CBAM: What You Need to Do Before January

CBAM is about to change the way UK businesses import aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron and steel. If your organisation relies on these materials, this event is for you. The UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) comes into force on 1 January 2027, bringing new reporting and compliance duties for businesses importing aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron and steel. This session brings together a legal perspective, technical carbon data guidance, and a practical business case study to give importers and manufacturers a clear understanding of what they need to do before the regime begins. Burges Salmon will outline the legal requirements set out in the final regulations, including how CBAM affects contracts, supplier obligations and governance. Future Leap will deliver the technical carbon data section, explaining what embedded emissions data CBAM requires, how it must be calculated, what suppliers need to provide, and how verification works. A business will share a case study on how they are preparing their data systems, engaging suppliers and managing risks ahead of 2027. This event is also a chance to meet others working toward the same regulation, including organisations facing similar supply chain challenges, carbon data requirements and procurement pressures. You will be in a room with manufacturers, importers, industrial distributors, engineering firms and logistics companies preparing for CBAM. It is an opportunity to compare approaches, share practical insights and connect with peers adapting to this regulatory shift. You will leave with a clear understanding of: - What CBAM is and why it's being introduced - Which goods are in scope - What carbon data you must collect and how to structure it - How to prepare suppliers and internal systems - What early movers are already doing to get ready Designed for importers, manufacturers, procurement teams, supply chain managers and anyone responsible for carbon reporting or compliance, this event provides the clarity, practical steps and industry connections needed to prepare for CBAM before January.
