75% Faster

Fulfillment of CBAM and EPD requirements.

The Challenge

Before Sluicebox

Qalex, a subsidiary of Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company with a strong presence in the European Union, needed to maintain its leadership in the region and secure additional high-value contracts. Manual data gathering for the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requirements risked the loss of market share in Europe, while key customers required third-party-certified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to qualify for more than $24M in contracts. Generating those EPDs manually was resource-intensive and prone to delays.

The Solution

After Sluicebox

Sluicebox’s Generative LCA platform automated Qalex’s sustainability reporting workflow by combining CBAM documentation and verifiable EPD creation in one process. Real-time what-if carbon modeling also gave the team a practical way to explore emissions reductions, lower tax exposure, and strengthen its position in sustainability-driven contract bids.

Key Results

What changed

Rapid EU Market Access

Fulfilled CBAM requirements and entered critical EU opportunities 75% faster, removing compliance bottlenecks that could stall growth.

Accelerated Primary Data Capture

Automated data collection reduced manual effort and error risk, speeding up EPD creation for high-stakes customer contracts.

Secured Multimillion-Dollar Deals

Third-party-verifiable EPDs helped Qalex meet strict environmental criteria and secure a $24M contract.

Proactive Carbon Reduction

Scenario modeling helped Qalex plan emissions reductions, lower CBAM tax exposure, and strengthen its competitive advantage.

By leveraging Sluicebox, Qalex has turned sustainability from a cost centre to a revenue generator. Not only have we accelerated our market entry into Europe, but we've also secured multimillion-dollar contracts and positioned ourselves as sustainability pioneers in the GCC aluminum industry.
