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 marketsare 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.

From voluntary credits to new compliance schemes, businesses face a growing need for clear, reliable information to navigate the carbon market landscape. How can you distinguish high-quality credits from the rest? What impact will new regulations like the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) have on your supply chain? This interview has the answers.
The EU Commission has launched a call for evidence on Thursday August 28 on its methodology for calculating emissions embedded in Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) goods, the rules on the adjustment of CBAM certificates to reflect the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) free allocation and the rules on the deduction of the carbon price paid in a third country.
The scrap and downstream loopholes that could allow market participants to avoid making necessary payments under the EU’s Carbon Boarder Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) were a threat to the policy’s decarbonization objectives, Jostein Røynesdal, vice president and head of EU public affairs at aluminium producer Norsk Hydro, said in an exclusive interview with Fastmarkets late in August.
