The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a policy that comes with complexities—fortunately, there is a way to keep trade flowing smoothly.
The main goal of CBAM is to level the playing field between EU manufacturers and non-EU producers importing goods with a high carbon footprint into the bloc. In doing so, it prevents carbon leakage by applying a price tag to goods originating from non-EU countries with less ambitious carbon policies.
Of course, this comes with certain obligations. Since 1 October 2023, EU importers must disclose the embedded emissions of goods from specific industries—namely cement, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen, electricity, iron, and steel—imported from non-EU countries .
From 2026 onwards, in addition to compulsory reporting requirements, the purchase and surrender of CBAM certificates will be mandatory, thus applying a carbon price equivalent to the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) allowance level.
Therefore, collecting detailed data and reporting on embedded emissions for your trade activities is essential to compliance and avoiding financial penalties. This is a complicated, resource-intensive task, especially when supply chains are complex and involve multi-level suppliers. The good news is that solutions are available to help you save time and ensure complete alignment with EU reporting standards.

Expert CBAM solutions at a glance
We identify your in-scope products for each importer of record, and we act as your customs broker to initiate your CBAM reporting. For third-party clearances, the Importer of Record must submit a complete data set for our compilation.
We provide a digital platform, combined with dedicated support from a specialist team, ensuring seamless engagement with your direct suppliers (Tier 1) to gather the necessary emissions data for your CBAM products.
Using the carbon emission data from your suppliers and information on imported goods, we will generate your CBAM report in XML format, fully prepared for submission to the CBAM registry. You can easily retrieve the report from the digital platform with just one click.
Evaluating your CBAM expenditure is vital to cost-efficient and sustainable sourcing strategies and ensuring your business's long-term competitiveness. Our digital platform enables you to calculate expenditures accurately and improve financial planning.
Data extraction and emissions reporting for total CBAM compliance
Do you have strategies to engage with your non-EU suppliers to provide accurate carbon emission data despite gaps in their tools, knowledge, or understanding of their obligations?
If you are an active EU importer, it is essential that you can identify whether the products you are bringing into the trading bloc fall under CBAM’s remit.
In addition to handling your CBAM data efficiently, access to a digital platform, paired with support from a dedicated team of specialists, ensures full regulatory compliance.
What does this look like? If your suppliers have compiled the required data into the EU Commission’s CBAM communication template , our experts will review their entries for ultimate accuracy. In cases where they have not, we will:
Facilitate a call with the supplier to guide them through our CBAM-certified questionnaire for calculating embedded emissions of relevant products.
Review factory documentation, including factory-level fuel and electricity invoices, as well as process-specific consumption figures.
You can also harness the power of our digital solution to:
Monitor supplier engagement, including the percentage of your suppliers who provided the required data.
Access a summary where you can visualise embedded emissions per HS code and supplier.

Keeping costs in check
Looking forward, have you already assessed the potential financial outlay of your CBAM certificates in 2026? Do you know which of your products and suppliers will drive up costs related to the regulation?

Gain insights with our digital platform to:
Estimate your 2026 and beyond CBAM cost certificate exposure.
Identify the products and suppliers driving up your CBAM certificates cost.

Hedging CBAM certificate exposure by buying EUAs
How can you shield your business from rising ETS and CBAM costs?

Fix your future costs, hedging your CBAM cost exposure and protecting your business from ETS price increases.
Plan with confidence—know what your CBAM cost will be and maintain future profitability.
Navigate CBAM with confidence. Reach out to our experts to stay compliant with ease.
