Introducing CBAM: What Every UK Manufacturer Needs to Know

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is one of the most significant changes in international trade regulation in decades, and it’s coming fast. Designed by the EU to put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of certain imported goods, CBAM aims to prevent “carbon leakage” and promote cleaner manufacturing worldwide.

For UK manufacturers, this means change is unavoidable. Whether you export directly to the EU or supply parts to companies that do, CBAM could affect you. It’s no longer just an environmental issue; it’s a commercial compliance issue that could impact competitiveness, pricing, and supply chains.

At the Manufacturing Support Group (MSG), we’re committed to helping you understand, prepare, and stay ahead.

Through this new CBAM Blog, we’ll break down the legislation into plain English, explain who’s affected, share key deadlines, and outline practical steps to ensure compliance.

This is more than regulation, it’s a shift in how the world values manufacturing. Stay tuned as we explore what CBAM means for your business and how to turn compliance into opportunity.
