Environmental risk management is more than just complying with a complex set of federal and provincial regulations. It is more than controlling the likelihood and potential severity of spills, releases and related events. An effective strategy is cost efficient, addresses a broad range of issues and protects your organization from potentially severe losses and public scrutiny. At Marsh, we can help you develop this strategy. Our network of local, national and global experts represent a powerful set of solutions.

Managing environmental risk is a challenge few organizations can avoid. Problems come in many forms and can include:

• An acquisition that stalls when the risk of remediating a polluted site can’t be quantified
• A building owner being sued over an accidental spill at a construction project that contaminates adjacent property and groundwater
• A municipal sewer authority facing a court order to clean up the local harbor
• A business held liable for pollution losses arising from an asset long after it was sold
• An organization’s damaged reputation as a result of unfavorable press coverage related to an environmental loss
