SECTION II - ASSESSMENT OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S DIVERSITY POLICIES AND PRACTICES
1. Organizational Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
The leadership of an organization with successful diversity policies and practices demonstrates its commitment to diversity and
inclusion. Leadership comes from the governing body, such as a board of directors, as well as senior officials and those managing the
organization on a day-to-day basis. These Standards inform how a financial institution promotes diversity and inclusion in both
employment and contracting and how it fosters a corporate culture that embraces diversity and inclusion.

Standards

Yes

No

Activities that support Program Success or
Program Challenges

In a manner reflective of the individual financial institution's size and other characteristics,
1.1 The financial institution includes diversity and inclusion
considerations in both employment and contracting as an important
part of its strategic plan for recruiting, hiring, retention, and promotion.

1.2 The financial institution has a diversity and inclusion policy that is
approved and supported by senior leadership, including senior
management and the board of directors.

1.3 The financial institution provides regular progress reports to the
board and senior management.

1.4 The financial institution regularly conducts training and provides
educational opportunities on equal employment opportunity and on
diversity and inclusion.

and inclusion efforts.

1.6 The financial institution takes proactive steps to promote a diverse
pool of candidates, including women and minorities, in its hiring,
recruiting, retention, and promotion, as well as in its selection of board
members, senior management, and other senior leadership positions.

2. Workforce Profile and Employment Practices
Many financial institutions promote the fair inclusion of minorities and women in their workforce by publicizing employment
opportunities, creating relationships with minority and women professional organizations and educational institutions, creating a culture
that values the contribution of all employees, and encouraging a focus on these objectives when evaluating the performance of
managers. Financial institutions with successful diversity and inclusion programs also regularly evaluate their programs and identify
areas to be improved.

Standards

Yes

No

Activities that support Program Success or

In a manner reflective of the individual financial institution's size and other characteristic,
2.1 The financial institution implements policies and practices related
to workforce diversity and inclusion in a manner that complies with all
applicable laws.

2.2 The financial institution ensures equal employment opportunities
for all employees and applicants for employment and does not engage
in unlawful employment discrimination based on gender, race, or
ethnicity.

2.3 The financial institution has policies and practices that create diverse applicant pools for both internal and external opportunities
that may include:
2.3(a) Outreach to minority and women organizations.

hiring, promotions, separations (voluntary and involuntary), career
development, and retention across all levels and occupations of the
financial institution, including the executive and managerial ranks.
2.5 The financial institution holds management at all levels
accountable for diversity and inclusion efforts, for example, by
ensuring that such efforts align with business strategies and individual
performance plans.

3. Procurement and Business Practices - Supplier Diversity
Companies increasingly understand the competitive advantage of having a broad selection of available suppliers to choose from with
respect to factors such as price, quality, attention to detail, and future relationship building. A number of financial institutions have
achieved success at expanding available business options by increasing outreach to minority-owned and women-owned businesses.
As in the employment context, financial institutions often use metrics to identify the baseline of how much they spend procuring and
contracting for goods and services, how much they spend with minority-owned and women-owned businesses, and the availability of
relevant minority-owned and women-owned businesses, as well as changes over time. Similarly, financial institutions may use
outreach to inform minority-owned and women-owned businesses (and affinity groups representing these constituencies) of these
opportunities and of the procurement process. In addition, financial institutions’ prime contractors often use subcontractors to fulfill the
obligations of various contracts. The use of minority-owned and women-owned businesses as subcontractors provides valuable
opportunities for both the minority-owned and women-owned businesses and the prime contractor. Financial institutions may
encourage the use of minority-owned and women-owned subcontractors by incorporating this objective in their business contracts.

Standards

Yes

No

Activities that support Program Success or

In a manner reflective of the individual financial institution's size and other characteristics.
3.1 The financial institution has a supplier diversity policy that
provides for a fair opportunity for minority-owned and women-owned
businesses to compete for procurement of business goods and
services. This includes contracts of all types, including contracts for
the issuance or guarantee of any debt, equity, or security, the sale of
assets, the management of the financial institution’s assets, and the
development of the financial institution’s equity investments.
3.2 The financial institution has methods to evaluate its supplier diversity, which may include metrics and analytics related to:
3.2(a) Annual procurement spending.

3.2(b) Percentage of contract dollars awarded to minority-owned
and women-owned businesses by race, ethnicity, and gender.

3.2(c) Percentage of contracts with minority-owned and womenowned business subcontractors.

3.3 The financial institution has practices to promote a diverse supplier pool, which may include:
3.3(a) Outreach to minority-owned and women-owned
contractors and representative organizations.

3.3(b) Participation in conferences, workshops, and other events

4. Practice to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion
Transparency and publicity are important aspects of assessing diversity policies and practices. Greater awareness and transparency
give the public information to assess those policies and practices. Financial institutions publicize information about their diversity and
inclusion efforts through normal business methods, which include displaying information on their websites, in their promotional
materials, and in their annual reports to shareholders, if applicable. By making public a financial institution's commitment to diversity
and inclusion, its plans for achieving diversity and inclusion, and the metrics it uses to measure success in both workplace and supplier
diversity, a financial institution informs a broad constituency of investors, employees, potential employees, suppliers, customers, and
the general community about its efforts. The publication of this information can make new markets accessible for minorities and
women and illustrate the progress made toward an important business goal.
