Join our experts for a practical look at the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the implications for organisations importing, procuring or using carbon-intensive materials, and the steps businesses can take now to prepare for the new regime.
This webinar will explore the introduction of the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), what the new regime will mean for businesses and how organisations can prepare for its impact on supply chains, sustainability strategies and carbon reduction targets.
From 1 January 2027, the UK CBAM is set to introduce a carbon price on certain carbon-intensive goods imported into the UK, initially covering products within the aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron and steel sectors. Its introduction could have significant implications for businesses that import, procure or use these materials throughout their operations and supply chains.
For sustainability teams and the wider business, CBAM is likely to bring increased focus to supplier emissions data, product-level carbon information, procurement decisions and the contractual responsibilities of importers, suppliers, logistics partners and downstream customers. It will also introduce additional regulatory, financial and reputational considerations around how carbon-intensive materials are sourced, measured and managed.
During this 45-minute webinar, our experts will consider what the UK CBAM will mean in practice and the steps businesses can take now to prepare ahead of its introduction. We will explore the anticipated data and compliance requirements, alongside how sustainability, legal, procurement, finance and supply chain teams can work together to manage potential risks while supporting wider carbon reduction ambitions.
The webinar will conclude with a 15-minute audience Q&A, providing attendees with the opportunity to put their questions directly to our experts.
Discussion points

What businesses need to understand about registration, emissions data, supplier information, reporting requirements and potential exposure to carbon costs.
How CBAM could affect procurement strategies, supplier engagement, contractual arrangements, relationships with logistics partners and decisions around embodied carbon.
How preparing for CBAM can help sustainability teams strengthen governance, improve Scope 3 data, build supply chain resilience and support progress towards net-zero targets.
