HDI Global, a corporate and specialty insurer, has announced plans to expand its environmental liability insurance to the international market.  

This expansion is driven by evolving risk factors and increasing regulatory pressures. 

Currently, the environmental liability coverage is available in Italy, Portugal and Spain. 

Starting next year, the company plans to supplement its environmental liability coverage with additional optional S&G coverages.  

HDI Global stated that this launch positions it as the “first insurer” to offer “full-spectrum”, customised environmental, social and governance (ESG) liability coverage to clients and brokers worldwide. 

This ESG product aims to support clients in their transformation efforts by safeguarding against costs incurred from realised risks in the social criteria and crisis management costs within the governance criteria.
