ACE Environmental Risk has released a new advisory, “Premises Pollution Liability Coverage: Essential Protection, Operational Risks.” The purpose of the advisory is to help businesses understand current and developing operational and historical environmental liabilities, provide essential recommendations on how companies both in the United States and abroad can best protect themselves against a new and wider range of pollution exposures, understand changing regulatory requirements and examine current insurance programs to ensure the appropriate coverages are in place. Ace also broadened its Premises Pollution Liability coverage options to help organizations protect against operational pollution exposures.
