Introduction to CBAM
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a key regulatory initiative introduced by the European Union to prevent carbon leakage by applying a carbon price to certain imported goods. CBAM places increasing emphasis on transparency, accountability, and accurate reporting of embedded greenhouse gas emissions associated with cross-border trade.
With rising scrutiny on emissions data and regulatory compliance, CBAM requires affected organizations to establish robust systems for emissions calculation, reporting, and documentation.
