Supporting IBMers Amid the Ukraine/Russia Crisis

IBM has for weeks been monitoring and implementing plans in response to the deteriorating situation involving Ukraine and Russia.

Our top priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of IBMers and their families in all of the impacted regions. We have been in constant touch with our local teams and have provided assistance including relocation and financial support. The full resources of our company are engaged in support of our teams, and any IBMer in need of help will get it.

Teams are also working through the impacts of evolving international sanctions and what they mean for IBM and our business. While the situation is dynamic, IBM will always follow the law.

IBMers around the world are unified in our hope that peace can be quickly restored. We commend world leaders who have acted quickly and decisively in hopes of expediting an end to this crisis.

Finally, we have heard the passion and concern of IBMers who want to help, and who want to know what steps our company is taking. We encourage IBMers to make a donation to the International Red Cross. IBM will match employee donations to the IRC.

We will of course continue monitoring events as they unfold and will share further updates as needed.
