ACPR Compliance with EBA Guidelines on Diversity Practices Assessment (EBA/GL/2023/08)

OPINION
Compliance of the ACPR with the European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines on the comparative assessment of diversity practices, including diversity policies and the gender pay gap, under Directive 2013/36/EU and Directive 2019/2031/EU (EBA/GL/2023/08)

The Prudential Control and Resolution Authority (ACPR) has declared compliance with the European Banking Authority's guidelines on the comparative assessment of diversity practices, including diversity policies and the gender pay gap, under Directive 2013/36/EU and Directive 2019/2031/EU, with the exception of the provisions of these guidelines requiring the submission to the ACPR of information relating to "non-binary" gender, due to the absence of recognition of this category in French law.

The ACPR expects the Class 1 bis and Class 2 credit institutions and investment firms concerned by these guidelines to do everything in their power to comply with all their provisions, with the exception of those to which the ACPR has declared it does not intend to comply.

These "EBA/GL/2023/08" guidelines entered into force on June 27, 2024; the first data collection exercise covered by these guidelines will take place in 2025 on data relating to the 2024 fiscal year.
