In the manufacturing industry, innovation and production are the driving forces that fuel economic growth and shape the world we live in. However, with great growth comes great exposure to risk, particularly in the realm of environmental impact. At Marsh, we recognize the importance of understanding and managing these risks to ensure a sustainable future for both your business and the planet.
The manufacturing industry is undergoing significant changes from an environmental liability perspective. With increasing awareness of environmental issues and stricter regulations, manufacturers are facing greater scrutiny and increased potential liabilities. Companies are now expected to adopt sustainable practices, reduce their carbon footprint, and mitigate the impact of their operations on the environment. Additionally, emerging technologies and innovations are reshaping the manufacturing landscape, presenting both opportunities and challenges in managing environmental risks.
Manufacturing clients face environmental exposures across the spectrum of their business, including from operational releases, legacy contamination from prior operations, products, and contractual & financial obligations. Risk savvy companies effectively manage risk through comprehensive environmental insurance solutions designed for their organizations’ profile.
By partnering with Marsh, manufacturing clients can achieve tailored insurance programs that address their specific risk exposures
As an industry leader in providing environmental placement and claims solutions, our team handles more than 500 claims annually and has advocated on more than 2,500 claims in the past five years. Among our 40 dedicated environmental colleagues, nearly half have received Risk & Insurance’s Power Broker award, a designation given to risk management professionals based on demonstrated excellence in solving insurance-related issues, per client testimonial.
