Environmental/Pollution Liability: A Critical Risk Across Key Industries

Environmental liability insurance is a growing concern for Canadian businesses across manufacturing, construction, transportation, real estate development, and many other industries. As environmental regulations in Canada become increasingly stringent, organizations face significant exposure to financial penalties, cleanup costs, third-party claims, and legal action resulting from pollution events and environmental contamination. Environmental impairment liability can impact companies of all sizes.

While some environmental risks like chemical spills or tank leaks are immediately evident, others such as gradual contamination or historical pollution may be less obvious. That is why comprehensive pollution liability insurance is essential—it provides critical protection against both sudden accidental releases and gradual pollution events.
