Summary
Recommended model legislation for shareholder engagement and targeted divestment of scrutinized companies in Sudan. Developed in consultation with foreign policy experts, asset managers, third-party research firms, and other institutions, this policy allows for maximal impact on the government of Sudan while minimizing harms to both Sudanese citizens and portfolio returns. The criteria target companies that:
1. Have a business relationship with the government or government-created project,
2. Impart minimal benefit to the country’s underprivileged, and
3. Have demonstrated no substantial corporate governance policy regarding the Darfur situation.
The targeted divestment model only requires divestment from companies that are unresponsive to an expedited period of shareholder engagement.
