With a massive public debate on LGBT+ rights underway in Australia, we had the opportunity to help influence both internal and external debate, and position IBM as a leader in LGBT+ rights. Our CEO became one of the first in Australia to pledge support for marriage equality and continued to show public support for the LGBT+ community through carefully crafted content and communications that would not alienate IBM employees, clients or partners who may not share the same views.

Kerry Purcell, Managing Director of IBM Australia Limited was also one of the first CEO’s in Australia to add his weight to the push for a parliamentary vote to amend the definition of marriage under the Australian constitution.

"We truly showed the world how a company should support equality (policy not politics) for LGBT+ employees. I have never been prouder to be an IBMer!" - IBM Employee
