Corporate responsibility: Building a more sustainable, equitable future

I am proud to share IBM’s 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report. This collection of programs, policies and plans reflects IBM’s belief that corporate responsibility drives long-term value not just in our business, but also for IBM clients, shareholders, employees and the communities in which we operate. We understand that large societal challenges cannot be overcome by any single public or private entity and so we work to establish a wide range of partnerships, collaborations and engagements to drive innovation and advance progress. Although 2020 presented many challenges, we are determined to emerge stronger and remain steadfast to the values that have served our company well.

IBMers take pride in our company’s history as a vanguard in environmental protection, inclusive employment policies and more—and we take seriously the obligation to continue our legacy of corporate responsibility today. I hope you will take a moment to explore IBM’s work to help build a more sustainable, equitable future for our company and its stakeholders.

But with privilege comes responsibility – responsibility to ensure the technologies we deploy can be trustworthy, that they protect privacy, that they make a lasting positive impact on…

Let’s Empower Women at Every Age and Stage, Especially for STEM

3 min read - What can we do to help women succeed in STEM studies and in the workforce? This is the question we should always be asking, but especially today, on International Women's Day 2022. We're getting better at adding women to the STEM workforce, but it’s far from ideal: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, women comprised 8% of American STEM workers in 1970, and reached 27% of the STEM workforce by 2019.
