Environmental Liability Transfer

OTEK and partners provide a trademarked product known as Positive Liability Transfer (‘PLT’) that assists companies in the management of Environmental Image 1 MediumLiability, removing all current and future environmental liabilities.

For organisations it can:

  • Remove required reporting provisions from the Balance Sheet, freeing up that much needed cash for strategic growth and management;
  • Turn contaminated sites into money from day one, rather than after an unknown cost and indefinite period of rectification;
  • Allow a company to focus on their core business rather than environmental legacy issues, making better use of company resources;
  • Provide fixed cost remediation with none of the consultancy costs, which are typically, hidden, or overruns;
  • Can be used as a Sale and Leaseback option, transferring the environmental liability whilst continuing to operate the site or parts of the site.


OTEK has been involved in the management of cleanup of contaminated sites since 1992, and is well acknowledged as pre¬eminent in practical environmental consulting solutions.

Combined with a world leading insurance underwriter, risk management and investment organisations, PLT delivers a commercially advantageous risk solution for any organisation.

The Liability Transfer

Environmental Liability for contamination at your site or business is transferred into perpetuity.

The process provides complete contractual indemnification, with appropriate insurance and balance sheet guarantees, provided by an independent AFS licensee. Where applicable, compliance requirements associated with cleanup or pollution abatement notices imposed by regulatory agencies will be assumed.

The indemnity is unique and covers not only on-site and off-site migrated contamination, but also past, present and future; and known and unknown contamination. It also will cover changes to legislation.

Any exclusions are minimal and include aspects such as known but undisclosed contamination.
