Portfolio Impact Measurement
Measure portfolio impact with a secure, globally harmonized model.
The JIM enables financial institutions to swiftly and securely measure the economic and environmental footprint of their portfolios. Leveraging a harmonized and transparent methodology backed by the latest global datasets, JIM provides robust, portfolio-wide estimates for jobs, value added, and GHG emissions, capturing direct, supply chain, induced, finance-enabled, and power-enabled impacts.
Built for emerging markets, JIM offers granularity, scalability, and flexibility, with features like automatic sector mapping, ex-post and ex-ante analysis, and PCAF aligned attribution. Hosted securely in the cloud and developed through global collaboration, JIM transforms complex impact data into clear, actionable insights.

“Since we adopted the Joint Impact Model, evaluating our portfolio’s footprint has become a seamless, comparable process. JIM’s harmonized methodology lets us measure indirect impacts—like jobs, GDP contribution, and greenhouse gas emissions—across our investments with unprecedented consistency.”

"JIM enables Impact Fund Denmark to more easily and accurately calculate impact results that are difficult to measure, including Greenhouse Gas emissions generated, value added, and jobs supported by our investments. With an easy-to-use model, JIM allows us to gain deeper insights into the impact of our investments, contributing to improved impact measurement and communication.''
