Why you must attend?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is one of the European Union’s most significant climate policies, directly linking international trade with carbon pricing. As the EU advances toward net-zero emissions, companies operating within or exporting to the EU must measure, report, and verify the embedded carbon content of imported goods. This 2-day CBAM Compliance Workshop provides the essential knowledge, frameworks, and tools needed to navigate these evolving regulatory requirements with confidence.

Led by one of Shasat’s distinguished sustainability and carbon-pricing experts, this program delivers practical insight into CBAM’s operational design, reporting obligations, and financial impact. Participants will explore how CBAM interacts with the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), ESG disclosure requirements, and global carbon-accounting frameworks such as the GHG Protocol. Through hands-on case studies and interactive discussions, you will learn to build robust compliance systems, manage carbon data, and evaluate CBAM’s effect on supply chains, competitiveness, and sustainability strategies.

This executive-level workshop helps senior professionals move beyond compliance. It supports the alignment of trade and carbon strategies with EU Green Deal objectives while enhancing business resilience in a rapidly evolving, carbon-regulated global economy.
