(TSX:GEI) will replace Seven Generations Energy on the Jantzi Social Index (JSI)® effective as of the opening of markets on Tuesday, May 11, 2021.

In creating the JSI, Jantzi Research, now Sustainalytics, a Morningstar company, set out to create an index which could be used by institutional investors to benchmark the performance of socially-screened portfolios and by financial institutions to develop investment products such as index mutual funds, exchange traded funds, index portfolios, index futures and options.
