As the EU tightens regulations on carbon emissions from imported goods, understanding the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is more essential than ever. This online “Introduction to CBAM Workshop” on 7th November will provide vital insights into how CBAM will affect cross-border trade, making it a must-attend for businesses aiming to lead on sustainability. Here’s why you should register today:

1. Gain Understanding of CBAM
CBAM addresses the issue of carbon leakage, where businesses move production to countries with lower climate standards. By introducing a fair carbon cost on imports, CBAM aims to level the playing field and uphold the EU’s climate goals, impacting various UK industries involved in EU trade.

2. Stay Prepared for Regulatory Shifts
By 2026, it will require businesses to buy certificates reflecting the carbon content of imported goods. Understanding these changes early on will help you stay ahead of compliance requirements and adapt your business practices accordingly.

3. Learn the Practical Implications for Your Business
This workshop will break down the operational aspects of CBAM, including certificate pricing linked to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and annual reporting requirements. Equip yourself with the knowledge needed to manage these obligations confidently.

4. Hear from Industry Experts
The workshop will feature experienced professionals covering CBAM’s phases, practical implications, and exemptions for goods that have already accounted for carbon costs. Their insights will be invaluable in navigating the new compliance landscape.

5. Gain a Competitive Edge in Sustainable Business
With an increasing emphasis on responsible production, CBAM compliance offers a chance to position your business as a leader in sustainability. By staying informed and prepared, you can leverage CBAM to strengthen your brand’s commitment to climate goals and gain a competitive advantage.
