Peter Breitstone is the CEO of Aon Environmental Services Group.
Breitstone is available to speak on how the insurance industry is
being pushed to develop solutions to problems, such as climate change,
that are not yet measurable and how this complicated matter will
depend not only on the continued participation of private insurers but
also on legislative, regulatory and political action. Sustainability
is forcing companies in all sectors to shift from a single-minded
focus on the financial bottom line to a more holistic business view
that encompasses economic, social and environmental impact and
considers the changing and multiplying corporate governance
regulations worldwide. The growing emphasis firms now place on
sustainability has forced them to closely examine the topic of global
warming and how it is emerging as a significant risk factor for their
business. In order to reduce their liabilities, corporations should
right now be integrating global warming exposures into their risk
management programs and directors and officers should make sure that
their organizations are aware of climate change issues and responding
to them.
