At NORTH, you get innovative and value-adding insurance advice with a focus on the correct insurance coverage for your business, and our environmental liability specialists contribute their experience and knowledge in a highly complex insurance area.

Our goals

Your insurance needs are our goal

The complexity of the commercial insurance market is constantly increasing. In particular, recent years have shown a global expansion of environmental legislation, and corporate boardroom agendas now have the environment, ESG and sustainability at the top of the agenda.

More restrictive legislation could mean that your company’s equity could take a hit if you haven’t addressed your environmental risks. Through The NORTH Way, we will help you analyze your insurance profile, assess your risks, recommend insurance solutions and monitor your business needs as they evolve.

That’s why, more than ever, you need an independent insurance broker with strong negotiating power to give you and your business a clear overview – and ensure you get the right coverages at the right prices. At NORTH, the independent broker is backed up by our specialist teams in a wide range of insurance products, including environmental liability.

Experience and market knowledge

Our specialists have decades of experience and understand the needs of businesses for concrete advice on the big and small issues of everyday life.

There will undoubtedly be a need for sparring, dialog and concrete feedback, not least if the damage affects your company or if you receive a public law order from the municipality to investigate or clean up. How are you covered if your neighbor makes a claim for pollution damage caused gradually as part of your business operations?

Our specialists have many years of experience with both insurance companies and insurance brokers and therefore know the stakeholders in virtually all insurance companies and have in-depth knowledge and access to fast and competent partners, which helps your company to clarify the circumstances of a claim or uncover risks that may arise along the way, even outside the renewal period.
