[Webinar] CBAM in Action: From Compliance to Competitiveness — Playbook for Global CBAM-Exposed Businesses (25/02/2026)

Date: 25 February, 2026 (Wednesday)

Time: 16:30 – 17:45 HKT | 09:30 – 10:45 CET | 08:30 – 09:45 UTC

Format: Online via Zoom

 

Purpose

This webinar will examine how businesses are responding to the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and other border carbon measures, as well as how these developments are shaping competitiveness in global markets when strategic planning becomes implementation reality.

Drawing on insights from a recently published WEF–CFA white paper, the session will first provide a concise overview of the global evolution of border carbon measures and their economic and environmental implications, before exploring how companies at different stages of readiness can translate emerging trade policies and requirements into practical actions they can begin taking today.

Using a strategy playbook build on the “PACE” framework, the discussion will focus on how companies are preparing and organizing across functions and stakeholders to respond to CBAM, including:

  • Understanding and managing CBAM/BCA exposure
  • Strengthening MRV and carbon data readiness
  • Aligning transition strategy, investment, and financing considerations
  • Engaging supply chains and procurement functions in decarbonization efforts

 

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for senior leaders and practitioners involved in navigating carbon-related trade and regulatory developments, particularly those with exposure to international markets.

  • Global CBAM-exposed exporters and manufacturers (large and mid-sized)
  • Corporate leaders and teams across executive management, strategy, sustainability, supply chain, procurement, compliance, operations, and product development
  • Government and public-sector agencies involved in trade, industry, climate, and competitiveness policy
  • Financial institutions, including banks, investors, and participants in commodity and trade finance markets
  • Multilateral and international organizations working on trade, climate policy, and carbon markets
  • Industry bodies, chambers, and sector alliances, including decarbonization-focused coalitions supporting companies on trade, regulatory, and competitiveness issues
