Environmental Damage or Pollution

Environmental Damage
Or Pollution
Protect Yourself!

While we are increasingly conscious about the importance of environmental problems and their impact on the future of our planet, insurance companies are integrating these issues in their civil liability policies.

As a business leader, you must take into consideration environmental factors, especially if the activities of your company put you at risk. It is important for you to know that regular corporate civil liability contracts exclude pollution.

Generally, corporate civil liability contracts for pollution only cover nuisances with accidental causes, such as an explosion or a pipe breakage.

Various Sources

We distinguish the different types of environmental damage by their origin:

• A Permanent Installation
• A Vehicle – The risks mainly concern vehicles for the transport of dangerous materials
• A Service – Companies who engage in off-site activities (architects, design office, public works company, etc.)
• A Delivered Product – Industrials are responsible for some of the damage caused by the products they make
