The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduces new regulatory requirements for companies operating in the ferroalloys and metals industry. Accurate emissions reporting, traceability, and audit readiness are now essential for EU compliance. To address these challenges efficiently, organisations require CBAM capabilities that are fully integrated into their ERP system.

With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, sustainability and CBAM reporting are embedded directly into core financial and operational workflows, enabling automated, reliable, and audit-ready compliance without increasing operational complexity.

Built-in CBAM and sustainability reporting

Business Central includes native sustainability and CBAM functionalities that support emissions tracking, calculation, and structured reporting. Data is captured directly from operational and financial processes, reducing manual handling and improving accuracy. This integrated approach ensures consistent CBAM reporting aligned with EU regulatory requirements and audit expectations.

An end-to-end solution for the metals and ferroalloys industry

When combined with our industry-specific Chemicals & Metals app, Business Central becomes a complete CBAM compliance solution tailored for metals producers. The app enhances traceability across raw materials, production, and finished goods while aligning CBAM calculations with real operational workflows.

This integration ensures compliance data reflects actual production and supply chain activity, rather than isolated or estimated reporting models.

Operational compliance without added complexity

Together, Business Central and the Chemicals & Metals app deliver:

  • Seamless CBAM calculations integrated into ERP processes
  • Full traceability across the metals value chain
  • Compliance aligned with operational reality
  • Audit-ready reporting within a single system

This unified ecosystem supports EU compliance, sustainability objectives, and operational excellence.

Conclusion

CBAM compliance does not have to disrupt operations. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and the Chemicals & Metals app, ferroalloys and metals producers gain a fully integrated, end-to-end solution for sustainability reporting and EU regulatory compliance, all within a single ERP environment.
