Preparing for the CBAM Definitive Phase
Getting ready for the CBAM definitive phase and its added obligations from 2026.
Preparing for the CBAM Definitive Phase
From 2026, CBAM moves from reporting-only to the definitive phase, in which declarants purchase and surrender CBAM certificates for the embedded emissions of covered imports. This raises the importance of accurate, verified data. Social Lab helps you prepare for the shift in good time.

Preparing for the CBAM Definitive Phase — questions we get
What is new in the definitive phase?
From 2026, declarants purchase and surrender CBAM certificates for embedded emissions, on top of reporting.
Why does data matter more then?
Because certificate obligations attach to the emissions figures, accuracy has a direct financial bearing.
When should I prepare?
Well before 2026, so data and processes are ready when the obligations begin.
