The UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will enter into force on 1 January 2027. For importers of aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, and iron and steel, the time to prepare is now.
Join Redshaw Advisors and Dubrink for a practical webinar combining regulatory guidance with financial risk management. We will explain how UK CBAM is expected to work, share our market insights so far, and explore how companies can manage and hedge their future CBAM exposure.
During this session:
Jan-Joost den Brinker, Co-founder of Dubrink and Vice-President of IACBAM, will explain the scope, calculation methodology, reporting requirements, and practical implications of UK CBAM.
Benedict Gee of Redshaw Advisors will examine the financial risks created by carbon-price volatility and explain how importers can use hedging strategies to gain greater control over their future CBAM costs.

Understanding and hedging your financial exposure
UK CBAM will not only create a compliance obligation. It will also expose importers to fluctuating carbon prices, potentially affecting purchasing costs, margins, pricing decisions, and commercial contracts.
Redshaw Advisors will explain:
How UK carbon-price movements could affect future CBAM liabilities
Why waiting until the payment obligation arises may leave companies financially exposed
The relationship between procurement decisions, delivery dates, carbon prices, and CBAM exposure
How carbon-price volatility can affect budgets, margins, and customer pricing
The different approaches companies can consider when managing or hedging their exposure
How hedging can provide greater cost certainty and protect commercial margins
When a company should consider starting its hedging preparations
Which internal teams should be involved in a CBAM hedging strategy
Practical tips for integrating CBAM exposure into procurement, finance, and risk-management processes
This will not be a purely legal or theoretical presentation. Dubrink and Redshaw Advisors will share practical insights, tips, and recommendations based on what they are currently seeing in the market and the preparations already being made by affected companies.
The webinar is designed for importers, manufacturers, customs specialists, logistics providers, finance teams, procurement teams, risk managers, and sustainability professionals who need a clear and commercially relevant understanding of UK CBAM.
Participants will also have the opportunity to submit questions directly to the speakers.

Time: 14:00 UK time | 15:00 CET
