Corporate Responsibility

“Monsanto has long prided itself on our unwavering commitment to integrity in all of our business operations. From our vision of ‘abundant food and a healthy environment’ to our daily efforts at delivering agricultural solutions to growers around the world, to our Monsanto Pledge, trust and integrity are core to our corporate identity.”
--Hugh Grant, Monsanto CEO

At Monsanto, we strive to develop, manufacture and deliver products that provide societal, environmental and economic value. Our Pledge guides all that we do, helps us convert our values to actions and results, and makes clear who we are and what we champion.

We strive to conduct ourselves and our business practices in alignment with our Pledge values. As an agricultural technology leader, our corporate responsibilities and the values to which we hold ourselves accountable extend past the boardroom to the lab, to the farm – and beyond. It begins with our employees and branches out to our customers and the communities in which they grow the seeds and use the products that help feed, clothe and fuel the world.

Our technology, whether in conventional breeding, biotechnology or agricultural productivity, must be developed and used responsibly and safely. Monsanto’s strong commitment to safety includes creating safe working conditions for all of our employees worldwide and extends to those who use our products and to the environment in which they are used.

With the development of products that require less labor and that allow greater yield with fewer inputs, Monsanto helps both large and small growers around the world farm in a more sustainable way and attain a better quality of life. It is the combination of our Pledge, our focus on excellence in business conduct, our commitment to integrity, and our products that help us bring about our vision of a better world.

At Monsanto, we pledge to be a part of the solution. Read more here about how we put our Pledge into action.
