Environmental Management – Systems and Standards
The "Environmental Management – Systems and Standards" brochure, prepared by the R & D unit of Swiss Re in America, discusses the insurance implications of the adoption by policyholders of environmental management systems (EMS) for assessing risk exposures.
It explores the relationship of EMS to risk assessment and risk management, and discusses the potential benefit to insurers of the adoption of well-accepted standards, such as the one developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO).
An analysis is made of scenarios concerning the impact of EMS upon specific product lines.
