A Mission to Serve Others

C.M. Meiers has a proud history of providing our clients with exceptional service at the greatest value. And for more than 70 years, we’ve turned to this tradition in providing more resourceful, creative solutions to clients with unique or innovative needs.

As a leader in offering hard-to-place insurance coverage, we have insured projects that have contributed to creating a better infrastructure in third world countries and insured ideas and initiatives that have protected the bottom line of a sole investor.

Today we are applying our cutting-edge leadership to the emerging field of Green initiatives. We believe that addressing environmentally sound business practices is critical for our clients and our future. As a result, we have made a commitment to enhance our expertise in this area to serve as greater advocates for our clients.

Why Go Green?

• When a business reduces energy use by 30%, it lowers operating costs by $25,000 for every 50,000 sq. ft. of office space. (EPA 2001)

• Green environments are healthier places to work. Employees feel better, are more alert, and become sick less often. Improved morale reduces the likelihood of accidents and lowers disability and workers compensation claims. (Sustainable Building Task Force Oct 2003)

• The reduction or elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and other indoor air pollutants has a direct impact on asthma, acute respiratory illnesses (ARI), allergies, and other environmental illness symptoms. (Sustainable Building Task Force Oct 2003)

• Buildings with improved indoor air quality have an average 40% reduction in absenteeism. Employees who are sick less often should be less likely to file workers compensation claims. (Sustainable Building Task Force Oct 2003)

• Alternative energy systems such as solar or wind power can reduce or eliminate power-interruption losses. (Sustainable Building Task Force Oct 2003)

• Bio diesel can decrease fire risk since it does not contain volatile components, has a high flash point (360 degrees F), and no potential for explosion of vapors. (Sustainable Building Task Force Oct 2003)
