Multiple coverage parts allow for unique customization, including coverage for transportation pollution, business interruption, contractors’ liability and products pollution.  Coverage includes restoration costs (including) green-up costs, separate limit for emergency response and crisis management.

This policy can be offered on a global basis and limits can be deployed on a primary or excess basis.

Coverage can include an optional coverage part to provide limited 1st Party clean-up for pollution incidents not related to a storage tank system.

Separate, standalone coverage parts can be selected when an insured seeks to add this coverage to a broader program within the GLEE and ELL policies. Coverage is offered on a claims made basis. We have a broad appetite for products pollution and the ability to consider a wide array of products within market.
