We are participating in the Argus Europe Carbon Conference in Nice, France, from May 11-13, 2026. The event brings together policymakers, industry leaders and carbon market practitioners to discuss evolving compliance requirements across the EU ETS, CBAM and the developing EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF).
As companies face rising exposure to carbon costs and new reporting obligations, the conference offers practical insights into both regulatory developments and the future of voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
Meet SGS
Visit us at the event to discuss:
- Your CBAM reporting and pre‑verification needs
- How to ensure accurate emissions data and avoid reliance on default values
- How we help companies remain compliant and avoid unnecessary carbon cost exposure
- The role of trusted, long‑term verification partners in managing climate‑related risks
With global expertise and proven technical leadership in climate verification, we support organizations in navigating complex requirements with confidence.
