The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduced by the European Union aims to introduce a carbon tax on imports of certain products from countries where producers are not subject to climate constraints equivalent to those of the EU. This initiative is designed to avoid carbon leaks and promote an overall greener economy. However, it presents complex challenges for businesses:

Complexity of Emissions Calculations : Accurately measure real data on direct and indirect emissions from imported products.
Management of Certificates of Conformity : Navigate the mechanisms for buying and managing carbon certificates, which are affected by volatile prices.
Documentation and Reporting Requirements : Provide detailed and auditable reports, necessary to prove compliance.
Adapting to Changing Regulations : Follow constant regulatory developments within a dynamic legislative framework.
Time and Expertise Constraints : Businesses often lack the resources needed to effectively manage these requirements.

By relying on in-depth regulatory expertise and advanced technological tools, Keewe simplifies compliance management, reduces the risks of non-compliance and optimizes the operational costs associated with MACF.
