Monsanto is a global modern agriculture company. We develop products and tools to help farmers around the world grow crops while using energy, water, and land more efficiently. We believe innovation has the potential to bring humanity’s needs in balance with the resources of our planet. Integrity, respect, and transparency are core values, and acting as good corporate citizens in each country where we operate is at the foundation of our work. Products and Solutions We research, develop, test, and collaborate with others to bring the best in agricultural innovation and products, guided by the principles of good science and continuous improvement. Human Rights We care about living and working conditions at our locations, and we work to respect and advance human rights. We prohibit the use of child or forced labor, and we work to provide a safe, diverse, and inclusive workplace free from harassment and violence. Compensation that meets or exceeds the legally required minimum, lawful working hours, and freedom for our employees to associate with organizations of their choosing are also issues important to us. Charitable Giving We’ve contributed millions of dollars to help provide solutions for education and critical needs in communities around the world through The Monsanto Fund. Partnerships We partner with other organizations to work together and develop solutions to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges. We work to benefit not only the farmer, but also consumers and the ecosystem. From the farm to the table, the impact of our products is evaluated and monitored, so that we can continually evolve our product offerings. Third-party agencies and regulatory bodies review and confirm our findings, ensuring we bring safe and effective products to market. We work alongside and form partnerships with many organizations that have interests related to sustainability. From water conservation, honey bee health, STEM education, and more, we consider it more than just our duty to invest in the communities we serve it’s part of our identity.
