CBAM 102 - Policy to Practice

In this episode, we explore the practical realities of complying with the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). We look at what South African exporters need to do to comply, what it might cost, and why it’s critical for maintaining access to European markets. We also unpack the risks of non-compliance, including heavy fines and reduced competitiveness, and discuss how decarbonisation and carbon pricing reforms can help mitigate CBAM impacts. Key points of discussion: • What is required to be CBAM-compliant • Whether companies in South Africa and abroad are ready for CBAM-compliance • The costs of reporting and verification under CBAM • Opportunities for compliant businesses • Global responses to CBAM and what to expect in the future • Practical steps South African companies can take to reduce exposure CBAM is evolving, with further changes likely soon – make sure your business stays ahead.
