About the session

What’s covered

How can companies selling carbon-intensive goods into Europe get recognized for the emissions reductions they’ve already made? What data practices and verification steps make that progress count under CBAM?

Since January 2026, EU importers of steel, aluminum, and other covered goods have been building up a carbon bill under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which EU lawmakers are negotiating to extend to downstream products like screws, wire, and metal furniture. The size of that bill depends heavily on emissions data, so U.S. manufacturers are fielding requests for verified, installation-level numbers that reflect their actual performance instead of default values carrying a built-in markup. Get a practical look at how CBAM verification works from an accredited verifier’s seat, and leave with concrete steps to get your data ready for assurance.
