The Toronto Stock Exchange kicked off its new social, environmental, and economic justice-focused exchange this week with the debut of SVX Impact Index, a first-of-its-kind database that tracks the impact debt and equity offerings of Canadian companies that have a social, environmental, or economic impact.
