News Summary
The EU will fully implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in 2026, but carbon emission reporting will already be required starting in 2025. This is a major wake-up call for Taiwan’s export-oriented logistics and manufacturing industries. From energy efficiency in cold chain vehicles to emission monitoring in freight systems, and even warehouse carbon footprint management—these factors will become critical to competitiveness.
Companies should avoid having export documentation stalled by environmental compliance barriers; early deployment is the key to sustainable business operations.
