The European Green Deal is reshaping the rules of international trade. With the introduction of stringent regulations such as CBAM (EU Regulation 2023/956) for monitoring CO₂ emissions and EUDR (EU Regulation 2023/1115) to combat deforestation, environmental compliance has become a strategic priority.
For many companies, managing these processes manually is no longer an option—it’s a direct exposure to high risks: non-compliance, financial penalties, supply chain disruptions, and reputational damage. The deadline for the first CBAM report is already here, and manual operations are no longer sustainable.
Pandora is the software solution designed to automate and simplify these challenges, turning a complex and costly obligation into an opportunity for control, efficiency, and competitiveness.
Pandora: ADM Automation and Scientific Precision for CBAM
The main challenge of CBAM lies in calculating and reporting the direct and indirect emissions of imported goods. The traditional process—based on manually collecting customs declarations from multiple freight forwarders and performing complex theoretical calculations—is slow, fragmented, and prone to error.
How does Pandora work? The automated process includes:
Automatic Data Retrieval (ADM Web Service)
Pandora connects directly via web service to the Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM). This allows it to automatically retrieve all import and export declarations in real time, creating not just a centralized customs repository but a true customs data lake.
This means saying goodbye to searching through emails, spreadsheets, and multiple systems—Pandora offers a single, unified, and always-accessible point for all customs data.
Smart and Specific Classification
Once the data is acquired, Pandora doesn’t just store it. The CBAM regulation applies only to specific categories of goods (e.g., iron, steel, aluminum, cement, etc.). Pandora analyzes the TARIC codes of each import and automatically maps relevant products for CBAM purposes, isolating only what needs to be monitored and reducing background noise.
Calculation and Reporting with Scientific Validation
This isn’t an approximation. Thanks to scientific collaboration with the University of Parma, which develops and validates the calculation methodology, Pandora computes the carbon footprint of every single imported item.
The result is a robust, defensible, and fully auditable methodology. The platform then generates the quarterly emissions report, ready to be submitted to the competent authorities with data accuracy guaranteed.
From Regulatory Obligation to Competitive Advantage
With Pandora, compliance management stops being a reactive cost and becomes a strategic governance tool. It’s not just about “being compliant” today—it’s about planning ahead.
The platform ensures maximum precision in calculations and, more importantly, enables proactive estimation of future carbon credit costs (which will become mandatory from 2026). This allows procurement and finance departments to plan budgets, assess alternative suppliers, and make strategic decisions well in advance. This digital customs repository becomes the Single Source of Truth for the entire organization, breaking down data silos between logistics, administration, and compliance.
Features That Make the Difference
Document Automation and Accounting Reconciliation:
Pandora automatically links customs documents (#DAE, #DAT) with accounting data, eliminating data entry errors, reducing closing times, and ensuring perfect consistency between fiscal and customs data.
Full Governance and Traceability:
The platform provides complete governance and end-to-end traceability of all import/export flows. Every operation is monitored, every document archived, and every change tracked—ready for any internal or external audit.
Strategic and Customizable Dashboards:
Not just raw data, but actionable insights. Visualize strategic data in real time through intuitive dashboards. Monitor costs, supplier volumes, CBAM exposure, and other key KPIs for fast, informed decisions.
Advanced Native CBAM Management:
Pandora isn’t an add-on module—it’s natively built for CBAM. It calculates emissions with scientific precision and automates quarterly reporting, freeing your team from complex manual tasks
Why Pandora Is the Right Choice
In a global market where transparency and sustainability are key drivers of competitiveness, relying on outdated tools is no longer an option.
Choosing Pandora means adopting a proactive approach to environmental compliance. It means shifting from reactive, manual, and stressful compliance to governed, automated, and strategic compliance—based on reliable data and a scientifically validated methodology.
