IBM Diversity & Inclusion 2021

Inclusion is imperative for the health of our business and our society.

At IBM, we drive real progress by going beyond valuing and promoting individual differences. We have dedicated ourselves to identifying barriers and creating advancement opportunities in an equitable way for all our stakeholders - from employees to suppliers, communities, and the world at large. We continuously evolve our behaviors and actions to be more inclusive.

Simply put, we’re catalysts of systemic change for the world.

“I fundamentally believe that as we continue to uphold the values of diversity, inclusion, and equity, we will make IBM a better and stronger company.”
Arvind Krishna
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, IBM
