A conditional check across diversity policy, and diversity policy, nomination and gender diversity (R 22.02, R 22.01, row 0010, EBA rule v22591_m)

A blocking check 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, executive directors is empty, and target % set in percentage (two digits e.g. 33.33%) in the diversity policy, including in cases where this is applicable under national law, non-executive directors 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 Targets set only for the management body in the supervisory function (non-executive directors).

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, Executive directors is empty and 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, Non-executive directors > 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 Targets set only for the management body in the supervisory function (non-executive directors)

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 blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
