"The company was reported as potentially providing lightweight composite cylinders which may be used for the storage of gases. 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."

"… By way of background, Hexagon provided one cylinder (pressure vessel) to Iran in 2016 for package studies.

…Hexagon also has strict internal controls that will actively prevent any business with Iran in the future. As you note, in 2019, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) did not identify Hexagon as having involvement in any activities targeted by the 2019 California Public Divest from Iran Act. Please be advised that Hexagon recently responded to an inquiry from CALPERS, confirming that Hexagon has no ties to Iran. Thus, as requested please consider this official communication from Hexagon confirming complete cessation of Iran business. We request that United Against Nuclear Iran update the Iran Business Registry accordingly.”" (Response 6/9/2020)
