In collaboration with the World Economic Forum, this White Paper provides executives with a practical roadmap to navigate emerging Border Carbon Adjustment (BCA) policies, such as the EU CBAM as it enters its definitive regime on 1 January 2026. Drawing on case studies from Brazil, South Africa, India, and China (BASIC) across steel, cement, oil & gas, mining and more, the paper shows how leading firms are already turning regulatory pressure into competitive advantage—using early investment, shadow carbon pricing, digital carbon accounting and supply‑chain transparency to attain price margins, secure market access and strengthen resilience.
At the core is an executive Strategy Playbook with the PACE framework for C‑suite leaders, supply‑chain directors, and procurement heads, covering how to Plan administrative policies, Achieve domestic and international compliance, Change operations to decarbonize, and Engage stakeholders across the value chain. The message is clear: proactive alignment can move companies from compliance to competitiveness in carbon‑regulated markets.
