“This new product gives our clients the power to make informed risk management decisions supported by data, analytics and modeling while also complementing loss control and efficient risk management strategies,” said Brian McBride, head of Environmental Broking, Willis Towers Watson.HEAT has risk scoring calculations based on several factors, such as operational, historical and locational risk; surrounding properties; industry class; compliance; jurisdictional litigation; climate; and environmental regulatory information. The tool works in conjunction with risk management teams to complement existing risk programs and make informed decisions supported by data, analytics, modeling and risk scoring. HEAT also differentiates risk to underwriters, demonstrating a focus on risk management, exposure identification and prioritization, and loss control.“HEAT offers a compelling way to differentiate risk and achieve reliable risk management results backed by analytics,” added Jim O’Connor, head of Middle Market Broking Solutions and Specialty Broking. “Being the first tool of its kind in the environmental insurance broking arena, it further establishes our position as the analytical broker.
