The Monsanto Pledge
The Monsanto Pledge is our commitment to how we do business. It is a declaration
that compels us to listen more, to consider our actions and their impact broadly,
and to lead responsibly. It helps us to convert our values into actions, and
to make clear who we are and what we champion.
- Integrity
- Integrity is the foundation for all that we do. Integrity
includes honesty, decency, consistency, and courage. Building on those values,
we are committed to:
- Dialogue
- We will listen carefully to diverse points of view and engage in thoughtful
dialogue. We will broaden our understanding of issues in order to better
address the needs and concerns of society and each other.
- Transparency
- We will ensure that information is available, accessible, and understandable.
- Sharing
- We will share knowledge and technology to advance scientific understanding,
to improve agriculture and the environment, to improve crops, and to help
farmers in developing countries.
- Benefits
- We will use sound and innovative science and thoughtful and effective stewardship
to deliver high-quality products that are beneficial to our customers and
to the environment.
- Respect
- We will respect the religious, cultural, and ethical concerns of people
throughout the world. The safety of our employees, the communities where
we operate, our customers, consumers, and the environment will be our highest
priority.
- Act as Owners
to Achieve Results
- We will create clarity of direction, roles, and accountability; build strong
relationships with our customers and external partners; make wise decisions;
steward our company resources; and take responsibility for achieving agreed-upon
results.

Place to Work

and learning; practice inclusive teamwork; and reward and recognize our people.
