ULTRUS™: The Future of Corporate Compliance and Sustainability
UL Solutions’ latest investment in its software portfolio, ULTRUS, opens the door to superior business management
November 1, 2024
Since 1894, UL Solutions has cultivated a global reputation as a leader in safety science. Back then, its unique selling proposition was testing and certifying appliances — its UL certification mark remains a household mainstay in kitchens across the world. But as the safety landscape invariably changes, so does UL Solutions. Having made many software acquisitions and homegrown investments in modern technologies, UL Solutions’ latest expansion is a portfolio of innovative software that offers one consistent user-experience across compliance, sustainability, learning, health, and energy to help business’ drive sustainable and safe performance — ULTRUS.
ULTRUS
The mission that inspired ULTRUS is simple: keeping people, product, and planet safer. This means raising acute awareness of chemical handling across the supply chain, helping you stay on top of sustainability initiatives, facilitating the onboarding and upskilling of employees, managing workplace safety incidents, and determining how to optimize renewable energy systems. This mission has evolved into ULTRUS Collections — five specialized areas in which ULTRUS software offers expert guidance and fuss-free business solutions.
1. Compliance
When it comes to launching a product or entering a new market, supporting compliance should top your agenda. Navigating changing regulations, product stewardship responsibilities, and supply chain transparency are necessary hurdles, but not ones you need face alone. With ULTRUS Compliance, teams in research and design, product development, compliance, environment, and health and safety can quickly assess products and materials for regulated chemicals. This cuts the time drain of manual data collection significantly, helping to keep up with varying regional regulations and reducing the risk of human error. This means getting your products into markets faster and keeping them there, suffering less frustrating penalties and minimizing reputational harm.
2. Sustainability
Now more than ever, environmental, social and governance (ESG) imperatives are assessing business’ sustainability claims with a fine-tooth comb. Don’t leave it up to chance to uncover something. Having a dedicated ESG disclosures module that offers a single workspace to access, manage and complete your responses to ESG regulations and frameworks, such as CDP and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, is crucial. The ULTRUS sustainability platform enhances the accuracy of data collection, management, reporting and preparation for third-party verification, meaning your business will have a centralized and transparent data hub that meets all relevant sustainability standards.
3. Energy
ULTRUS renewables software establishes a powerful hub for energy analysts to implement and optimize energy systems. From prospecting the optimal location to importing and analyzing resource data, the ULTRUS software interface is designed to help reduce risks and simplify project development for wind, solar and storage technologies. No matter where your business is on its energy journey, you can save on installation and maintenance costs while working towards achieving your ideal energy mix.
4. Learning
Maintaining an astute, safe and productive workforce is the template of a successful business. Learning and development leaders who strive to build a safety-conscientious workforce, upskill employees, and meet compliance are ideal candidates for ULTRUS Learning. This platform pairs an extensive course library with flexible training to provide an end-to-end learning management suite. You can engage in industry-specific content created by experts around workplace safety, regulations and best practices. Or you can create personalized courseware, automate tailored learning plans and utilize the validated qualification system to keep an audit-ready record of employee certifications.
5. Health
While the priority is always to reduce the likelihood of incidents, mistakes can happen. ULTRUS Health gives occupational medical experts the tools to decrease operational overheads and provide better patient experiences after incidents. From the employer side, you can streamline incident and case management, as well as compliance and document management, to help boost efficiency. From the clinic side, you can drive practice management and spend less time on paperwork. Implementing company-specific protocols and customizations means you can enact client-specific patient handling and billing procedures. Plus, giving employees faster access to laboratory results can reduce wait times, thanks to electronic forms that can be handled ahead of time.
The ULTRUS Collections form the foundations of a thriving business. With ergonomic interface and cutting-edge automations, ULTRUS software can unlock state-of-the-art insights to help your business reach your goals faster, more easily, and more safely. If you are looking for a way to streamline your business processes, make ULTRUS software your toolkit essential.
