Our Approach
Our approach to sustainability is informed by international standards and best practices related to human rights, protecting the environment, ethical and efficient operations. We align our approach with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in addition to leveraging the key topics of importance to our stakeholders and an ongoing assessment of risks and opportunities within our business and supply chain to drive our sustainability strategy.
Compliance
Integrity, ethics, transparency—just words really. That is, until a company commits to making them integral to its business conduct. At Universal, that commitment permeates our operations at every level, every day. From risk mitigation to scrupulous attention to laws and regulations, compliance is embedded in our DNA and visible in our risk mitigation efforts, ethical decision-making processes and corporate governance policies. Because, Universal’s management fervently believes that doing the right thing the right way is the only way to do business. It’s just what leaders do.
