Contractors Pollution Liability

Companies are increasingly aware of their environmental liabilities. This is due to changes in legislation and regulation, and because of increased pressure on all organisations to behave in a socially ethical and environmentally responsible way.

To address these liabilities, our Contractors Pollution Liability insurance covers the insured and their subcontractors while performing at a job site. It offers protection for gradual as well as sudden and accidental environmental liability arising from contracted work carried out at customers’ project sites.

We work with clients to help identify potential environmental risks, offering solutions that minimise impact on profitability. We have a range of solutions from traditional risk transfer for simple operational exposures to tailored programmes specifically designed for complex projects.

Benefits:

  • Practical management for environmental liabilities from start to finish
  • Using our network we can help clients address their varying environmental liability responsibilities around the world
  • Costs of cover are very competitive, assisted by our streamlined and efficient underwriting process
  • Product innovation keeps one step ahead of legislative changes

Product Highlights:

  • Liability for third party bodily injury, property damage, trespass, nuisance or obstruction
  • Indemnity for clean up costs incurred in relation to the third party claims or where required by environmental law
  • Liability for damage to biodiversity including complementary and compensatory remediation costs

Further Information

For what kind of business would this be suitable?
Any business could be at risk. The European Directive on the environment has enforced governments to legislate for cleaning up pollution. So even if a business did not actually cause the pollution, if they own the land on which pollution has been found they may be required to clean it up. For contractors, the possibility of being found liable for clean up is even greater because of the nature of their business.
