PBC Environmental is a wholesale environmental insurance broker that provides our agent and broker customers with the capability to offer their insured specialized environmental risk and insurance services.

Environmental issues are complex and the agent or broker that depends on the insurer to guide them in placing an environmental policy is putting both their insured and their agency at risk of an uninsured claim.

Our mission is to enable our customers to offer their clients and prospects environmental insurance expertise with the confidence of knowing the coverage is there when needed and the premium is right.

For additional information, please visit Educational Environmental and Eldercare Environmental under the Programs section.

The PBC Environmental Approach

Our goal is to deliver our resources and capabilities to the agent and insured in whatever fashion that fits the circumstances.

In some cases, agents involve us in direct discussions with clients and or their professional advisors in order to address questions and develop strategies on individuals transactions and insurance programs.

Our core objective is making certain our agents and brokers enable their clients and prospects to make fully informed business decisions concerning environmental risk and insurance.

The Bottom Line

PBC Environmental is very different from other environmental wholesalers that most often provide little more than off the shelf product offerings. We develop new approaches and solutions to specific situations facing insureds as well as using our substantial market clout to drive superior premium levels.

In addition, there is no insurance product line that is better suited for revenue growth or for use as a platform for new client relationships than the new generation of environmental insurance policies.
