Diversity & Inclusion



“In my almost 20 years at IBM, I have been part of a lot of teams, and the most effective were clearly the most diverse. People with varying origins, backgrounds and lifestyles complement, challenge and energise each other and, quite often, deliver the most original ideas and strongest results.”


- Dominique Cerutti
General Manager IBM Southwest Europe



IBM believes that promoting an inclusive workplace environment is the right thing to do and makes good business sense. Acknowledging, promoting and supporting diversity are at the heart of this belief.

The definition of diversity today goes beyond race, gender and physical disability to include culture, age, religion, economic status, sexual orientation, lifestyle and marital status. For over a century, diversity and inclusion have been part of the fabric at IBM. IBM reflects that diversity both in its workplace and in the suppliers it chooses, in order to better serve its clients and the communities in which it operates. It is not about providing advantage, but rather, eliminating disadvantage.
