Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Carriers for this program vary, and most placements are available on an admitted basis in eligible states. Underwriting focuses on both the property’s risk profile and its level of environmental performance or goals. Minimum premiums vary depending on the location, size, and type of property, as well as the scope of sustainability initiatives in place.
