A new technology was used at this year's AGM, enabling shareholders to confirm their identity using NFC and biometric identity verification solutions. Ahead of the meeting shareholders had their pictures taken and received a keyring with their full identity data. This device can be used during electronic voting and registration at future meetings, which will streamline these procedures, removing the need to without presenting identity documents or entering a login and a password. The new technology also provides for quicker and more reliable shareholder identity verification, with additional data security.
