A Positive Force is Ultra's commitment to a sustainable future - enabling us to conduct our business in an ethical, safe and sustainable way.
Our Company purpose to ‘Innovate today for a safer tomorrow’ lies at the heart of Ultra’s value proposition and everything we do. We deliver this purpose through innovation in our technologies and our openness to searching for new ways to deliver outstanding solutions to our customers’ most complex problems in defence, security, critical detection and control environments. It’s by providing them with the insight, technology and services they need to perform at their best that we help them make the world a safer place, tackling some of the biggest challenges our society faces.
Our employee goal at Ultra is to create an inclusive, inspiring and dynamic work environment that attracts, develops and retains the best diverse talent. Understanding what motivates our employees and how we can support their wellbeing helps us to provide a supportive workplace with opportunities that enrich skills and experience.
Protecting our planet includes both reducing our environmental footprint but also protecting the societies and world that we live in. The increase of near peer threats is amplifying the need for allied defence investments in the ‘five-eyes’ nations and Ultra is a key part in creating the technologies that keep us all safe. We aspire to minimise our environmental footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing waste, and limiting excess energy and water use at our sites.
Corporate Governance is at the heart of everything we do, it demonstrates that it is not only important what we do, but also how we do it, in line with our ASPIRE values. We actively welcome advancements in governance and recognise its increasing importance in meeting with our obligations. We are actively promoting our fourth pillar as an integral part of our ‘Positive Force’ framework.
