Sign the Petition
I call on Franklin Templeton, JPMorgan Chase, Fidelity Investments, Capital Group (American Funds), Vanguard, and other firms to divest from companies that help fund genocide in Darfur.
Details and Data Sources
The information here is based on research from the
Sudan Divestment Task Force.
A summary of the data is
available here.
The Sudan Divestment Task Force has developed the targeted divestment strategy
and has conducted extensive research on companies that are helping fund the genocide in
Darfur. Please see the Task Force’s
web site and the report above for more information about targeted divestment,
PetroChina, CNPC, and other involved companies.
The investments of the target
companies, as reported by the Sudan Divestment Task Force, are estimates based
on:
- data from Bloomberg on August 1, 2007
- the latest available filings from Bloomberg data, with filing dates ranging from 3/2006 to 6/2007. Filing data was not available for a single date due to variations in filing procedures from fund to fund and country to country.
Further details are available at www.sudandivestment.org and http://www.sudandivestment.org/repor

Individual mutual funds can be researched using the Sudan Screening Tool
The
information on companies that have divested was also compiled by the Sudan Divestment Task
Force. If you represent an investment firm that has divested or is considering a divestment
policy please contact divest@savedarfur.org.
Fidelity Out Of Sudan and Investors Against Genocide also provided
extensive assistance with company research and engagement with companies that are
considering Sudan divestment policies.

Coalition have a partnership through which Calvert provides pro-bono research services to
