Computershare's eTree program dramatically reduces issuer costs associated with the printing and mailing of shareholder materials.
eTree is a Computershare initiative with Landcare Australia. The program is aimed at providing securityholders with a compelling environmental incentive to register to receive electronic registry-related communications. eTree was launched in March 2004 with the support of 10 Foundation members and today has over 101 participating companies and has raised over AU $2 million for Landcare Australia.
For every securityholder who registers with eTree, a donation of up to $2 is made to Landcare Australia on their behalf to support vital reforestation projects across Australia and New Zealand. eTree is open to all Australian listed companies, regardless of their registry service provider.
The Benefits
Securityholders - by registering for eTree, securityholders receive communications faster, reduce their letterbox clutter and contribute to reforestation projects that bring direct benefit to the environment. Securityholders with multiple holdings can also register to receive electronic communications from eTree participating companies, across their entire portfolio.
Companies - reduce print and postage expenses, help the environment and establish a more efficient, effective and timely communication channel with securityholders.
