Enel SpA reportedly has an agreement to purchase liquefied natural gas from Iran. In 2017, CalSTRS identified Enel SpA as potentially having ties to Iran and began the review process. In 2018, CalSTRS removed Enel SpA after reviewing the company ties to Iran and internal controls to prevent sanction violations (https://www.calstrs.com/sites/main/files/file-attachments/calstrs_investment_reports_2018.pdf)

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."
