Kern van de disclosure

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain the diversity profile of its own workforce in a way that is useful for understanding who is employed and how representative that workforce is. In practice, it is about reporting the mix of people across relevant diversity dimensions using the organisation’s own employee data, rather than giving a general statement about commitment or culture.

The practical focus is on the workforce covered by the reporting boundary and on using a consistent basis so the information is comparable over time. Organisations should think about whether the data reflects the full workforce across operations, entities and locations within scope, rather than only selected sites or headline examples, and should be clear about any gaps or limitations in coverage.

Hoe u dit voorbereidt

Set the reporting boundary first: decide which workforce population you are counting for this disclosure, and keep that scope consistent across the three gender percentages.
Agree the classification rules before you calculate anything: define how your organisation will assign people to the female, male, or other categories, using one clear approach for the whole dataset.
Pull together the underlying records: gather the source data that shows headcount by the chosen categories, and make sure the figures can be traced back to a reliable internal source.
Calculate each percentage from the same total population: produce separate values for female, male, and other, and check that the three percentages are based on the same denominator.
Record any exclusions or changes in method: note who was left out, what was adjusted, and why, so the reported numbers can be understood and reproduced later.
Compare the final output with the official source before sign-off: confirm the scope, category definitions, calculations, and presentation all match the disclosure requirements and the source data.

De gegevens opvragen

Request the workforce gender split data

Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.

What is the current gender split of our workforce for the reporting period and boundary we are using?

Use your organisation’s own people-data terms first, then map them to the reporting categories. For example, if you talk about staff groups, worker population, or headcount cohorts internally, use those labels in the request and only translate them afterwards for reporting. Check the source data and the final mapping before sign-off.

Zwak verzoek

Please provide the ESRS S1-8 diversity data for the workforce, including the gender breakdown.

Waarom dit misgaat: This is too framework-led and does not tell the owner which population, source, cut-off, or internal labels to use. It also leaves the basis of the figures unclear, so the returned data may not match the reporting boundary or the organisation’s own records.

Beter verzoek

Please send the current workforce gender split for [reporting period] covering [reporting boundary]. Use our internal people-data labels, and include the source system, cut-off date, population covered, and whether the figures are headcount or another basis. Please return counts and percentages by category, plus the supporting export or report link.

Subject: Request for workforce gender split data for [reporting period]\n\nHi [name],\n\nCould you please send over the workforce gender split extract for [reporting period] covering [reporting boundary]?\n\nPlease use the organisation’s own people-data labels in the extract, and include the source system, cut-off date, population covered, and the basis used for the figures. If the data is held in more than one system, please note which source was used for each part.\n\nA simple table with the counts and percentages by internal gender category would be ideal. Please also attach or link the supporting export, report, or dashboard view used to prepare it.\n\nIf anything is unclear, I’m happy to align on the wording before you send it. Please also check the official source before sign-off.\n\nThanks,\n[preparer name]

Methodenotitie

State how the workforce population was defined for this disclosure and explain that the percentages are calculated from the same underlying headcount base for the three recorded gender categories.

Contextnotitie

Use the figures to show how the workforce is distributed across the recorded gender categories, so readers can see the overall balance rather than isolated percentages.

Toelichting op schommelingen

If the mix changes versus a prior period, point to the main drivers such as hiring, exits or reclassification, and note whether the movement is broad-based or concentrated in one category.

Bewering Risico Te controleren bewijs
We built the figure from our own working definition of senior leadership, rather than assuming a generic corporate label, and we documented that definition before we counted anyone.The assurer may test whether the population was defined consistently and whether the chosen boundary could have changed the result.Internal definition note or methodology paper; approval of the boundary used; mapping of named roles to the chosen population; version history showing the definition in place before reporting.
For the count, we used either the two management layers immediately below the board-level bodies or our own agreed leadership boundary, and we kept the same basis throughout the calculation.The assurer may probe whether the selected basis was appropriate, applied consistently, and not switched part-way through preparation.Calculation workbook showing the selected basis; organisational chart or role hierarchy; evidence of the approved approach; reconciliation showing the same basis used across all entities or segments included.
We checked the final table against source records so the headcount and percentage figures tie back to the underlying population, and we retained support for each gender category shown.The assurer may look for arithmetic errors, unsupported classifications, or a mismatch between the published numbers and source data.Source HR or people-system extracts; calculation sheets with formulas; tie-out or reconciliation to the published table; evidence supporting the gender classification used; review sign-off before publication.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten in de rapportage

A percentage is stated without the underlying counts (numerator and denominator).
The denominator — what the figure is a share of — is not explained.
Partial scope is reported as if it were complete coverage.
One-off activities are counted as if they were ongoing programmes.
Boundary or period changes that move the figure are not flagged.
Exclusions from the reported scope are not listed or explained.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten

Fouten om te vermijden bij het verzamelen van gegevens

Wrong ownerChasing the wrong team means the figures come from people who do not hold the headcount records, so the percentages are built from second-hand information.
Framework language onlyAsking for the data in ESRS-style terms instead of the organisation’s own job and workforce labels leaves local teams unsure which records to pull.
Scope not pinned downIf you do not define which parts of the business and which worker groups are in scope, different teams will count different populations and the totals will not match.

Waar vaak een professionele afweging nodig is

Set the population cut-off and stick to itChoose the workforce population you will use for the percentage split, explain any exclusions at the margins, and keep the same approach unless a change is clearly described.
Decide how to handle a year of buying or selling parts of the businessIf the group changes through acquisitions or disposals, state whether the split reflects the opening, closing, or average workforce and explain any restatement or non-restatement of prior figures.
Use one people-classification rule across countries, or explain the differencesWhere local records describe gender or other identity categories differently, map them into one reporting basis, disclose the mapping approach, and note any countries where the source data cannot be aligned cleanly.

Echte gepubliceerde rapporten
Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.
Banks / Diverse Financials / Insurance · Italy · 2024
Rapport openen →
Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.'s 2024 Annual Report provides gender diversity data at the top management level, reporting 23.1% male and 76.9% other gender representation on page 228. The report also includes a breakdown of total employees by gender, with 42,814 males out of 93,539 total employees noted on page 221. However, the report does not provide a clear percentage value for other gender categories beyond top management, nor does it clarify some gender-related data points, leaving certain diversity metrics incomplete or unclear.
Schneider Electric S.E.
Electrical Equipment and Machinery · France · 2025
Rapport openen →
Schneider Electric S.E.'s 2025 Universal Registration Document provides detailed headcount data by gender for leadership positions, reporting 422 female and 972 male leaders in 2025 (p.213). The report also includes gender distribution percentages for leaders and a breakdown of promotions by gender, with women representing 33% of promotions in 2025 (p.355). However, the report does not provide a clear percentage value for overall gender distribution or specific pay gap figures, as these datapoints are either not found or not clearly reported.
GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft
Electrical Equipment and Machinery · Germany · 2025
Rapport openen →
GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft’s 2025 Annual Report provides detailed gender distribution data at top management levels, showing the Supervisory Board comprises 66.7% male and 33.3% female members (p.166). The report also includes overall employee headcount by gender, with 14,900 males and 3,954 females in 2025 (p.156). However, the report does not clearly disclose percentage values for gender diversity changes or targets, and the mention of a 1.2% decrease in male managers is not fully explained or contextualised (p.166).

Scenario’s om door te werken

Your HR system shows three gender fields for the workforce: female, male, and another category used by some staff. One employee has not chosen a category, and the team is unsure whether to leave that person out of the figures.

VHow should the preparer handle the headcount split before turning it into percentages for the disclosure?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A preparer has workforce data from two systems: payroll for employees and a separate register for board appointees. The board register uses different labels for gender than payroll, and the team is worried the percentages will not be comparable.

VWhat should the preparer do before finalising the three percentages?
Modelantwoord tonen →

The draft note says the workforce is 61% female, 38% male and 1% other. A reviewer notices the percentages were rounded from more precise figures and asks whether the note is still acceptable.

VWhat should the preparer check about the percentages before release?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A company has a small number of contractors working alongside employees, and the reporting team is unsure whether to include them in the diversity percentages because the internal HR report mixes both groups.

VWhat decision should the preparer make about the population before calculating the percentages?
