WeGreenPass™
Your one-stop platform for CBAM, cross-border green compliance, and other global trade challenges with ease
About the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
- The CBAM transitional phase began on October 1, 2023; the definitive phase, with CBAM certificates, applies from January 1, 2026
- The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will impose fees on specific imported products based on their carbon footprint
- During the transitional phase (October 2023 – end of 2025) importers filed quarterly reports on embedded emissions; from 2026, authorised CBAM declarants submit an annual declaration and surrender CBAM certificates for the embedded emissions of their imports
- Initially covering six major industries, there is potential for future expansion into additional sectors
Industries currently covered
What does it mean to your company?
Increased Costs and Decreased Profits
The CBAM compels companies to lower emissions through technological changes or pay CBAM fees, leading to additional costs and significantly reduced profit margins.
Decreased Market Competitiveness
Inability to meet EU standards reduces market competitiveness.
Compliance Management and Risks
The high level of expertise required for CBAM compliance, coupled with the constantly evolving regulations and policies, results in significant compliance risks.
Transformation Pressure and Uncertainty
Companies must adapt to transformation pressures; the process is demanding.
Second Curve Opportunity
CBAM provides avenues for transformation, enhancing market share and competitive edge.
How WeGreenPass™ works
We operate WeGreenPass™ – your online one-stop platform for green compliance
Declare
Meet regulations with proper carbon measurement and data submission on production and carbon footprint, or face potential import denial.
From October 2023, non-EU manufacturers must monitor CBAM data and report to importers. Importing without this data is illegal, and misinformation incurs legal consequences.
Certify
Secure certification from a recognized certifier for your product's carbon footprint to avoid high CBAM payables or entry denial into the EU market.
CBAM requires qualified certifiers to validate actual carbon footprint measurements. Carbon footprint certification directly determines payable levels under CBAM rules.
Reduce
Plan your factory's transformation, reduce product carbon footprints, and promote material recycling to avoid high CBAM costs or breach regulatory limits.
Reducing product carbon footprints can lower CBAM liability.
Deduct
Track any carbon price already paid in the country of production: under CBAM it can be deducted from the certificates you must surrender. International carbon credits and offsets cannot be used to reduce CBAM obligations.
Only a carbon price effectively paid in the country of origin (for example under a carbon tax or an emissions trading system), net of any rebate or compensation, is deductible. Cleaner production and renewable electricity lower the embedded emissions — and with them the number of CBAM certificates required.
