The Policy Statement includes Joint Standards that cover ‘‘Practices to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion.’’ These Joint Standards contemplate that a regulated entity is transparent about its diversity and inclusion activities by making certain information available to the public annually on its website or through other appropriate communications methods, in a manner reflective of the entity’s size and other characteristics. The specific information referenced in these standards is: (a) Leadership commitment to diversity and inclusion; (b) workforce diversity and employment practices; (c) progress toward achieving diversity and inclusion in its procurement activities; and (d) opportunities available at the entity that promote diversity. In addition, the Policy Statement includes Joint Standards that address ‘‘Entities’ Self-Assessment.’’ The Joint Standards for Entities’ Self-Assessment envision that a regulated entity, in a manner reflective of its size and other characteristics, (a) conducts annually a voluntary self-assessment of its diversity policies and practices; (b) monitors and evaluates its performance under its diversity policies and practices on an ongoing basis; (c) provides information pertaining to its self-assessment to the OMWI Director of its primary federal financial regulator; and (d) publishes information pertaining to its efforts with respect to the Joint Standards. The collection of information described above is reported to the FDIC via the form entitled ‘‘Diversity SelfAssessment of Financial Institutions Regulated by the FDIC,’’ which can be submitted in paper 5 or electronic format.6 To facilitate DSA submissions, the FDIC has developed the automated Financial Institution Diversity SelfAssessment (FID–SA) application.
