ACE Group today announced that its environmental underwriting division, ACE Environmental Risk, earned top honors from Business Insurance magazine as a recipient of the publication’s 2015 Innovation Awards Program. Now in its sixth year, the Business Insurance Innovation Awards recognize leadership and innovation for professional risk managers that focus on new technology, new products and services, and other advancements in the insurance industry.

ACE was recognized for ACE ALERTSM (ACE Logistical Environmental Response Technology), a complimentary program developed for its U.S. domestic environmental clients that offers immediate support after an environmental release. The ACE ALERT portal available 24/7 on computers, smartphones and tablets, instantaneously connects the insured to an expert response team that can provide access to clean-up contractors, disaster experts, environmental assessors, and more. The program is designed to help ACE Environmental Risk customers better manage and potentially contain costs and limit liability after environmental incidents, including, but not limited to, releases of regulated substances, along with discoveries of mold, asbestos or legionella, which may require clean-up and site remediation.

Craig Richardson, Senior Vice President of ACE Environmental Risk, commented, “We thank Business Insurance for this award and appreciate the industry recognition for our product innovation. We are proud of our team for their creativity and vision. By developing this unique, innovative program, clients now have more support in mitigating the aftermath of an environmental incident.”

ACE has been a past winner of the Innovator Award, and most recently in 2013, its primary casualty division, ACE Risk Management Global Casualty, received the Innovation Award for ACE AcceleratorSM, a web-based technology solution that allows risk managers to quickly review, execute and submit all the forms needed to complete the election process for Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage.
