Achieving CBAM cost transparency with minimal effort
CBAM Analyses
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) presents companies with new challenges in international procurement. Missing emissions data, complex reporting requirements, and increasing regulatory demands complicate planning and procurement. With costdata®, we support you in analyzing your supply chains, identifying relevant emissions data, and assessing potential cost risks. This helps you create transparency, reduce administrative burden, and ensure that your company is prepared for upcoming CBAM requirements well in advance.

The CO2 border adjustment mechanism for businesses
What is CBAM?
CBAM stands for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and is a climate protection instrument of the European Union.
The goal of CBAM is to create a level playing field between European manufacturers and importers of products from non-EU countries. To this end, the CO₂ emissions of certain imported goods will be tracked and gradually subject to a CO₂ price.
As a result, companies will need to collect, document, and report their suppliers’ emissions data in the future. International supply chains in emission-intensive industries will be particularly affected.
