What is the JIM?
The Joint Impact Model (JIM) is an impact measurement tool designed for financial institutions, banks, and investors who want to understand the economic, social, and environmental impacts of their portfolios. By combining global economic data with user inputs, JIM calculates key metrics such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, indirect job supported, and value added through wages, taxes and net income.
Unlike traditional reporting tools, JIM provides a standardized and transparent methodology that makes results comparable across sectors and countries, helping organizations strengthen their sustainable finance strategies.
