Financial risk
The price of CBAM certificates is expected to double over the next ten years. Predicting and managing supplier emissions becomes essential. Building a reliable view of your supply chain's carbon exposure today allows you to anticipate future certificate costs and protect your margins.
Penalty risk
From 2026, non-compliance fines: €10–50 per tonne not declared.
Accurate and timely CBAM declarations are therefore essential to avoid significant financial penalties that could impact your business operations.
Reputational risk
Decarbonising upstream now strengthens your positioning as a responsible company.
Proactively engaging with your suppliers on carbon reduction not only ensures compliance but also differentiates your company in an increasingly sustainability-conscious market.

Which products fall under the CBAM?
Carbon-intensive imports like steel, cement, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity. The list may expand with future EU policies.
Companies importing these goods into the EU must report the embedded carbon emissions of their products and purchase the corresponding CBAM certificates. Staying informed about potential expansions of the product list is essential to anticipate future compliance obligations.
When does the CBAM enter into force?
In force since 2023 → with a transition phase until end of 2025. Full obligations (incl. fines) start 2026.
During the transitional phase, importers were required to submit quarterly reports on embedded emissions without financial obligations. From 2026 onwards, the purchase of CBAM certificates becomes mandatory, making early preparation critical to avoid penalties.
How is the carbon price set?
Aligned with the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), ensuring fair competition between EU & non-EU producers.
The CBAM certificate price is calculated weekly based on the average auction price of EU ETS allowances. This mechanism ensures that imported goods face the same carbon cost as goods produced within the European Union, preventing carbon leakage.
How does the CBAM affect EU companies?
It levels the playing field by imposing equivalent costs on imports and EU products. EU firms must still innovate and invest in cleaner technologie.
For EU importers, this means additional administrative obligations: tracking supplier emissions, submitting accurate declarations, and managing CBAM certificate purchases. Companies that act early and implement robust carbon data collection processes will be better positioned to absorb these costs and maintain their competitiveness.
