Our Story

Environmental risks associated with contracting operations have often been overlooked and left unaddressed until after a pollution incident occurs. Many jobs require contractors to provide evidence of pollution liability, however standard certificates of insurance are inadequate in demonstrating financial responsibility for pollution events. CERC is a third-party certification that streamlines the procurement process and ensures the hiring of competent, trained, and properly insured contractors. Environmental incidents at a construction jobsite have the ability to severely impact both the schedule and financing of a project. Environmental Risk Professionals has been administering CERC and raising standards for environmental best practices since 2019.
