Key Insights on the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

GET READY FOR EUROPE: WHAT CANADIAN EXPORTERS NEED TO KNOW NOW 

With the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) now in effect, Canadian manufacturers exporting carbon-intensive goods to the EU — such as iron, steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen — face new requirements that go beyond traditional trade compliance. This shift means it’s not just about moving goods across borders; it’s about their embedded carbon, too.

At Delphi, we help companies enter or expand into EU markets by building internal capacity and strategic clarity. We assist Canadian businesses and exporters in: 

• Mapping and monitoring GHG emissions across operations and supply chains 

• Designing CBAM-aligned reporting and data systems that meet EU expectations 

• Conducting readiness assessments for CBAM and other emerging sustainability and climate regulations 
• Positioning your business as a credible low-carbon supplier, backed by the data to prove it. 

More than a compliance exercise, this is an opportunity to access a market that prioritizes climate leadership and low-carbon value. Learn more in our latest CBAM briefing.
