The opportunity for brokers

The climate litigation landscape is heating up with 190 cases filed in just 12 months from June 2022 to May 2023

Data from Bain & Company shows premium revenue growth for commercial climate insurance solutions is set to more than double from around €25 billion (US$27.6 billion) in 2022 to €60 billion by 2030

Our Climate Professionals insurance is positioned to capture this opportunity

Extended cover for wider protection

We ensure your customers have relevant and reassuring cover with these extensions.

Public relations costs

Media scrutiny can be intense for businesses or individuals in the climate change space, especially those under investigation. Public relations costs help protect businesses against the expense of a PR campaign and responding to the media, preventing any further harm.

Mitigation of losses

This cover may be useful in circumstances where an assessment is incorrect and there is a need to take remedial action. For example, withdrawing statements and issuing revised ones to prevent claims for greenwashing.

Investigation costs

Dealing with investigations by legal bodies for breaches of climate regulations and obligations, for example greenwashing claims, can have a significant financial impact. This cover provides protection in the event of an investigation.

Prosecution Defence Costs

This provides cover for defence costs for criminal proceedings brought against an Insured under acts such as The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.
