APPENDIX 1 PAGE 3 of 3

INTRODUCTION: The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) has a deep interest in the condition of workers employed by CalPERS and its Managers and Delegates. CalPERS, through the Statement of Investment Policy for the Neutrality Trial Responsible Contractor Program (“Responsible Contractor Policy”), supports and encourages fair wages and fair benefits for workers employed by its contractors and subcontractors, subject to fiduciary principles concerning duties of loyalty and prudence, both of which further require competitive returns on CalPERS real estate and infrastructure investments. CalPERS endorses small business development, market competition and control of operating costs. CalPERS supports many of the ideals espoused by labor unions and encourages participation by labor unions and their signatory contractors in the development and management of CalPERS real estate and infrastructure investments. CalPERS believes that an adequately compensated and trained worker delivers a higher quality product and service. This policy is intended to complement and in no manner detract from existing CalPERS policies regarding Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises contract participation. DEFINITIONS:

Responsible Contractor: A business that pays workers a fair wage and a fair benefit as evidenced by payroll and employee records and who complies with the CalPERS Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise policy. The definition of fair benefits includes, but is not limited to, employer paid family health care coverage, pension benefits, and apprenticeship programs. What constitutes a fair wage and a fair benefit depends on the wages and benefits paid on comparable real estate or infrastructure projects. Fair wages and fair benefits are based upon local market factors, that include the nature of the project (e.g. residential or commercial and public or private) comparable job or trade classifications, and the scope and complexity of services provided. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Policy: CalPERS contractors shall make a good faith effort to comply with CalPERS annual contract participation goals by directing 3% of their CalPERS-related purchases of goods and services to Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise: A business enterprise that is certified by the State of California, Office of Small Business & DVBE Services of the Department of General Services as meeting all of the following: (1) it is a business enterprise which is at least 51% owned by one or more Disabled Veterans, (2) the management and control of the daily business operations are controlled by one or more Disabled Veterans (the Disabled Veterans who exercise management and control are not required to be the same Disabled Veterans as the owners of the business concern), and (3) its home office is located in the United States and it is not a branch or subsidiary of a foreign corporation, foreign firm or other foreign-based business. Disabled Veteran: A veteran of the military, naval or air services of the United States with a service-connected disability of at least 10 percent who is a resident of the State of California.
