Navigating CBAM: A Comprehensive Update for EU Importers and Global Exporters

Tuesday, February 25 | 4:00 PM CET (10:00AM ET, 7:00AM PT)

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is moving forward from the transitional phase to full implementation in 2026, marking a major milestone for global exporters and EU importers. Companies producing affected commodities designated for import into EU countries must streamline data collection, transition from default values to actual and verified GHG emissions and adopt CBAM-approved methodologies.

Starting this year, the new CBAM Registry portal allows for the streamlining of reporting, and EU importers will be able to apply to become authorized CBAM declarants in preparation for the mandatory purchase and surrender of CBAM certificates to the European Competent Authorities.

For producers outside the EU and EU importers, collecting data in the correct and appropriate formats from all production facilities has been harrowing at best, and navigating the regulation remains an ongoing challenge. As compliance with the regulation moves towards full implementation, many questions remain.

Join SCS Consulting Services’ Mohammad Abdel-Razek, CBAM Technical Director, Tarik Bellahcene, SCS Global Services Director of Business Development in Europe, and Umang Patel, SCS Global Services LCA Practitioner on Tuesday, February 25th at 4:00 p.m. CET (10:00 a.m. ET, 7:00 a.m. PT) for a 45-minute discussion on building out a corporate CBAM compliance strategy. We’ll focus on:

Overview of the CBAM RegulationWhat is new under CBAM in 2025 and coming in 2026GHG Emissions Reporting: Lessons learned while moving from default values to actual valuesConnect multiple chain of suppliers efficiently using the SCS E-Compass SuiteCBAM Verification Requirements: Preparing for verified reporting in 2026How to build a CBAM compliance roadmap and action plan

15 minutes will be allotted at the end of the presentation for Q&A.

Covia is proud to recognize the critical impact our team members make, both through their work and their dedication to their communities. Today, we spotlight Robert Knight, Director of Enterprise Applications and IT Architecture, whose leadership in technology implementation and optimization has helped position Covia for future growth and innovation.

From Code to Covia: A Journey Back Home

With 35 years of IT experience, Robert brings a wealth of knowledge to his role at Covia. His journey began as a COBOL programmer at a hardwood lumber company, where he gained comprehensive IT experience in a small department. His career path led him through diverse industries, managing IT operations for a men’s fashion company before moving to Atlanta, Georgia, to join an automotive parts company.

Robert spent 12 years in the Peach State, but a desire to move back to be closer to family meant it was time to head back to Northeast Ohio. “Our family made the decision to move back to Cleveland, leaving Atlanta to return to our former home,” Robert explained.

Shortly after moving back to Ohio, he found an opportunity at Covia. His decision to join Covia in July of 2023 was more than just a good fit, it closed the circle on a childhood connection.

“I don’t know if it’s fate or destiny, but I grew up in Chardon,” Robert said. “My dad drove a truck for a local company that hauled sand from Covia’s BESTSAND plant when I was a kid. When I went out to do a plant tour after I started, I saw the familiar trucks still hauling out of there. It brought back such fond memories.”

Streamlining Systems for Success

In his current role, Robert oversees the teams responsible for implementing and supporting Covia’s business-critical applications. At the heart of these systems is the company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which touches every aspect of operations from maintenance to sales and accounting.

One of Robert’s key achievements has been leading the rationalization of Covia’s application landscape. “When I came here, there were several different systems with overlapping uses,” he explained. “It was my job to reduce our total cost of ownership and complexity of our application landscape while making it easier to support and less expensive to operate.”

The successful cloud reimplementation of the ERP stands out as a particular point of pride. While Robert joined on day one of the go-live, he emphasizes how his team’s work led to minimal business disruption. Other projects like the rationalization of shipping systems helped standardize processes for loading out and shipping. Robert and his team have helped streamline various aspects of Covia’s business and position the ERP system for growth, allowing it to scale with Covia’s future needs.

“We’re developing our plans and cadence to keep everything current,” Robert shared. “There are additional phases that we’re planning for 2025 to make enhancements and modifications that touch every aspect of our business.”

Looking to Build a Smarter Future

Robert’s vision extends beyond day-to-day operations to include emerging technologies. By exploring new technologies and tools, Robert’s team’s plan is to help departments and individuals work smarter, not harder.

Robert highlights the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) sensors as one example of how new technology can enhance operational efficiency. These sensors can gauge vibration and other factors that can predict issues and alert team members to improve operational safety and avoid downtime.

Artificial Intelligence is another notable focus for Robert and his team. Software vendors are introducing AI technology to create new opportunities for businesses in just about every industry. Robert is embracing AI and evaluating its potential to make Covia more agile.

“We’re able to shift gears and make changes as they come,” Robert shared. “By staying current, we can make software enhancements more rapidly to support the business as both technology and our business evolve.”

The Power of Giving Back

Outside of work, Robert finds joy in family, sports, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Since 2017, he and his wife have been actively involved in supporting The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They attended their first ShamRockin’ for a Cure event in Atlanta, and the experience inspired them to get involved.

“We met a bunch of great people, and it just breaks your heart when you listen to their stories of people being born with cystic fibrosis and breathing issues,” Robert said. “My wife and I feel very blessed that all our children and grandchildren are healthy, and we wanted to give back.”

While Robert and his wife now live in Cleveland, they still stay close with all the families they met and participate where they can. The Knights were also able to share their passion with Covia, and we are proud to support their work and help build a bright future for those impacted by cystic fibrosis.

Robert’s combination of technical expertise, industry experience, passion for social impact, and personal connection to Covia’s roots makes him a valuable leader in driving the company’s digital transformation and supporting people across the country.

Practicing climate-smart agriculture can help Georgia farms be more productive and build soils that can absorb more carbon from our atmosphere at the same time. But making changes to established growing practices can seem expensive and risky for many farmers. To help ease this transition, a groundbreaking partnership between Georgia Organics and McIntosh Sustainable, Environmental and Economic Development (McIntosh S.E.E.D.) is giving Black and Brown farmers in coastal Georgia technical assistance and support with grant applications to accelerate the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices. As a result, they are building healthier soils and more resilient agricultural operations.

Key Insights

In Q4 2024, global efforts to address climate change and sustainability advanced through key regulatory developments. Turkey launched a renewable energy strategy, India issued greenwashing guidelines, Pakistan approved carbon market policy guidelines, and Vietnam amended its electricity law to prioritize renewables and energy efficiency. The United States updated its sustainable products recommendations for the first time in a decade, while China introduced its inaugural corporate sustainability disclosure standards, signaling a step toward unified national reporting by 2030. Meanwhile, re-elected president Donald Trump’s promise to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and dismantle climate regulations raised concerns about U.S. climate leadership.

At the COP29 summit, governments pledged 300 billion USD in climate finance with a broader 1.3 trillion USD target, alongside new global carbon market rules. However, outcomes were criticized as inadequate, particularly as biodiversity efforts under COP16 fell short of funding commitments, and UN plastics negotiations failed to secure a binding treaty. In the EU, the adoption of a ban on forced labor will increase supply chain scrutiny in sectors like textiles and consumer goods by 2027, while the bloc delayed implementing its deforestation regulation by one year. In Indonesia, a landmark labor ruling could enhance worker rights and local employment opportunities in the apparel sector.

Looking ahead, global efforts to address climate and sustainability challenges face mounting pressure. COP30 in Brazil in 2025 will mark a critical moment, commemorating ten years since the Paris Agreement. Pressure is growing on the EU to balance climate leadership with industrial competitiveness and a business-friendly approach as the U.S. potentially retreats from international commitments. Despite setbacks, momentum toward addressing plastics pollution and biodiversity funding gaps will continue, though substantial progress will likely depend on national-level action and international cooperation.
