European Commission report on results achieved in complying with requirements under the European Union (EU) Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) that management bodies should be diverse in terms of age, gender, geographical provenance and educational and professional background.

Most sampled institutions are not yet compliant with the CRD requirements. Most institutions had set gender diversity targets but had not yet met them and/or had not set a timetable for doing so. Report suggests that both institutions and supervisors need to make further efforts to ensure that required diversity policies are in place.
