The Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a U.S.-based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup". Monsanto is also the leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed; it provides the technology in 90% of the world's genetically engineered seeds.[2] It is headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri.[3]
Agracetus, owned by Monsanto, exclusively produces Roundup Ready soybean seed for the commercial market. In 2005, it finalized purchase of Seminis Inc, making it the world's largest conventional seed company.
Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation, political lobbying practices, seed commercialization practices and "strong-arming" of the seed industry[4] have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the alter-globalization movement and environmental activists. As a result of its business strategies and licensing agreements, Monsanto came under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department in 2009.
Agricultural leader Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) has been named to the list; ranking 59th overall and 22nd among the largest companies named to the list.
Monsanto is the only agricultural technology company to make the top 100 list.
"This recognition by Fortune is a tribute to the more than 10,000 U.S. employees who make up Monsanto," said Steven C. Mizell, executive vice president, human resources.
"It's our people who've created the culture being recognized today; a culture that strives to value each individual and their unique contributions in helping farmers meet the needs of our growing planet."
Mizell adds, "It's this connection to something bigger than ourselves that is one of the reasons we are all so very proud to work at Monsanto."
To select the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America.
Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the Institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company.
The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie.
The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring, communication, and diversity.
Monsanto was recognized for best-in-class employee retention and acknowledged for generous benefits, including: retirement plans, onsite fitness centers and employee wellness programs, paid time off and flexible work schedules.
