CerTrust cordially invites all interested participants to its webinar on the current challenges of the CBAM. CBAM – the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – aims to bring imported carbon-intensive products under a regulatory framework that reflects the climate obligations of EU manufacturers.
According to the new rules entering into force in 2026, importers will be required to report based on actual emissions data and pay a corresponding carbon cost.
CerTrust is organizing its first CBAM webinar with the aim of providing up-to-date, clear, and professionally sound information to affected stakeholders on the compliance obligations entering into force in 2026, practical implementation aspects, and expected sector-specific challenges.
Experts from the Climate Policy Institute, KPMG, and CerTrust will share their knowledge through practical examples and real-life scenarios.
This webinar is designed to provide both a structured overview and practical guidance on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Whether you are directly impacted by the regulation or involved in related compliance and financial planning, you will gain valuable insights into the following areas:
Throughout the webinar, leading experts will provide clear and actionable answers to the most relevant questions, supported by real-world examples and best practices.
This webinar is designed for professionals who are directly or indirectly involved in the implementation of the EU’s CBAM regulation – regardless of whether they are just beginning to explore the topic or already working on compliance.
It will be particularly relevant for:
Whether you’re seeking a structured introduction or in-depth technical insights, this webinar offers actionable guidance tailored to your role — no prior CBAM expertise required.
The organisers reserve the right to make changes to the program.
