EU Green Deal Compliance for Georgian Businesses

The EU Green Deal is Europe's new strategy aiming for climate neutrality by 2050. For Georgian companies exporting to the EU, these regulations create new barriers and opportunities. Specifically, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers to pay a tax for emissions released during production. Compliance requires modernizing production processes, detailed emissions accounting, and supply chain sustainability. Companies failing to meet green standards will lose competitiveness in the European market.

This service is designed for exporting companies (cement, fertilizers, electricity, aluminum). The Legal.ge team will help you adapt to European regulations.
