A new regulation from the European Union, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), is set to put a price on the carbon emissions of goods exported to the EU. With 75% of Malaysian exports in the affected sectors, this is no longer just an environmental issue, it's a critical P&L problem.

Arina Kok, Asia-Pacific Climate Change Advisory Leader at EY, joins us to break down what this complex regulation means for Malaysian manufacturers. She discusses the reporting requirements, the financial risks of non-compliance, and the need for carbon transparency throughout the entire supply chain.

We discuss:

• What the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is and who it affects.

• Why it's a critical financial and P&L issue, not just an environmental one.

• The "visibility filter" and why supply chain transparency is now non-negotiable.

• How proactive companies are using internal carbon pricing to prepare.

• The need to upskill teams to navigate these complex new rules.

For CFOs, supply chain leaders, and manufacturers exporting to Europe, this is an essential deep dive into the financial risks and strategic imperatives of the new carbon economy.
