Safeguarding your business with targeted environmental risk solutions

Over the past two years, sustainability and environmental performance has become as important as shareholder dividends to many corporate boards.

Environmental incidents can lead to large clean-up costs, business interruption losses and, often, company directors facing personal liability. Multinational businesses face further challenges in managing these environmental liabilities given that legislation varies in each continent.

Backed by 24 years’ experience in the international environmental markets and placement experience in Africa, Australia, LATAM, UK and the EU – our team have a detailed understanding of local legislation around the world.
