A complete, preventive readiness system for EU importers and non-EU exporters of carbon-intensive goods — built to turn fragmented supplier data into a defensible, board-ready evidence trail before the definitive regime bites.
CBAM does not arrive on one date — it tightens in phases. The organisations that win are the ones building evidence during the reporting phase, before financial liability begins.
Indicative phasing. Confirm current dates and scope against the EU CBAM Regulation and its implementing acts; the toolkit is updated as these evolve.
Six integrated components. Each can be used independently, but together they form a single preventive evidence system from supplier to board.
Structured Excel model to capture, convert and consolidate embedded direct and indirect emissions per good and CN code, with default-value fallback logic where supplier data is incomplete.
Editable request templates, supplier questionnaires and an attestation register that standardise the evidence you gather upstream — so it survives verification.
A reporting-obligation tracker mapping submission windows, data-readiness checkpoints and internal sign-off gates across the compliance year.
A preventive risk register flagging data gaps, methodology inconsistencies and supplier-dependency risks before they become reporting failures.
A slide set and one-page memo translating CBAM exposure into governance language: liability, cost, supply-chain and capital implications for directors.
Sector-specific guidance notes for steel, aluminium and cement — the highest-exposure categories — with category-tailored data prompts.
Clean perimeter, by design. Landmark provides the strategic and evidence-system layer; reserved or regulated services are delivered by appropriately authorised independent partners under separate engagement terms.
Start light or take the full system. Each tier escalates toward a confidential CBAM diagnostic and, where useful, an ongoing advisory relationship.
For importers consolidating supplier emissions data.
The complete six-component preventive system.
Toolkit plus a confidential readiness review with Landmark.
CBAM is no longer a future problem. The reporting is live.
If you import steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen or electricity into the EU — or you export them — you are already inside the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. The organisations that lose are not the ones with high emissions. They are the ones who cannot evidence their emissions.
This toolkit gives you the workbook, the supplier templates, the reporting calendar, the risk register and the board pack to build a defensible CBAM evidence trail — without hiring a consultancy to start. Built by a frontier energy and minerals advisory practice, designed to prevent the reporting failure before it happens.

"Most companies think CBAM is an emissions problem.
It isn't. It's an evidence problem.
The EU does not penalise you for the carbon in your steel. It penalises you for not being able to prove it — credibly, quarterly, in a form a verifier accepts.
I've packaged the workbook, supplier templates and board pack we use into a CBAM toolkit. Free exposure checklist in the comments. →"
Ten questions that tell you whether you are in scope, what you must report, and where your evidence gaps sit. The fastest way to find out if CBAM is your problem — and the first step into the toolkit.
