Environmental risks and associated third-party liabilities can threaten your organization’s financial health. You must protect your balance sheet from uninsured, unbudgeted and out-of-pocket expenses associated with:

  • Environmental cleanup obligations
  • Potential long-tail liability
  • Toxic tort claims
  • Third-party liability (bodily injury/property damage)
  • Legal defense costs stemming from a wide range of environmental exposures
