Chemical companies operate in a dynamic and ever-evolving environment. From developing advanced technology to meet the demands of a sophisticated and socially-conscious customer, to navigating disruption-prone supply chain networks, these companies face an actively changing risk landscape.
With the adoption of newer technology in critical parts of their business models, chemical companies must place greater focus on cybersecurity to minimise business interruption and financial impacts to their businesses.

Due to the broad range of risk chemical companies are exposed to, companies often deploy a combination of policies and risk transfer strategies to protect assets and minimize potential damages. Some options for addressing their key areas of risk exposure include:
- Property insurance: This policy provides coverage for property damage and business interruption as a result of natural catastrophes, severe weather events, and other disruptive events.
- Casualty insurance: This coverage provides protection for workers’ compensation or similar, general/products liability, automobile liability/physical damage, and environmental liability.
- Cyber risk insurance: This policy covers various costs associated with losses from a cyberattack. The scope of coverage can be broad depending on the policy terms.
