"The company was reported as potentially selling pump products in Iran. In 2018 CalPERS designated the company as under review. In 2019 CalPERS changed the designation to “being monitored” because CalPERS’ initial screening has not identified the company as having involvement in the regions and/or activities targeted by the Act. CalPERS has maintained the company in “monitor” status for 2020. CalPERS continues to monitor the company for possible changes in status relevant to the Act."

In 2016, CalSTRS designated Sulzer AG as “Being Monitored” while conducting further review of the company’s internal controls and compliance programs and maintained that designation in 2017. In 2018, CalSTRS removed Sulzer AG from the “Being Monitored“list after reviewing internal controls and receiving confirmation the company ceased doing business in Iran. In 2019 CalPERS changed the designation to “being monitored” because CalPERS’ initial screening has not identified the company as having involvement in the activities targeted by the Act. CalPERS will continue to assess and/or monitor the company for possible changes in status relevant to the Act.
