Environment Impairment Liability (EIL) is a form of insurance coverage that is available for liabilities associated with environmental damage or pollution. Contractors that may be at risk for losses associated with damage or pollution caused by their activities often purchase EIL policies.

The EU Environmental Liability Directive aims to make businesses Europe-wide responsible for the full consequences of environmental damage they may cause. This includes damage to protected species and habitats, underground water sources or groundwater, and land where there may be a human risk-factor.

EIL insurance in the construction phase can form part of a contractual obligation. EIL can provide comprehensive cover for the construction phase of a project for the following:

* For potential claims from regulatory bodies and third parties.
* Liabilities arising from the EU Environmental Liability Directive (not restricted solely to damage from pollution incidents).
* For onsite clean-up costs as required by legislation.
* For third party claims such as bodily injury, property damage, nuisance and trespass, clean-up costs.
* Clean-up costs incurred by regulators.
* Incident response requiring emergency expenditure.
* Costs and expenses for all insured sections, including investigation, adjustment and legal defence.
