The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is one of the most significant developments in the transformation of the global trade landscape. CBAM seeks to align international trade with the EU’s ambitious climate goals. It is a tariff-like regime, which from 2026 will apply a carbon price on certain imports into the EU, based on emissions associated with the manufacturing of the products. For businesses with global supply chains, CBAM is more than a compliance requirement; it is a strategic turning point, presenting both challenges and opportunities in equal measure. During this workshop, we will bring your knowledge up-to-speed by sharing our best practice expertise. The EU's CBAM started its transitional phase in October 2023, with a specific focus on importers of carbonintensive products, for steel, cement, aluminum, fertilizers, hydrogen, and electricity. Businesses are required to disclose the greenhouse gas emissions that are generated by the manufacturing processes of their products during this phase. While there are no financial obligations during the transitional period, this phase is essential for the purpose of accumulating data, refining methodologies, and preparing for the full implementation of the mechanism in 2026. The evolving CBAM landscape presents both opportunities and challenges for businesses involved, as either a European importer or exporter from outside the EU.

Importers are required to establish reliable systems for assessing and disclosing embedded emissions during the EU's transitional phase. This is an important stage in the preparation for the full enforcement stage, during which penalties may be imposed for non-compliance. Forecasting financial obligations can be beneficial for traders. Importers will be obligated to acquire CBAM certificates for carbon-intensive imports to the EU beginning in 2026, which will result in additional expenses. This could have a substantial effect on the pricing structures and costs in some supply chains, potentially leading to an increase in the prices of some goods. Investing early in decarbonization strategies, such as the procurement of lower-carbon materials and the implementation of better production technologies, can provide businesses with a competitive advantage and reduce future costs. One can say that we are still in the warm-up phase to prepare for 2026, when it will all really begin with CBAM. In the end, CBAM will have an impact on every business, so now is the time to educate yourself. Learn about what CBAM is, why it is launched, and most importantly, what the impacts are going to be. 

Program Overview

• Day 1: Build a foundational understanding of CBAM by exploring its purpose, strategic objectives, and the industries it impacts. Learn about CBAM’s working mechanisms, timelines, and its integration with global trade and climate policies. Analyze the implications for importing industries and macroeconomic impacts, with a focus on key requirements such as emissions measurement, reporting, and verification starting in 2026.
• Day 2: Delve into the financial and operational aspects of CBAM, including the calculation and cost implications of CBAM certificates and their integration with the EU ETS. Explore compliance essentials, focusing on mandatory emissions reporting, approved methodologies, and penalties for non-compliance. Understand the key steps to registering with authorities and managing compliance risks effectively.
• Day 3: Examine the implications of CBAM on businesses, from lessons learned during the transitional period to challenges and opportunities in the post-implementation phase. Explore possible scenarios for businesses, including shifts in trade flows and accelerated green investments. Identify best practices for suppliers, including carbon accounting, supply chain engagement, and investments in clean technologies.
• Day 4: Apply your knowledge through case studies of CBAM’s impact on industries such as iron & steel, aluminum, and cement, and countries like Brazil, India, and Türkiye. Gain practical insights into building a CBAM compliance structure, training personnel, budgeting for compliance costs, and leveraging the transitional period to prepare for future challenges. The course concludes with actionable strategies to align businesses with CBAM requirements. 

During this highly interactive 4 half-day session training course, we will cover EUDR compliance, deforestation risks, and supply chain traceability. Through case studies and exercises, you will gain the tools to meet regulations, enhance transparency, and avoid risks.

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is transforming global trade by ensuring that commodities like coffee, cocoa, palm oil, timber, and rubber are sourced without contributing to deforestation. Businesses must now demonstrate compliance through traceability, due diligence, and risk assessments to maintain access to the EU market. EUDR is not just a legal requirement. It marks a fundamental shift toward sustainable supply chains. Companies that fail to comply face penalties, reputational risks, and potential market exclusion, while those that adapt early can gain a competitive edge and enhance their global credibility. Achieving compliance requires robust data collection, supply chain transparency, and proactive engagement with suppliers. This workshop provides practical strategies, industry case studies, and best practices to help businesses navigate EUDR requirements, mitigate risks, and implement effective sustainability measures.

Companies importing key commodities into the EU must establish robust traceability and due diligence systems to ensure compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This is a crucial phase in preparing for full enforcement, where non-compliance may lead to penalties and restricted market access. Businesses will be required to provide geolocation data, risk assessments, and deforestation-free verification for affected products such as coffee, cocoa, palm oil, timber, and rubber. Early investment in supply chain transparency, digital tracking tools, and supplier engagement can offer a competitive advantage while minimizing future compliance risks. The shift toward deforestation-free trade will impact pricing, sourcing strategies, and supply chain structures, making early preparation essential. We are in a critical transition phase where companies must act now to align with EUDR. This training will provide best practices, case studies, and compliance strategies to help businesses navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and ensure full readiness. 

Program Overview

• Day 1: Understand the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and its impact on industries, focusing on the causes and consequences of deforestation and forest degradation. Learn about the deforestation-free requirements and due diligence processes outlined in the EUDR. Analyze case studies like the Congo Basin and Ghana to explore real-world challenges and opportunities for compliance.
• Day 2: Delve into traceability systems and geolocation technologies critical for ensuring EUDR compliance. Learn the stepwise approach to building transparent, traceable supply chains and how various stakeholders, from farmers to businesses, contribute to the process. Use case studies such as Tony Chocolonely’s deforestation-free cocoa initiative to create your own compliance roadmap for a sustainable supply chain.
• Day 3: Dive deeper into due diligence practices, focusing on data collection, verification, and risk assessment strategies. Learn how to mitigate compliance risks and work effectively with suppliers to ensure traceability and sustainability. Participate in group exercises to address real-world compliance challenges and explore practical solutions for managing risk in supply chains.
• Day 4: Study emerging technologies such as satellite imagery, blockchain, and IoT devices that can enhance supply chain transparency and compliance with the EUDR. Learn from successful real-life case studies and collaborate with peers to develop customized compliance strategies tailored to your specific industry needs, preparing your business for future EUDR requirements.

During this intensive and highly interactive 4 half-day hands-on course, we will provide comprehensive guidance, tips, and tricks for successfully negotiating and signing a bankable renewable PPA. 

The global renewable electricity generation capacity is growing with an unprecedented speed. Half of the growth in the power production across the globe is coming from renewables, led by wind, solar PV, and hydropower. Within the next 5 years the share of renewable technologies meeting global energy demand will reach 30% of the total world electricity generation. There are many companies that have a commitment to become 100% green. Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) would be the instrument to source the renewable energy. The corporate PPA market offers an avenue to hedge wholesale price risk and secure long-term revenue visibility and price certainty. The CPPA market already took off in the US and Europe and is spreading across the globe. So, there are valuable lessons to be learned. 

A policy shift towards competitive pricing mechanisms drives renewables growth. Overall, continuous cost reductions are expected to make renewables more competitive with new coal and natural gas plants in an increasing number of countries. The introduction of additional competitive auctions for long-term PPAs in key countries; and a growing private or corporate PPA market that takes advantage of wind and solar PV cost reductions, will be a very interesting instruments to further deploy renewable power projects. Even with renewable energy technologies becoming increasingly competitive, appropriate policies and market design are critical. Governments should introduce measures to tackle policy and regulatory uncertainties as well as grid integration and financing challenges. 

Program Overview

• Day 1: Understand Corporate PPAs and their impact on today’s power markets, focusing on the energy transition and renewable sourcing. Learn about the structure and benefits of Corporate PPAs for both sellers and buyers, and the regulatory barriers in place. Explore case studies like the Budweiser Cross-Border Virtual PPA.
• Day 2: Explore key risk factors in PPA valuation, such as forward curves, location, shape, and renewable penetration. Understand the main risk categories including development, pricing, operational, credit, and regulatory risks. Learn how to assess and mitigate these risks using real-world case studies.
• Day 3: Learn about different PPA pricing structures, including fixed pricing, index pricing, and options. Understand how to determine a fair PPA price by considering factors like base price levels, risk premiums, profile value, and environmental attributes. Analyze case studies related to fixed and index pricing models.
• Day 4: Examine volume structures and risk allocation strategies in Corporate PPAs, including pay-as-produced, predefined profiles, all-day peak load, and baseload structures. Explore key contract features such as duration, milestones, transmission issues, curtailment, and termination clauses.
