Beazley doubles environmental risk capacity with new consortium at Lloyd’s

Beazley, backed by the Beazley Elements consortium of Lloyd’s insurers, has doubled its capacity for operational and fixed-site environmental risks to $50 million to cover the environmental liabilities of large multi-national companies.

Among the range of environmental risk covered include businesses that may face claims for polluting the premises of third parties; professional liability coverage for environmental consultants; protection for ongoing fixed site operations; contractor’s pollution liability; and brownfield site remediation.

The insurer’s key target industries are the manufacturing, industrial, real estate, hospital and educational sectors.

Jayne Cunningham, environmental focus group leader at Beazley, said: “The Lloyd’s market possesses unparalleled expertise and resources to address the most challenging risks confronting large businesses.

“In recent years, the importance of Lloyd’s as a source of expertise and capacity for large scale environmental exposures has increased significantly. The increased capacity available through the Beazley Elements consortium allows us to develop more solutions for larger businesses that address a wide range of known, and potential, pollution incidents.”
