• William (Bill) P. Hazelton, SVP, ACE Environmental Risk

• Michael Balmer, Environmental Practice Leader, Willis

Until recently, much of the attention on environmental liability insurance has focused on the U.S. While regulations concerning pollution liability and the use of the insurance to mitigate environmental risk are well-established, the growing number of companies in Europe and emerging countries in Asia and Latin America, for example, find an evolving regulatory landscape. As companies add environmental insurance to their portfolios, the challenges and complexities of placing coverage outside the U.S. is daunting, even for savvy risk managers. This webinar will cover the recent changes in the global environmental risk marketplace, including regulatory, legislative, geographic and operational issues, as well as insurance requirements and the state of the global environmental insurance market.

In addition to the webinar, you can download an ACE Environmental white paper written by Ace panelists William (Bill) P. Hazelton, SVP, ACE Environmental Risk and Karl Russek, SVP, ACE Overseas General:

In both developed and emerging countries around the globe, government officials are responding to the potent combination of industrial growth and ecological concern with new environmental regulations and tougher enforcement of existing laws and regulations. In this increasingly global economy, companies need to adopt a holistic approach to risk management that carefully considers the environmental risks, environmental regulations, and insurance requirements in each country where they operate or may operate in the future.
