Why CBAM Matters. For Your Business. For the Planet.
Fine exposure
Starting in 2026, any EU declarant failing to comply with the CBAM regulations will incur a penalty ranging from €10 to €50 per ton of unreported emissions.
Financial risk
Due to the phase-in of CBAM and the projected doubling of carbon allowance prices over the next decade, effectively managing your suppliers' emissions will become increasingly crucial.

Most supply chain tools request supplier data but fail to address gaps. Greenly’s platform calculates carbon emissions, enabling even small suppliers to contribute accurate data, enriching one of the world’s most comprehensive carbon databases.
CBAM Compliance: A Costly Challenge
The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduces a tariff on carbon-intensive imports, placing significant financial pressure on businesses. As the price of allowances is expected to rise in the coming years, EU declarants will have to reduce their suppliers' emissions, otherwise their expenses will increase dramatically.

Still have questions about CBAM?
What is CBAM and why is it important?
CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a European Union regulation designed to impose a tariff on carbon-intensive imports. It aims to prevent carbon leakage and ensure that EU industries are not undercut by foreign competitors with lower environmental standards. As the carbon allowance prices increase, businesses importing high-carbon goods will face rising costs unless they take action to reduce their emissions.
Which industries are most affected by CBAM?
The sectors impacted by CBAM are iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilizers, hydrogen, and electricity. These industries typically have high carbon emissions, and CBAM aims to ensure they face the same carbon pricing as EU producers.
How will CBAM affect my costs?
The introduction of CBAM will increase the cost of importing carbon-intensive goods into the EU. For example, the price of allowances will rise significantly up to 2034, making it essential for companies to address emissions in their supply chains now.
How does Greenly reduce costs for my company under CBAM?
Greenly helps businesses lower their carbon exposure and mitigate rising allowance costs by:
Automating emissions data collection and reporting
Engaging suppliers to reduce emissions
Identifying alternative low-carbon options and emission reduction opportunities
Providing insights on how to optimize your supply chain for better sustainability outcomes
By lowering the overall carbon intensity of your supply chain, Greenly helps reduce your financial exposure to CBAM tariffs.
Using Greenly offers both cost savings and compliance benefits. By reducing carbon emissions, businesses can lower their CBAM tariffs and achieve long-term cost efficiencies. Additionally, Greenly ensures regulatory compliance, avoiding penalties and promoting fair competition. This aligns with corporate social responsibility goals and mitigates climate-related risks.Is Greenly’s platform only for CBAM compliance?
No, Greenly is an all-in-one sustainability platform. While we excel in CBAM compliance, our platform also supports broader sustainability efforts such as GHG assessments, decarbonization strategies, and reporting for other regulations like CSRD. This means you can manage all of your sustainability needs through a single platform.
When should my company start using Greenly’s platform for CBAM compliance?
It’s best to start as soon as possible. The impact of CBAM on costs will only grow over time, and starting early gives you a head start on understanding and reducing your carbon footprint. By beginning the process now, you can identify cost-saving opportunities, engage your suppliers, and ensure compliance well before the tariffs increase significantly.
As a declarant, how will I be impacted financially by this measure?
As a declarant, your company will face increasing costs due to the CBAM tariffs imposed on carbon-intensive imports. The price of allowances will rise over time, and by 2034, your costs could significantly increase—potentially as much as 400 euros per ton for certain imports. If you fail to reduce the carbon intensity of your supply chain, you will be forced to pay higher allowances, leading to a greater financial burden.
