UL Solutions’ latest ULTRUS software releases help companies meet consumer demands while achieving product, enterprise and asset compliance and sustainability goals through new features and offerings across the portfolio
NORTHBROOK, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, today announced several new ULTRUS software releases that further help companies ensure their compliance and make important progress in sustainability.
The ULTRUS software platform by UL Solutions includes offerings designed to help customers worldwide manage complex regulations, heighten product safety, operationalize sustainable practices and improve speed to market. The releases address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals; Scope 3, Category 1 emissions; wind farm planning, including a mapping feature with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for wind energy professionals; and other challenges.
“UL Solutions is staying ahead of the evolving needs of our customers with our powerful new ULTRUS software releases,” said John Genovesi, executive vice president and president of Software and Advisory at UL Solutions. “These new capabilities are providing our customers with expertise to help manage evolving regulatory requirements, deliver transparency across complex global supply chains and take action on sustainability. ULTRUS software further complements our testing, inspection and certification services.”
Many top retailers rely on UL Solutions’ WERCSmart®, an essential part of ULTRUS software, to help manage the safe handling, storage, transport and disposal of products while mitigating risks of noncompliance. UL Solutions recently enhanced WERCSmart® to help retailers identify PFAS in the products put on retail shelves and collect product documentation from manufacturers to enhance product safety and help protect the environment. PFAS are common substances used to make products resistant to stains or water, but they can linger in the environment and pose hazards to humans and animals.
UL Solutions launched its new Purchased Goods and Services module on the ULTRUS software platform. This module, part of the UL 360 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Sustainability platform, simplifies Scope 3, Category 1 emissions data management and reporting. Scope 3, Category 1 emissions include goods and services that organizations purchase from their suppliers. Managing this type of data is complex for organizations that work with global suppliers and large datasets that may be fragmented or in inconsistent formats. The new module helps organizations set targets, streamline reporting, and drive meaningful sustainability and financial resilience in a changing global economy.
UL Solutions also introduced new capabilities to its UL 360 ESG and Sustainability software’s ESG Disclosures module to enable data management for International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) disclosures. ULTRUS software users can pull data from the UL 360 platform directly into the module to manage ISSB requirements, providing a data source and audit trail for disclosed values. Legislation based on the ISSB standards is in force or under consideration in many jurisdictions, including Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the U.K.
Windnavigator software, part of the ULTRUS software platform, has a new AI feature to help wind energy professionals. This tool, called Windnavigator Resource Data and Maps, offers high-quality maps and data, making it easier for developers to find suitable wind farm sites and plan the initial project steps, leading to informed decisions about renewable energy options.
UL Solutions also introduced AI capabilities for automated learning content generation to its LearnShare™ software, which enables training and development professionals — including human resources and environmental, health and safety professionals — to quickly and easily create learning quizzes and transcriptions faster via large language models.
Last year, UL Solutions launched its ULTRUS software platform, uniting its flagship software to help customers meet regulatory, supply chain and sustainability challenges. Learn more about UL Solutions’ software and advisory offerings and expertise at https://www.UL.com/software/ULTRUS.
