In this report, we look at the environmental risks faced by the construction industry and what companies can do to prevent pollution happening. We also cover how insurance can help to cover exposures if an incident does occur, while minimizing any reputational damage.
Even the best planned construction projects carry a risk of causing unintended pollution, from disturbing buried waste to accidental leaks and spills.
If toxic material gets into the atmosphere, rivers or groundwater, it can cause a risk to human health and potential biodiversity loss.
