A conditional check on diversity policy, nomination and gender diversity (R 22.01, EBA rule v22581_m)

A blocking check in the diversity benchmarking return (REM diversity), on template R 22.01, diversity policy, nomination and gender diversity.

The rule in plain words

If quantitative target set as percentage: (yes/no) is Yes or quantitative target set as headcount: (yes/no) is Yes or qualitative target (e.g. aiming at an appropriate gender balance): (yes/no) is Yes or does the diverisity policy explicitly consider non-binary directors (please select the option that best describes your policy)? is reported, does the institution or investment firm have a diversity policy? must be Yes.

All the values are in the answer column (0010) of R 22.01.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

If Quantitative target set as percentage: (yes/no) is Yes or Quantitative target set as headcount: (yes/no) is Yes or Qualitative target (e.g. aiming at an appropriate gender balance): (yes/no) is Yes or Does the diverisity policy explicitly consider non-binary directors (please select the option that best describes your policy)? is reported, then Does the institution/investment firm have a diversity policy? is Yes

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your file. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 22.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
