Our Focus
Our focus is to provide the delivery of strategic information to clients by mobilizing our unique resources to provide specific solutions to our customers' environmental problems and opportunities. This is accomplished by offering brokerage and/or consulting services backed by a superior resource group, having specialized knowledge, technical skills, and the ability to deliver innovative solutions to meet your Business Objectives.

We believe our foundation strengths focus around a professional staff, the ability to deliver environmental risk management through technology and our relationship with the International Institute for Environmental Risk Management, environmentalriskmanager.com, at Southwest Texas State University.

The USI ERMG professionals have evolved from the experienced ranks of environmental underwriters, law, marketers, service personnel and risk management, with excellent relationships with senior executives in the insurance industry.

The Alternative
Environmental Risk Mitigation Group is the alternative that the industry has been seeking, but never received from the current available sources. The distribution of knowledge through various methods is our focus. Unlike many in this arena, we provide environmental risk management, risk mitigation and insurance services including consulting to our clients, clients of others, brokers, consultants, law firms, and numerous businesses.

We develop both routine and innovative solutions for entities requiring environmental protection on a daily basis, as well as those seeking to structure environmentally challenged transactions that cannot obtain what they need from the mainstream insurance market. We will strengthen the position of those involved in environmental business transactions or those having environmental risk exposures.
