CBAM was introduced to help the EU reduce emissions from imported goods as part of its goal to lower emissions by 55% by 2030. What does this carbon border tax mean for importers and exporters across Europe? And how can businesses fulfil their disclosure obligations?
To answer these questions, we hosted two webinars:
- How CBAM will affect companies in the EU and import commodities like fertiliser, aluminium, steel, iron, cement and hydrogen.
- How companies that supply to the EU can implement robust carbon footprinting to meet EU customer’s reporting requests and changes that can be made to boost competitiveness.
Please note that CBAM requirements may change under the EU Commission’s proposed Omnibus package. We will update these pages as any changes are confirmed. Find out more here.

For exporters: ‘Mastering CBAM: Reporting requests and building strong EU relationships’
With 93% of EU-based importers identifying data collection from suppliers as a major hurdle, this session was specifically created for exporters to the EU. It covers the implications of the EU Commission’s Omnibus announcement, what data EU customers will require for reporting purposes and best practices for gathering this information.
Please note that we hosted three breakout room for exporters of fertilisers, cement and metals. To receive a recording of these breakout rooms, please contact client.support@carbontrust.com.
