In a recent press release, Ace Group, a global insurance
provider, announced the publication of a new advisory
titled, Meeting the Challenges of Environmental Risks in
International Construction, which emphasizes the
importance of investigating environmental regulations in
foreign countries before starting a cross-border project.

3.  Ace Group notes that American contractors are
increasingly eager to seize international project
opportunities, such as infrastructure development
ventures in South America where legal requirements
and construction and environmental exposures differ.
The advisory explores various environmental risk
factors associated with international construction
projects and discusses how to adhere with
international regulations. To ensure that contractors
are compliant during cross-border projects, the
advisory recommends implementing a
comprehensive risk-management plan and securing
insurance that offers consistent coverage for global
operations.
