Zurich Insurance Group
Monday, January 18, 2021
Zurich Insurance Group AG has become the latest European company to pull out of the controversial Russia-Germany pipeline project, bowing to US sanctions, reports Bloomberg in a separate story. Presumably a Russian company will pick up the construction insurance that was provided by Zurich. In face of stepped-up US sanctions, Norway’s Det Norske Veritas Holding AS, a certification company, and Denmark’s engineering firm Rambøll cut ties with the project.
