CBAM's First Compliance Year Ends 31 December: Is Your Data Ready?
CBAM's definitive phase began on 1 January 2026, and its first compliance year ends on 31 December.

Join KarbunWise for a practical session on what exporters need to do now.

Why this matters now
From 2027, EU importers must pay for the carbon in the goods they bought in 2026, and how much they pay depends on the emissions data the exporter provides. With verified data, your buyer pays based on your actual emissions; without it, they must use the EU's default values, which are set high and cost more. That makes your emissions data a deciding factor for EU importers, and with 2026 closing on 31 December, now is the time to get your data ready.
Clear, practical guidance on carbon, ESG and climate action, built for the teams who have to act on it.
