CBAM: Still Top of Our Agenda On April 5th, 2022, Chris Prior first raised CBAM with us. Nearly three years on, it’s still one of the biggest issues we face. After publishing our first policy paper on July 7th 2023, the urgency and complexity of CBAM has only grown—as shown by the increasing number of concerns from our members. Our recent Confederation of British Metalforming (CBM) members-only calls have been some of the most attended we’ve ever had, even surpassing COVID numbers. And today, our joint webinar with BIAFD - the British & Irish Association of Fastener Distributors drew an incredible 138 attendees! A huge thank you to our policy advisor and CBAM guru, Phil Matten , for making it happen, and to Jamie Mcleod of Crowe UK and Víctor Pérez Prieto of Carbon Glance for providing a detailed update on the current status and giving advice to attendees on how to navigate their way through it . As expected, the session raised many questions—many of which have now been answered—but it also reinforced just how significant this issue is for our industry. CBAM is, at its core, a carbon tax. And the concerns of downstream metal users—both in the metals and fastener sectors—cannot be ignored. We must remain vigilant against lobbying efforts pushing for more stringent restrictions that could harm our industry, especially for SME downstream users . A big thank you to Ian Doherty and his members from #BIAFD for helping make this event such a success , we look forward to collaborating with them in the future. The conversation doesn’t stop here—CBAM remains at the top of our agenda. #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmanufacturing #SupportUKMfg Rachel Eade MBE Rachel Graville Adrian Musgrave Mark Webber Sarah Coombes Tammy Inglis Stephen Manley Steve Hardeman Ben Higgins Ben McIvor Rowan Crozier MBE Claire Whelan Claire Umney Richard Aylmore Richard Sadler Nick Thomas Peter Gallone BSc Mark Weymouth🏭📈 Stuart Blackett Konstanze Scharring Rain Newton-Smith Andrea Wilson Stephen Child Nick Sampson Macartan Flanagan Chris Oscroft Johnathan Dudley Ian Constance Richard Homden Nigel Blenkinsop Gareth Barker
