THE CARBON BORDER ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM (CBAM)
Complying with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires businesses to accurately calculate and report the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embedded in their supply chains. This includes tracking Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, submitting reports in the required XML format, and adhering to regulatory deadlines.
