Monsanto parent company Bayer has agreed to pay up to $10 billion to settle claims that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, causes cancer.
The Agribusiness lobby fights ferociously to ignore or discredit evidence of human and other damage (various forms of cancer) and the herbicide glyphosate.
On their website, the company says that they have a “very clear and principled code of conduct – one we expect all employees, contractors and management to live by every day. We operate under a genuine value system—our pledge—that demonstrates integrity, respect, ethical behavior, perspective and honesty as a foundation for everything we do. “
But actions speak louder than words, and Monsanto’s legacy has been steeped in controversy and coverups for more than a century. The stories exposing such truths on the company continue to go underreported, however, which is why the most recent corrupt actions by the company must be shared.
