Press Release
Paris, 1 April 2026
Jus Mundi has released its 2025 Mission Report, demonstrating how mission-driven commitments evolve from broad aspiration to focused measurement. A year after its first report established baselines, this assessment shows a deliberate shift: from 32 indicators to 8 core KPIs, from framework design to governance maturity, from measuring activity to tracking impact.
The report reflects Jus Mundi’s conviction that being a Société à Mission means embedding accountability into every decision, measuring what truly matters, openly acknowledging both progress and challenges.
Sharpening the Mission Model
Through three Mission Committee sessions, the company validated a streamlined set of eight KPIs, established baselines, defined standardized calculation methods, and set trajectories toward 2030.
Key achievements include:
- Focused on underrepresented regions by expanding the database to 166,103 documents, with targeted growth from Africa, LATAM, MENA, and APAC toward a 50-50 balance with Europe and North America by 2030.
- Achieved ISO 42001 certification, becoming the first legal tech company to obtain this global standard for AI Management Systems, complementing existing ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type I certifications.
- Established carbon footprint baseline of 552 tCO₂e (Scopes 1–3) and committed to a 30% reduction by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050, aligned with the Paris Agreement.
- Maintained high free access with 97% of users and 87% of sessions free, ensuring 55% of engagement hours come from underrepresented regions.
- Grew the global legal network to over 111,000 profiles across 120+ nationalities, with focused efforts to increase claimed profiles from underrepresented regions.
However, the report also addresses where deliberate caution slowed progress. The AI Professional Search feature, designed to interconnect legal professionals while safeguarding against bias and misuse, will carry over into 2026 to ensure responsible completion without compromising ethical standards.
Ethical AI as a Governance Priority
The year saw a significant expansion of the Mission Committee’s mandate to include both Ethical AI and ESG oversight, marking a new phase of maturity where social impact, sustainability, and innovation converge.
For Chiann Bao, Mission Committee Member and Partner at ArbBoutique, Jus Mundi’s approach to AI development stands out:
“As a member of Jus Mundi’s Mission Committee, I have had the privilege of observing the company from a unique vantage point and witnessing up close its commitment to AI development within an Ethical AI Framework. Guided by the company’s five main principles – supplementing human expertise; explainability; bias mitigation and transparency; confidentiality and privacy; and quality assurance and accountability – its integration of these principles into its products has earned the company an ISO 42001 certification, which, to my knowledge, is a first for any legal tech company. Such an achievement is a recognition of its efforts to innovate while maintaining the highest ethical standards in AI development within the legal tech industry.”
The report includes a dedicated section from Jus Mundi’s CEO and Co-Founder, Jean-Rémi de Maistre, on ethical AI, outlining Jus Mundi’s five core principles that guide all AI development.
Growing Responsibly
The 2025 report formally integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments into Jus Mundi’s mission framework.
Alexandre Vagenheim, Vice-President of Institutional and Legal Affairs at Jus Mundi, explains:
“As a Société à Mission, responsible growth isn’t an add-on, it’s foundational to how we operate. Our ESG framework and carbon reduction strategy demonstrate that scaling globally and acting sustainably are not competing priorities. By integrating environmental accountability, employee well-being, and mission governance into our decision-making, we ensure that every step forward aligns with our values. This is what it means to grow responsibly: measuring our impact, being transparent about our challenges, and continuously improving how we balance growth with responsibility.“
What’s Next
With the groundwork complete, 2026 marks a transition from framework design to implementation. Key priorities include:
- Launching the first full year of mission KPI monitoring using validated baselines and methodologies
- Finalizing and operationalizing the Ethical AI Framework to guide all future AI development
- Implementing the ESG Policy and roadmap, including the first annual review of ESG metrics
- Releasing the AI Professional Search feature with embedded ethical safeguards following beta testing
As the report concludes: Jus Mundi now measures not only what it achieves, but how it achieves it, ensuring that justice, sustainability, and ethical innovation remain at the heart of its mission.
