EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — Steel, Aluminium, Cement, Chemicals
Why This Matters for Indian Exporters
- Growing buyer requirement across EU, UK, USA, Australia markets
- Non-compliance risks: loss of contracts, import refusals, reputational damage
- Opportunity: ESG-compliant Indian exporters command premium pricing
- AJG mandates increasingly require ESG certification proof
Regulatory Landscape
EU: Green Deal, CBAM, CSRD, EUDR, Ecodesign
UK: TCFD reporting, Modern Slavery Act, EPR
- USA: SEC climate disclosure, Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act
- India: BIS sustainability standards, SEBI ESG for listed companies
- Action Plan for Indian Exporters
- Phase 1: Baseline assessment and gap analysis
- Phase 2: Certification roadmap (12-24 month plan)
- Phase 3: Documentation and buyer communication
- Phase 4: Continuous improvement and re-certification
Cost-Benefit for MSMEs
- Most ESG certifications cost INR 1-5 Lakh for initial assessment and INR 50K-2L annually. Return: access to premium EU/UK/USA buyers who pay 8-15% more for verified sustainable supply.
