Beyond the EU: Preparing for a World of Carbon Border Adjustments

How can companies with global supply chains prepare for carbon border pricing as CBAM takes effect and the UK’s own version follows in 2027? What data, calculation, and verification systems separate companies ready for these costs from those left exposed?

As of January 2026, the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism entered its definitive phase, extending carbon market pricing to embedded carbon in imports like steel, aluminum, and cement, with the UK’s own version following in 2027. Companies now need supply chain systems built in stages: verified supplier data, centralized calculation, and third-party verification before charges come due. You’ll hear from practitioners working each stage of that chain, and leave with a clearer picture of what it takes to move from supplier data to audit-ready compliance.
