It is precisely our concern [about child labour in India] that led us to join the Child Labor Eradication Group of the Association of Seed Industry...earlier this year Monsanto Company’s Board of Directors formally adopted a human rights policy for our company...Monsanto will take a thoughtful, phased and systemic approach to implementation. It is this approach that will guide Monsanto’s efforts in India, as well. Implementation efforts will include communication about the policy to employees and Monsanto’s business partners, as well as the creation of operational guidelines and a management information system, training sessions, and audits as a means to verify compliance.
