South Korea is introducing mandatory sustainability reporting. The largest companies listed on the KOSPI index (assets over $20 bn) will start reporting climate data from 2028, with smaller firms joining gradually.

India is experiencing a steel boom — but its climate cost is enormous. Nearly 90% of capacity runs on coal and a large part of production comes from small, inefficient mills. Coal is also roughly 8× cheaper than gas, so companies have no economic incentive to switch to cleaner technologies.CBAM theoretically changes the rules of the game — it disadvantages dirty production and rewards low‑emission output.It should protect European companies from “carbon dumping”, where cheap, high‑emission steel is imported into the EU without any carbon price.For India, on the other hand, it poses a potential threat — if it does …
