Marsh Establishes Renewable Energy Team,
Reinforcing Energy Leadership Position

NEW YORK, May 21, 2007 – Marsh Inc., the world's leading risk and insurance service firm, today announced it has established a dedicated Renewable Energy Team and named Susan K. Stokes and Tom Sexton as its co-leaders. The team will work closely with the firm's Global Marine & Energy Practice and the Power & Utilities Industry Practice to help clients address and find upside in the wide range of risks they face in this technologically diverse and dynamic sector.

Ms. Stokes, who is based at Marsh’s world headquarters in New York, will be responsible for the Renewable Energy Team in the Americas while Mr. Sexton, who is based in London, will be responsible for Marsh's Renewable Energy in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

Both Ms. Stokes and Mr. Sexton will work to build on the firm's already considerable expertise in renewable energy. During the past decade, Marsh has been assessing risk issues and providing related solutions for clients involved in onshore and offshore wind projects, ethanol and biodiesel plants, solar energy projects, hydro-electric power generation, wave, tidal and other renewable energy operations.

"Businesses and governments have sharpened their focus on renewable energy, particularly as the energy industry responds to the global emphasis on developing new technologies that lower carbon emissions," said Ms. Stokes. "The creation of Marsh's Renewable Energy Team provides both a framework as well as dedicated resources from multiple practices to expand our efforts to help clients address emerging risk issues in this dynamic sector."

"As clients commit significant resources and push technological boundaries to develop this rapidly growing sector, they need effective and innovative approaches to address their exposures," Mr. Sexton added. "Marsh has the resources and the expertise to help them address a wide array of risks as they expand their activities in all parts of the world."

Marsh has 26,000 employees and annual revenues approaching $5 billion. The firm provides advice and transactional capabilities to clients in over 100 countries. Marsh is a unit of Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC), a global professional services firm with approximately 55,000 employees and approximately $12 billion of annual revenues.
