Willis

The Willis Global Environmental Practice designs customized environmental insurance programs to address the risk exposures unique to each organization. Although every situation is different, programs generally fit into the following categories.

For ongoing operations and unknown risks, environmental programs can:

• Cover the environmental risks that might impact the operation of an industrial or commercial facility



• Cover environmental exposures created by the project activities of contractors, consultants and environmental service firms



• Protect lenders from environmental impairment of leased or mortgaged assets



• Remove or mitigate the environmental risks associated with change in ownership of a property

For legacy issues and known-loss scenarios, environmental programs can:

• Cap the cost of an ongoing or planned environmental cleanup project



• Address the reemergence of past environmental problems created by new regulatory requirements



• Provide clarity and certainty to legacy environmental issues and potentially provide a variety of financial, tax and accounting benefits



• Provide financial assurance that known future environmental liabilities, such as reclamation or closure obligations, can be addressed
