Webinar: From Compliance to Competitiveness – Preparing Importers for CBAM 2026

Essential insights to stay ahead in a tightening regulatory landscape.

In January 2026, the EU CBAM enters its definitive phase. While the transition period helped many importers prepare, key areas of EU legislation remain pending, creating uncertainty in day-to-day transactions and compliance. Companies that have completed the main CBAM tasks in 2025 will be best positioned to transition smoothly, but for many, some steps are still pending.

In this webinar, carboneer provides the latest CBAM update. We outline the newly adopted simplifications effective since October 2025, summarise current regulatory updates, and highlight the main implications for importers.

A central part of this session focuses on practical tasks that importers and their suppliers can tackle now to strengthen their CBAM preparedness. We explain what actions can be taken, from completing reports and securing authorisations to managing costs, adjusting supplier contracts, and reducing emissions, and what benefits each of these steps can bring in practice. We show how a comprehensive approach to CBAM compliance can evolve into a real competitive advantage.
