From January 1, 2025, Greek law 5116\/2024 will require companies with a certain annual turnover to take out insurance against natural disasters. This law, designed to safeguard business continuity, aims to ensure that natural disaster-related financial losses are borne by insurance providers rather than businesses or the government.<\/p>\n

Key requirements<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Insurance Coverage: Businesses must insure at least 70% of the value of their buildings and other assets (e.g., equipment, inventory, professional vehicles) against natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and wildfires.<\/li>\n
  • Penalties for Non-Compliance: Failure to comply will initially result in a fine of \u20ac10,000, doubling if not rectified within 30 days.<\/li>\n
  • Government Support: Non-compliant businesses will be ineligible for government financial aid in case of natural disaster-related damages.<\/li>\n
  • This law underscores Greece\u2019s commitment to building resilience and financial security for local businesses, ensuring they are equipped to recover and continue operations even after severe natural events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Necessary measures<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Companies with a Greek subsidiary should review their property insurance to comply with the new requirements and avoid penalties.<\/p>\n

    Please note that Greek companies may be covered under a German policy, which may not provide cover for these risks. To avoid gaps in cover, please contact us if you require local property cover in Greece.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":764,"featured_media":14538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\nMandatory Natural Disaster Insurance for Businesses in Greece - Trust Risk Control<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From January 1, 2025, Greek law 5116\/2024 will require companies with a certain annual turnover to take out insurance against natural disasters.
