Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
CBAM is a policy framework developed and enforced by the European Union (EU) as part of its efforts to address climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
CBAM works by imposing a carbon price on imports of certain goods at risk of carbon leakages, such as cement, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, and electricity. This ensures that imported goods face the same carbon costs as domestically produced goods, levelling the playing field and encouraging producers from non-EU countries to adopt greener practices.
Companies are required to review the products they export to the EU from non-EU countries to determine if they have reporting obligations. Even if companies themselves do not have direct reporting obligations under CBAM, they may sell products to customers who do have such obligations to ascertain the embodied carbon in their products.
