IBM Workforce Diversity & Inclusion What is Diversity and Inclusion @ IBM ? DIVERSITY Within IBM, the principles of diversity extend beyond issues related to race, gender, or physical disabilities to differences in culture, lifestyle, age, background, experience, religion, economic status, sexual orientation and marital status. “None of us is as strong as all of us” INCLUSION is the essence of a workplace where everyone in the organization has the opportunity to fully participate in creating business success and is valued for the distinctive skills, experiences, and perspectives they bring to the workplace. 7 © 2008 IBM Corporation
