Environmental Risk Insurance is called a way to finance the elimination of disasters 18:53

Sberbelling proposes to impose imposed environmental risks for business in Russia. This was announced on March 12 at a press conference by Mikhail Volkov, General Manager of Sberbelip.

According to him, this will enable financing to eliminate the consequences of environmental disasters.

Volkov stressed that the state is very careful to monitor environmental pollution. At the same time, despite solid standards and high fines, accidents that are leakage of harmful substances and other environmental disasters continue to occur. For example, the head of the savings was brought to the Kerch Strait with a fuel spill.

According to the Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology, Alexander Kozlov, 280 hectares of the beach need to be restored. At the same time, the latest damage to the animal world and the natural ecosystems to the court will be calculated by Rosprirodnadzor.

Volkov recalled that the responsibility of the courts’ responsibility was insured against the environmental risk, but for them the total amount of insurance did not exceed 4 billion rubles. In his opinion, if you take into account the amount of work to eliminate the consequences of the accident deployed in the region, it will be understood that this will not be enough.

“After the accident, the president of the country gave the government a series of instructions, including finding mechanisms to draw additional vehicles to eliminate oil and oil products in the country,” he said.

The Head of Savings Insurance believes that insurance can be such a mechanism.

“Studies should be imposed for large jobs associated with the risk of high environmental pollution. In addition, it is necessary to introduce the standards of insurance amounts depending on the volume and type of dangerous product and the characteristics of the policy owner: containers, carriers, routes and other points. ”
