IBM lives its purpose of being a catalyst that makes the world work better, creating impactful solutions to the Environmental, Social, and Governance challenges that face companies and society. IBM’s social impact programs aim to address complex societal challenges by utilizing our technologies and our greatest strength, our employees. Our priority areas are:
Education & Skills – IBM SkillsBuild is free education program that provides valuable skills and career opportunities to traditionally underrepresented communities in technology. The program includes an online platform that is complemented by customized practical learning experiences delivered in collaboration with a global network of partners.
IBM Giving and Volunteering – IBM Volunteers leverages the collective power of people and resources to ensure meaningful impact worldwide. The program supports active and retired IBMers who donate their time and talents to academia, grassroots initiatives, and organizations helping to build our communities—and their efforts qualify for IBM grants to the eligible organizations they support.
Sustainbility – IBM Sustainability Accelerator program launched in 2022 – a pro bono social impact program that applies IBM technologies, such as hybrid cloud and AI, and expertise to enhance and scale nonprofit and government organization solutions, helping populations especially vulnerable to environmental threats.
