EBA consults on guidance on benchmarking of diversity practices
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on Guidelines on the benchmarking of diversity practices including diversity policies and gender pay gap under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and the Investment Firms Directive (IFD). The EBA has been collecting data on diversity since 2015 based on information requests. The issuance of these Guidelines will lead to a higher level of transparency regarding the EBA’s work on the topic of diversity and gender equality and will help improve the quality of the collected data as well as the awareness of all stakeholders on these topics. The consultation runs until 24 July 2023.
