Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Year of the CBAM

Year of the CBAM
Q: What does that mean for me as a steel producer or as someone who is importing steel into the European Union?
As a steel producer in the EU, you need to report direct emissions values and pay for those direct emissions that you import within steel and other C-VAMP sectors.
Personalized Offers vs. Dynamic Pricing: Winning the Digital Battlefield
