- The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be fully implemented in January 2026, impacting imports of certain goods like steel, aluminum, cement, and more.
- Importers must report the CO₂ emissions of their imported goods and purchase CBAM certificates to cover these emissions.
- New obligations include collecting emission data from non-EU suppliers, verifying and submitting it in the EU format, and filing quarterly reports.
- CBAM compliance will affect multiple departments, including customs, procurement, finance, sustainability, and IT.
- Early preparation and reliable data systems are essential for compliance and supply chain transparency.
