Organizations of all types are under increasing pressure to respond to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) demands from their customers, investors, employees, management and regulators. Our collective understanding of exactly what is environmental, social and governance improvement is evolving and changing, creating potential for liability for companies seeking to raise capital using an ESG product.

When considering how Directors and Officers (D&O) coverage will respond to ESG related claims, it's key to partner with brokers who have expertise in real estate, ESG and D&O insurance.
