S&P, TSX Launch Cleantech Index

Learn about green investing 

Standard & Poor’s and TMX Group Inc., operator of Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), announced the launch of a new green investing index to track cleantech companies.

The S&P/TSX Clean Technology Index measures the performance of companies listed on TSX whose core business is in the development and deployment of green technologies.

S&P and TSX chose Jantzi-Sustainalytics, a provider of environmental, social, and governance research and analysis, to develop and maintain the Clean Technology Classification System.

Jantzi-Sustainalytics screened TSX listed securities according to a methodology which first evaluates companies for inclusion based on involvement in and strategic commitment to five environment themes: Renewable Energy – Production and Distribution; Renewable Energy – Specialized Suppliers; Energy Efficiency; Waste Reduction and Water Management; and Low Impact materials and products. We believe it is the first comprehensive index of Canadian companies that are focused on addressing environmental issues such as climate change.
