Why CBAM is the Tip of the Iceberg (blog series)

[juliana_bruwer2]

When talking about CBAM with customers and at events, I usually start with the opening statement that CBAM is the tip of the iceberg.

There are several reasons why I use this analogy, and it certainly gets the audience’s attention. However, just like an iceberg, CBAM is multi-faced and it has hidden depths that can’t be distilled into one or two sentences.

Hence, I decided to start this blog series to cover some of the key facets of this iceberg and dive into the surrounding depths, by looking at it from different angles:

• Part 1 - Why Europe Urgently Needs CBAM


• Part 2 - The Controversial Regulation with a Global Impact


• Part 3 - What is the impact on industries and business


• Part 4 - Why and how it could advance voluntary product declarations


• And more to come...
