Clean Tech
Backed by government policy and growing public support, market for clean technology, renewable or sustainable energy or green
technology has expanded. New clean tech businesses have been formed seeking to establish a supply chain that includes manufacturing
facilities where it is less expensive to build and operate facilities, and there is a wealth of technical expertise. Before
establishing clean tech facilities, businesses need to be aware of the risks they may face.
Key areas of concern are:
- Construction and land use practices related to construction exposures and facility protection systems
- Third party liability practices for product quality and applicable standards
- Transit damage and consequential delays in project start-up
Manufacturing facilities for clean tech business often have to meet higher standards than other general types of construction.
These facilities may require clean room environments, sprinkler systems or other types of specialized protection systems that
are not standard for construction outside the home country.
A delay or business interruption at a production plant also could result in violation of contractual obligations.
Manufacturers of clean tech products also have to meet exacting quality assurance procedures to satisfy global specification.
It is critical, for instance, for solar cells and wind turbine blades to meet required specifications because any component
part that fails could cause a system failure and result in a loss .
Clean tech companies face a wide array of exposures, ranging from traditional property & casualty risks-such as physical assets,
overseas suppliers and industrial hygiene-to risks sometimes overlooked like environmental liability, intellectual property
and financial injury.
