CBAM is becoming a concrete operational challenge for importers , from supplier data collection to carbon reporting and certificate costs. ESGlogic helps you structure your approach, reduce uncertainty and move towards compliance with confidence.
What is the CBAM?
CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a European regulation requiring companies importing certain goods into the EU to measure, report and eventually pay for the carbon emissions embedded in those products.
It covers:
- Identification of impacted goods (CN codes)
- Collection of supplier emissions data
- Quarterly reporting obligations
- Carbon cost exposure from 2026
- Alignment with EU climate policies
CBAM goes beyond compliance by forcing companies to engage their value chain and structure scope 3 emissions.
Is your company concerned?
You may be concerned if:
You import goods covered by CBAM (steel, aluminium, cement, etc.)
Your suppliers cannot provide reliable emissions data
You are not prepared for EU carbon reporting requirements
You operate in industries exposed to carbon cost increases
You need to structure your scope 3 emissions
CBAM is already operational and many companies underestimate its impact on operations and suppliers.
