CBAM Reporting
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
What is CBAM?
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a key legislative instrument adopted by the European Union to ensure that imported carbon-intensive goods bear a fair carbon cost equivalent to that imposed on EU producers. Designed to prevent 'carbon leakage,' CBAM equalizes carbon pricing between domestic and imported products, making accurate disclosure of embedded emissions a mandatory gateway for accessing European markets. At Orient, we provide specialized CBAM reporting and GHG verification services, helping you manage your data on the EU CBAM Portal and align with the GHG Protocol to ensure long-term operational excellence and global compliance.

CBAM Specialized FAQs)
What is the primary purpose of CBAM for non-EU exporters?
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) ensures that the carbon price of imports is equivalent to the carbon price of domestic EU production. For exporters, this means that providing accurate data on embedded emissions is no longer optional; it is a mandatory requirement to maintain competitiveness and legal access to the European market.
How are embedded emissions calculated under CBAM requirements?
Emissions are calculated based on the direct emissions (Scope 1) and, in some cases, indirect emissions (Scope 2) generated during the production process. At Orient, we follow the GHG Protocol and specific EU implementing regulations to ensure that your calculations are precise and ready for third-party GHG verification
What are the consequences of non-compliance with CBAM reporting?
Failure to submit accurate quarterly reports to the EU CBAM Registry platform can result in heavy financial penalties and the possible suspension of your export license to the EU. Our CBAM reporting service is designed to mitigate these risks by ensuring timely and compliant submissions.
Can we use default emission values for our CBAM reports?
While the EU allowed default values during the transitional phase, the definitive period requires the reporting of actual emissions data. Moving from default to actual values requires a detailed LCA study and robust data collection, which our technical team manages on your behalf.
