In Episode 1 of the Environmental Strategist series, Chris and Brooks Bunbury introduce listeners to the world of environmental risk—an exposure that touches nearly every commercial operation. They explain how pollutants are defined, why many insureds incorrectly assume their CGL covers environmental losses, and how Environmental Strategists guide businesses in building proactive risk strategies. Through personal stories, industry examples, and practical insights, the Bunburys highlight the need for better education, cross‑disciplinary planning, and forward‑thinking environmental management in today’s transparent business environment.
