Webinar – CBAM: tools and strategies to navigate the transition

Discover how to prepare for CBAM requirements and manage reporting effectively

19 Feb 2026

The CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is the new European Union tool designed to counter carbon emission relocation and promote fair competition in the global market.

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), introduced under Regulation (EU) 2023/956, is a mechanism that applies a carbon price to certain goods imported into the EU, such as steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminum, electricity, and hydrogen. Its goal is to prevent European companies, subject to strict environmental regulations, from being disadvantaged compared to competitors in countries with less stringent standards. CBAM is part of the EU’s “Fit for 55” legislative package and serves as a strategic lever to encourage decarbonization beyond European borders.

It is an environmental and fiscal measure aimed at:

Preventing “carbon leakage,” i.e., the relocation of production to countries with weaker environmental regulations.

Protecting the competitiveness of European companies that already pay for CO₂ emissions through the ETS (Emission Trading System).

Driving global decarbonization by encouraging exporting countries to reduce emissions.

In a context where sustainability is increasingly central, CBAM represents a concrete tool to promote environmental transparency along the value chain and align with European standards. During the webinar, we will explain the new carbon border adjustment mechanism: its operating principles, regulatory obligations, and key aspects for businesses.
