CBAM is game-changing 
EU carbon legislation.
The winners will be ready.

The most important and expansive EU carbon legislation ever is now in effect. The best cost-containment defense is readiness for each phase. We’ll guide you step-by-step, to avoid penalties and impress the authorities.

Not just another regulation.

CBAM puts a price on the carbon content of imports to lower carbon emissions worldwide. It involves the entire supply chain of carbon-intensive industries like cement, steel, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen.

For each company affected, that could involve dozens of suppliers. Reporting on embedded emissions will be laborious and time-consuming. Compliance will be complicated. And downstream manufacturing customers will be under pressure to work only with fully compliant suppliers.

Preparation is vital.

CBAM preparation has to happen quickly. It includes: gathering emissions data from suppliers, new reporting processes, and supply chain reassessment. That means significant administrative burdens, financial impacts, and compliance risks.

Non-compliance will be costly.

There will be fines for non-compliance. But that's not the most serious cost. Faltering on carbon-reduction compliance will damage reputations and possibly result in the loss of operating licenses and business opportunities in the EU market.
