Reduce CBAM exposure and strengthen confidence in your emissions data

As CBAM moves into its definitive regime, EU importers are increasingly focused on the credibility of emissions data provided by operators. Operators relying on non-verifiable data may expose importers to greater financial risk, as they may need to apply conservative default values, increasing CBAM-related costs and impacting competitiveness.

Reporting default values is the most expensive option

Relying on default values may significantly increase CBAM cost exposure and impact competitiveness. Actual emissions data can provide a more accurate representation of embedded emissions, but only when supported by robust monitoring systems, traceable evidence and CBAM-compliant methodologies.

Our CBAM pre-verification helps operators evaluate whether their monitoring systems, methodologies and reported emissions data are aligned with future CBAM requirements. By identifying gaps and strengthening data credibility, we help improve readiness for future verification and reduce exposure to unnecessary CBAM costs.

Why operators should act now

Reduce exposure to default values
Actual emissions may help lower CBAM exposure – but only if the data is credible, traceable and capable of being verified by an independent accredited verification body.
Improve competitiveness
Importers are increasingly seeking operators able to demonstrate robust emissions reporting and monitoring practices.
Identify gaps early
Detect inconsistencies, non-conformities, data quality issues, and monitoring system weaknesses before future accredited verification obligations come into force.
Prepare for future accredited verification
Strengthen readiness for future accredited verification.
