Peer group, and who names BROWN FORMAN as a peer
Companies that benchmark against BF-B
1 company names BF-B as a compensation peer
- Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc.COKEFY2025
Each company listed discloses BF-B in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named BF-B in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
