CBAM Pre-Verification –
the foundation for successful emissions verification
With the start of the final phase of CBAM, the actual cost impact for affected companies is coming into focus.
Without verified actual emissions data, companies are required to rely on CBAM default values with mark-ups, which in many cases leads to significantly higher costs.
At the same time, the relevant emissions do not arise at the level of the importer, but rather at the level of suppliers and installation operators across international supply chains. These supply chains are individually structured, vary in complexity, and are often only partially transparent.
This raises a key question for importers:
Where along the supply chain is it economically worthwhile to take action in order to establish a reliable data basis and enable cost-efficient verification?

Our approach identifies where emissions verification is economically viable and should be implemented.
Our pre-verification approach structures the entire process – from initial assessment to successful verification.
Our approach
The focus is on the targeted preparation of your supply chain for verification:
-
Analysis of cost and emissions scenarios
-
Identification of suppliers with the highest cost-saving potential
-
Assessment of verification readiness
-
Structured preparation of emissions data and documentation
This creates clarity on where verification is worthwhile – and where it is not.



Ensuring a successful CBAM verification
Experience shows that without proper preparation, pre-verification can quickly become complex, time-consuming, and costly.
We support you in
-
identifying the most relevant parts of your supply chain,
-
preparing your suppliers effectively, and
-
ensuring readiness for successful (pre-)verification.
We would be happy to discuss how a tailored approach could look for your organization.
