Why is ULSE is at COP30?

At UL Standards & Engagement, safety and sustainability go hand in hand. Our standards translate scientific insight into technical frameworks that help policymakers, manufacturers, and innovators address climate risks — from battery fires and energy-storage safety to resilient infrastructure and circular-materials design.

Building on a 130-year legacy that began with the electrification of modern life, ULSE continues to expand its work across rechargeable devices, renewable energy, sustainability, and digital innovation. By aligning with global partners and engaging new voices in standards development, we help ensure that the technologies powering progress are reliable, equitable, and safe.


Our Focus at COP30
  • Safe Clean Energy Transitions: Standards supporting safe electrification, renewable integration, and grid resilience.
  • Circularity & Sustainability: UL 3600-series standards that measure circular-economy performance and corporate sustainability.
  • Global Collaboration & Trust: Strengthening partnerships with ISO and IEC to align international safety and sustainability frameworks.
