Pnyx.corporate is a software platform that allows publicly-traded companies to offer to their shareholders the possibility of voting and delegating their votes electronically in an easy and secure manner, complying with the current legislation.
The importance of Good Corporate Governance and Transparency has increased in most countries as a result of financial scandals. Many companies worldwide are committed to achieving this transparency by fostering the participation of their shareholders in the Shareholders' Meetings. Remote electronic voting can effectively contribute towards this goal since it enables small shareholders who cannot physically attend the Shareholders' Meeting to participate remotely.
