Training Overview

CBAM is moving from reporting to financial impact.

From 1 January 2026, companies importing CBAM goods into the EU will be required not only to report embedded emissions, but also to purchase and surrender CBAM certificates. This shift transforms CBAM from a regulatory obligation into a direct cost and competitiveness issue.

This practical training, part of the “GHG Emissions Training” series, provides a clear and structured understanding of:

• The regulatory framework and scope of CBAM
• Reporting obligations
• Financial implications from 2026 onward on imports, pricing and margins
• Verification requirements and compliance procedures
• Strategic implications for procurement and trade

Through real examples and applied exercises, participants will develop hands-on skills in emissions calculation, compliance planning and risk mitigation strategies.

The training focuses not only on regulatory understanding, but also on operational and financial readiness.

CBAM is no longer just an environmental compliance topic. It is a business, trade and P&L issue.
