In a report issued on 9 May 2008 the Sudan Divestment Task Force noted Petrofac’s recent announcement of its support of a pilot education initiative in Southern Sudan through the provision of a substantial grant to BRAC UK and commended the Company for its ‘readiness to develop policies at the group level to respond to the unique concerns associated with its operations in Sudan’. 

The Task Force has re-designated Petrofac’s status within their classification system as a company meriting ‘ongoing engagement’. Companies within this category are not recommended for any divestment initiatives.
