On 1st July 2024 we were
delighted to host the online Workshop „Countdown to CBAM: Navigating compliance
and Seizing opportunities“. The CBAM topic is raising more interest than ever and
with our partners and members we have organised a great online event. We are so
grateful for the partnership with Ms. Biljana Braithwaite, founder of
Sustenieri partners, Mr. Miloš Tipsarević and Dr. Boris Mavra, founders of CBAM
Tracking Company and Mr. Branko Gabrić, Council at Gecic Law. We are also pleased
with Workshop moderating delivered by our colleague Dr. Andrija Vujicic, BDM of
BSCC.
The Workshop covered seven
important topics regarding CBAM, but also highlighted vital position of
regulation within ESG agenda. Ms. Braithwaite as perhaps the greatest authority
on ESG in the region delivered great presentation with strong statement that
timely adaptation to CBAM and aligning business practices with broader ESG can
enhance reputational and financial benefits for all stakeholders and create
significant advantages for companies in long term.
The
core of CBAM Workshop was on providing the answer to the seven key challenges
of compliance with the new regulation that is already in transitional phase and
with full implementation from 2026. Leading experts and consultants in CBAM Mr.
Miloš Tipsarević and Dr. Boris Mavra with support of Mr. Branko Gabrić for the
legal position of regulation have made outstanding presentations of disclosing
key demands regarding CBAM that concerned stakeholders so much:
· Supply Chain Transparency
· Verification process
· Indirect Emissions
· Extending CBAM
· Tax Rebates
· Other ETS Schemes
· and finally Who Will Pay the Bill?
After the presentation our
experts answered all the questions. Many attendees of the Workshop is a great
indication of attention for the CBAM topic and thus the BSCC arranged the poll
on interest for the live CBAM event this October in Belgrade with majority
expressing interest for the future event.
The success of CBAM Workshop is
twofold. First it has presented to wider public the expertise and authority of
our members in field of ESG and CBAM and second it was a great example of
cooperation between BSCC and its members on important topics for
companies-exporters and other stake holders.
