Webinar Series—Green Construction

While the economic downturn has affected the construction market, green building has continued the steady growth that has been seen over the last few years as companies have become aware of the financial and environmental advantages offered by sustainable building development. Thus, green building is no longer a distant consideration, but a reality that must be faced by owners, developers, designers, and contractors, and those who manage their risks and place their insurance coverages.

Green building offers significant opportunities for the construction industry; however, as with any emerging trend, it also presents risk. The risks range from traditional risk issues to new exposures that are specific to the sustainable building industry. While some of these risks are covered by the traditional insurance policies, and the insurance industry is now starting to offer specialized products designed to address green building construction, management of these risks requires a carefully constructed risk management strategy.

This webinar series will address the growing risks and potential exposures of green construction, strategies for identifying and managing these risks, and emerging insurance coverage considerations and products.
