Pledge Award Winners

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. Read our Pledge

Past Pledge Award Winners

The 2008 Pledge Award winners and finalists represent the best of the best in demonstrating Monsanto Pledge behaviors while delivering economic, environmental, and societal value in our communities and at work.

Projects nominated around the world — representing many company sectors and geographies — were narrowed to a group of finalists, from which a panel of external judges selected six winners according to two criteria: how the project demonstrates commitment to the Pledge through the application of Pledge values; and what economic, environmental, or societal value the project created.

These winning teams each receive a grant that is donated to the non-profit organization of their choosing. This grant extends the influence and effect of the Pledge beyond our operations. In addition, the panel of external judges has bestowed the Judges’ Choice award to the team that they believe created the greatest impact through their work.
