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.

The index is the work of Social Ventureion, a nonprofit that works with investors, funds, enterprises, and institutions to help them take the "first step or next step on their impact journey," per a press release.

The index looks at debt and equity offerings from private equity funds to housing bonds that have a social, environmental, or economic impact, and provides a single point of access to information for asset owners, asset managers, researchers, and other key stakeholders in the Canadian impact investing ecosystem, reports the Globe and Mail.
