CBAM 2026 Outlook: What Importers & Global Producers Need to Know

CBAM will transform how carbon-intensive imports such as steel, cement, aluminium, and electricity are treated at the EU border by aligning their carbon cost with the Emissions Trading System. After a period of reporting and preparation, importers will be required to surrender CBAM certificates for embedded emissions, triggering new financial, compliance, and operational challenges.

In this webinar, we’ll walk through:

• Key regulatory updates released in late 2025, including implementing acts and detailed compliance rules that define how CBAM will operate from January 2026.
• Practical impact on supply chains, including data collection and verification of embedded emissions.
• How to calculate your CBAM cost exposure, understanding embedded emissions, CBAM certificate pricing, and scenario-based cost impacts across your imports.
• Early insights on future CBAM scope expansion (e.g., downstream products) and longer-term implications for global trade.

Whether you’re in procurement, compliance, logistics, sustainability, or finance this session will equip you with the knowledge to confidently navigate CBAM’s definitive implementation year.

What you will learn:

1. Overview of the latest CBAM regulatory framework finalised in late 2025.
2. Compliance essentials: from authorised declarants to emissions verification.
3. Pricing, certificates, and strategic cost implications.
4. How CBAM fits with broader decarbonisation and trade policy trends.
