E-comms mean you can immediately gain receipt of proxy material, annual reports, notices of meetings and other materials
E-comms enable you to vote your proxy online for the proposals put forth to shareholders rather than having to return your vote through the mail
E-comms mean less paper, printing and transport, which reduces carbon emissions, uses fewer resources and means a more positive impact on our planet
