Facing up to environmental risk

With increasing responsibilities arising from environmental regulation and legislation, smart business owners are taking a closer look at the environmental liabilities they may face.

Unfortunately in many instances they are finding that their traditional liability insurance will not cover them for potential pollution liabilities.

It combines the wide coverage and benefits of Chubb’s existing public and products liability insurance with protection against environmental liabilities including sudden and gradual pollution.
