CBAM exposure

Quantify carbon costs and supply-chain risk

Measure CBAM exposure with confidence

Decarbonization is changing the economics of trade

The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) makes embedded carbon a direct cost on imported goods. As a result,
cost structures and supply-chain positions in steel and aluminium markets
are changing.

In this context, understanding CBAM exposure is becoming essential for planning and negotiation. For example, companies are already adjusting sourcing strategies and contract terms based on carbon intensity.

Companies that prepare early gain an advantage. They measure CBAM exposure, secure reliable supplier emissions data and include carbon costs in sourcing decisions. At the same time, teams need simple, credible models and consistent supplier information to prepare for 2026–27 cycles.

This brochure provides a practical starting point.
It explains the tools and data used to assess CBAM exposure, compare supplier emissions and test policy-aligned carbon-price scenarios. Through this, teams can move from policy headlines to credible cost ranges, sourcing options and contract language. Ultimately, our aim is to support confident negotiations and clear internal guidance.
