From the supplier: The increasing exposure of corporate directors and officers to liability for environmental damages has made their position riskier since most directors and officers liability insurance policies carry a pollution exclusion. The pollution exclusion is now becoming a disincentive to many people considering serving on a corporate board. State legislatures are trying to deal with the problem by changing laws regulating the liability for environmental damages to provide protection to corporate directors, The Superfund law should be reformed to eliminate this disincentive to membership on corporate boards in the name of fairness.
