Property insurer Affiliated FM introduces new “green” coverage endorsement

by AF 0917 g3 — September 19, 2008—Middle-market commercial property insurer Affiliated FM has introduced a new “green” coverage endorsement to its proVision all-risk property policy. The green endorsement provides flexible coverage for the additional costs of repairing, replacing or rebuilding damaged property using environmentally responsible practices, green alternatives and to whatever level of green standards a policyholder chooses.

Coverage also includes:

  • Additional costs to replace damaged roofs with green roofing systems, including vegetative roofing systems.
  • Additional costs for the green removal, disposal and recycling of damaged property.
  • Air flushing with 100 percent outside air for establishing healthy indoor building environments.
  • Replacement filtration media for ventilation systems.
