Summary

s the coordinating entity for the targeted Sudan divestment movement, the Sudan Divestment Task Force (SDTF), a project of the Genocide Intervention Network, provides support for individuals, public fiduciaries, asset managers and government officials who are participating in targeted Sudan divestment campaigns around the world. With pro bono legal support from Cooley Godward Kronish LLP and analytical support from the Calvert Group, SDTF has developed a unique and financially sound approach to shareholder engagement and divestment, focusing efforts on the most problematic and risk prone companies in Sudan. This approach, termed targeted Sudan divestment, recently was authorized by the United States government. It helps to maximize impact on the Sudanese government while minimizing potential harm to both innocent Sudanese civilians and investment returns. SDTF also provides company research and corporate engagement assistance to thousands of fiduciaries worldwide, representing more than US $3 trillion in total assets.
