In her memo to IBM staff explaining her resignation from the President’s Forum following the Charlottesville disaster, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty says:
“In the past week, we have seen and heard of public events and statements that run counter to our values as a country and a company.”
“IBM has long said, and more importantly, demonstrated its commitment to a workplace and a society that is open, inclusive and provides opportunity to all. IBM’s commitment to these values remains robust, active and unwavering.“
“We have worked with every U.S. president since Woodrow Wilson. We are determinedly non-partisan – we maintain no political action committee. And we have always believed that dialogue is critical to progress; that is why I joined the President’s Forum earlier this year.”
“But this group can no longer serve the purpose for which it was formed.”
” The despicable conduct of hate groups in Charlottesville last weekend, and the violence and death that resulted from it, shows yet again that our nation needs to focus on unity, inclusion, and tolerance.”
‘IBM will continue to work with all parts of the government for policies that support job growth, vocational education and global trade, as well as fair and informed policies on immigration and taxation.’
