What is actually behind it?
As the EU increases its own climate targets and many non-EU countries have less stringent climate policies, there is a risk of a so-called leakage of CO₂ emissions. The EU''s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a tool to put a price on carbon emitted in the production of carbon-intensive goods entering the EU and to promote cleaner industrial production in third countries. The CBAM will initially apply to imports of certain goods and selected raw materials:
- cement
- iron and steel
- aluminum
- fertilizer
- electricity and hydrogen
As an importer, wholesaler and specialist for fasteners and special parts with over half a century of experience, Lederer naturally also takes on all CBAM-related expenses for its customers. As a registered CBAM importer, Lederer ensures that all supply chains continue to function smoothly. In addition, the data collected as part of the CBAM is used to evaluate suppliers in this regard within supplier management and to work with them towards lower-emission production and a reduction in CO₂ emissions.
A dedicated Lederer project team looks after the entire CBAM topic and is happy to answer any questions you may have. Contact details on the company website at: Lederer
