have a safer, more secure online method of entering and updating required information. Please see the Supplier Onboarding page for more information.
Supplier diversity
At UL Solutions, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a business imperative that drives long-term, sustainable competitive advantage.
A critical component of our DEI strategy is our focus on supplier diversity. Supplier diversity promotes marketplace inclusion by providing opportunities for businesses owned by underrepresented groups to compete and succeed.
We continue to strengthen our supplier diversity program by working with local and national diverse suppliers, helping them grow while enhancing our supply chain.
Diverse suppliers are defined as businesses that are at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group that is part of a traditionally under-represented or under-served group, such as minorities, women, LGBTQ+, individuals with disabilities and veterans. These sellers must be certified by a national or regional organization that validates diversity status.
If you are a diverse supplier and do not currently work with our organization, please provide your information through the link below, and we will use that data to determine if there is an opportunity matching our current or future business needs.
If you meet the definition of a diverse supplier but are not currently certified and are interested in learning more about the benefits and process of becoming certified, please visit the applicable link below:

Supplier ethics and compliance
UL Solutions Global Supplier Standards of Conduct
Suppliers play an important role in helping us fulfill our mission of working for a safer world. Although our suppliers are independent entities, their actions and decisions when doing business with or on behalf of UL Solutions affect our business and reputation for integrity. With this in mind, we have recently updated our Global Supplier Code of Conduct and are asking that all suppliers review and adhere to our updated policy. Our suppliers are required to embrace a commitment to integrity, quality and ethical conduct. To measure and ensure compliance, we will contact all suppliers in the next 12-18 months to assess how well responsible sourcing criteria have been met. All suppliers, their employees, agents and subcontractors must comply with our Global Supplier Code of Conduct.
