“Managing environmental risks can be a challenge for public entities, especially in today’s economic climate,” said Paul Cunney, Vice President, ACE Public Entity Practice Leader. “ACE understands these challenges and we have developed this podcast to provide useful and targeted information to help the public and educational sectors better manage their environmental risks.”
The new ACE podcast includes commentary from Mr. Cunney and Jon Peeples, Vice President, ACE Environmental Risk, who oversees the Public Entity products for that group. It also looks at the significant growth rate of environmental exposure among cities, counties, states, special districts and school districts.
According to Mr. Peeples, “The public entity and educational sectors continue to face a wide variety of exposures to pollution risks resulting from gaps in appropriate environmental liability coverage. Through this podcast we demonstrate ACE’s continued commitment to serving the unique environmental needs of public entities by providing simplified, affordable, and readily available products to help mitigate this risk.”
