Environmental Liability

Pollution liabilities are no longer the impossible risk management problems they once were. Today, the ACE Group offers a full range of environmental liability solutions, from traditional risk transfer for simple operational exposures to custom structured programs designed specifically for complex merger, acquisition or liability relief transactions.

ACE’s environmental liability offering goes well beyond traditional insurance. ACE helps its clients identify potential risks and provides hands-on management for those liabilities through conclusion. In many cases, allowing ACE to lessen the risk of environmental issues formerly thought impossible can free up assets and return idle resources to productive use.

Product Highlights
ACE’s environmental liability offering includes site environmental liability, contractors pollution liability and remediation cost containment. The following is an overview of the types of coverages that are available. Specific policy wordings should be consulted to determine whether a particular risk is covered.

Site Environmental Liability
For a single or multiple locations, ACE covers the following risks:

  • Clean-up due to discovery of contamination
  • Clean-up due to government order or third-party suit
  • Bodily injury or property damage
  • Legal defense
  • Contingent transportation and disposal
  • Business interruption
  • First-party diminution in value

ACE can also write custom policies for the following types of liability:

  • Commercial environmental
  • Real estate environmental
  • Retrospective environmental legal and remediation

Contractors Pollution Liability
Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL) offers pollution liability protection for gradual as well as sudden and accidental third-party environmental liabilities arising out of the covered operations of an insured. CPL offers an array of coverages for an insured and their subcontractors while performing covered operations at a job site.

Remediation Cost Containment
Designed to act as a cap for the costs of a remediation project, this type of insurance can be combined with the coverages above or purchased on a monoline basis. It is useful for contaminated sites such as superfund sites, contaminated properties owned by all sizes of business, developers that specialize in Brownfield projects, contractors or consultants offering a “contractual guarantee” of remediation costs and goals, and governmental entities in possession of and/or responsible for the actual remediation of contaminated sites.
