Pledge to #BeEqual

A decade before the Civil Rights Act, the chairperson of IBM wrote Policy Letter #4—history’s first corporate mandate on equal employment for everyone.

That commitment to diversity and inclusion has continued to endure. 65 years on, promoting the advancement of gender equality in business leadership is still integral to our habits, practices, and purpose.

This International Women’s Day, IBM invites you to participate in our Be Equal initiative to engage IBMers, customers and society at large in promoting the advancement of gender equality in business leadership.

Elevating women in the workplace is not only important, but essential. There is ample evidence that gender diversity is one of the key drivers of creativity and innovation. This initiative is about hiring, developing, mentoring and promoting women at every level of the organization. And this can only be achieved through an equal and inclusive workplace for both women and men.
