The EU’s most significant and wide-reaching carbon regulation has now come into force. The key to managing cost and maintaining market access lies in early and thorough preparation. We’ll guide you through it, helping you steer clear of penalties and demonstrate credibility with EU regulators.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduces a carbon levy on imports, aimed at reducing global emissions. It affects the full supply chain across high-emission sectors such as cement, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity (EU Only), and hydrogen.
For affected firms, that could mean coordinating data from many different suppliers. Reporting the carbon content of imported goods will be complex and time-consuming. Compliance will require diligence, and your customers may insist on working only with fully CBAM-compliant suppliers.
Recruiting or reallocating internal staff to manage CBAM complexities adds cost and strain. The more efficient solution is to work with experts who can put in place the right procedures and data systems from the outset.
We’ll work with you to build a long-term approach for CBAM compliance that aligns with your strategic goals.
We’ll analyse your import information to identify CBAM-applicable products and any potential financial exposure.
We’ll work with independent auditors to help verify emissions data and ensure compliance from 2026 onwards.
We’ll keep you updated on regulatory developments and help fine-tune your CBAM procedures to stay ahead of the rules.
We’ll recommend purpose-built tools to streamline data collection, carbon calculations, and emissions reporting − and help with integration into your existing systems.
We’ll help you with buying and surrendering CBAM certificates (mandatory from 2027) and advise on strategies to manage these costs efficiently.
We’ll deliver in-depth guidance on CBAM requirements, and help your teams understand their obligations. We’ll also assess how ready you are, and let you know of any gaps in your existing processes.
We’ll help you communicate CBAM requirements to suppliers, establish processes to collect and verify emissions data, and help contain and reduce your compliance costs.
We’ll help you prepare and submit the mandatory CBAM reports, through the EU’s Transitional Registry and during the definitive period, making sure they’re accurate and submitted on time. We’ll also help you obtain the proper authorisation as a CBAM Authorised Declarant, which became mandatory on 1 January 2025 for importers exceeding the threshold.
