2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A conditional check across diversity policy, and diversity policy, nomination and gender diversity (R 22.02, R 22.01, row 0010, EBA rule v22585_m)

A warning in the diversity benchmarking return (REM diversity), on templates R 22.01, diversity policy, nomination and gender diversity and R 22.02, diversity policy, Quantitative targets set within the diversity policy.

The rule in plain words

If target % set in percentage (two digits e.g. 33.33%) in the diversity policy, including in cases where this is applicable under national law, management body (only if a target is set for the management body, as a whole) is more than zero or target expressed as minimum headcount in the diversity policy (number of members), management body (only if a target is set for the management body, as a whole) is more than zero, SCOPE: for which scope of members of the management body are gender diversity targets set? (please select from drop down menu), answer must be Target set for the management body, as a whole.

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 R_22.02: Target % set in percentage (two digits e.g. 33.33%) in the diversity policy, including in cases where this is applicable under national law, Management body (only if a target is set for the management body, as a whole) > 0 or R_22.02: Target expressed as minimum headcount in the diversity policy (number of members), Management body (only if a target is set for the management body, as a whole) > 0, then R_22.01: SCOPE: For which scope of members of the management body are gender diversity targets set? (please select from drop down menu) is Target set for the management body, as a whole

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 22.01 and R 22.02 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
