Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

What you need to know about CBAM

The European Union’s (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has introduced new compliance requirements for importers bringing certain goods into the EU. As a result, UK exporters must supply accurate emissions data to help their EU customers meet these reporting requirements.

To stay competitive and prevent trade disruptions, UK businesses must be equipped to precisely calculate and report the emissions data linked to their exports.
