VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, March 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The ongoing debate over logging practices and watershed health in British Columbia highlights the increasing environmental risks businesses face. Potential pollution events such as erosion, sediment runoff, and chemical spills threaten water quality and pose significant financial liability.

“The uncertainty surrounding potential watershed impacts underscores the need for businesses to protect themselves," says Calvin Lim, CEO of UW Insure Brokers "Pollution liability insurance is designed specifically to cover unexpected incidents that can have devastating environmental and financial consequences.”

What Does Pollution Liability Insurance Cover?

- Remediation Costs: Covers the expenses of cleaning up contaminated soil or water.
- Third-Party Claims: Provides protection against lawsuits related to environmental damage or harm to public health.
- Legal Defence: Covers the costs of legal representation in the event of litigation.
- Business Interruption: Can offset lost income if a pollution incident forces operations to pause.

Protecting BC's Environment and Businesses

"Pollution liability insurance isn't just about protecting individual businesses; it's about safeguarding our shared natural resources," Calvin Lim emphasises.
