Shareholders' Meeting Extended Inclusion
The SMEI (Shareholders’ Meeting Extended Inclusion) program began in 2016 with the aim of overcoming the physical, sensorial and communication barriers that can hinder shareholders and journalists from participating in the Annual General Meeting. This program has developed over time thanks to the enthusiasm, dedication and attention of the volunteers and Generali staff, offering a growing number of services always aimed at supporting everyone's active participation in that central moment in the life of the Company which is the AGM. The continuous evolution of this program is proof of Generali's constant commitment to inclusion, sustainability and the values of its Group strategy.
Given the possibility for shareholders to express their vote by participating in person at the 2025 Shareholders’ Meeting, in order to extend to the widest possible audience the opportunity to easily attend this fundamental moment of institutional communication, the SMEI program once again guaranteed the full range of personal services. Indeed, this year, Generali relied on the support of professionals and external collaborators: the social and healthcare workers who provide qualified assistance throughout the Annual General Meeting, mediators, Italian Sign Language (LIS) interpreters, subtitlers, and external providers of mobility aids, including wheelchairs and ergonomic cushions.
The professional support provided was also effectively and enthusiastically complemented by the activities of Generali Group volunteers, a fundamental pillar of the program. Generali strongly believes in the value that volunteers bring to the shareholder assistance program and, at the same time, in the precious wealth of knowledge, skills, and sensitivity that participation in SMEI can give to the people of Generali.
