Released on May 27, 2008
The Sudan Peer Performance Analysis, conducted by the Genocide Intervention Network examines the historical and forecasted performance of companies identified by the Sudan Divestment Task Force (SDTF) as "Highest Offenders" in Sudan, as compared to the historical and forecasted performance of each company's peer group. All data in this analysis comes from Bloomberg LP. Peer groups generated by Bloomberg LP were determined by matching each "Highest Offender" with companies that share the same industry classification, geographic region (including developed vs. emerging market classification), and market capitalization category.
